​​The town of Hebel was established in 1889 under the name of Kelly's Point and it has been claimed that Dan Kelly and Steve Hart, members of the Kelly Gang, resided in the Hebel area under assumed names. In the early 1890's, the town was reputedly renamed after the German immigrant Noble Van Hebel took up residence. Hebel State School was then opened in 1901 providing a valuable service to the local community.

Hebel is situated close to the New South Wales border and approximately half way between Dirranbandi to the north and Lightning Ridge to the south. The town services a significant farming population with the school being the centre of a strong community focus.

Hebel State School is a small Kindy to Year 6 school in the Balonne Cluster, a member of the Darling Downs South West Region. We currently have 8 students enrolled in two multi-age classrooms; an early years classroom catering for students in Kindy and  a middle years classroom catering for students from Prep to Year 6.

Hebel State School is well resourced with air-conditioning in all buildings. Both classrooms have access to interactive whiteboards. The ten classroom computers make it easy for students to integrate their computer skills into everyday learning and the enormous covered multi-purpose court provides easy access to outdoor learning, despite the weather.

Despite our remote location, students have access to many extra-curricular activities such as public speaking competitions, education enrichment program, swim camp, instrumental music, Arts Council performances and a range of sporting carnivals.

As a member of Hebel State School students and staff are responsible, respectful, safe and constantly learning. Practising these four values, combined with our motto, 'Only our best will do', results in a supportive and engaging learning environment conducive to academic achievement and social development, something that the school community takes immense pride in. If you would like to join our wonderful school community or would simply like more information, please don't hesitate to contact the school.
