Old Durrumbul Hall was established on private land in 1911 and in 1921 was moved by bullock team to its present site. The journey of 1km took 8 days.

In 1981 a group of Main Arm families started a parent run day care group to provide a much needed service to the community.
The Durrumbul Hall committee allowed the old hall to be used as a space to hold the group.

After a year or so the day care group was so successful the Main Arm community decided a permanent preschool was needed and Durrumbul Preschool was born. The preschool shared the hall space with the community – there were wild community moon dances on the weekend and a quick change Monday morning back to preschool. There was no fencing, no rules and a couple of tin-can outhouses that had to be emptied Friday afternoon by the intrepid preschool staff.

In 1993 the new Durrumbul Hall was built and Durrumbul Preschool inherited the old hall as a permanent home. Parents and volunteers banded together and a new amenities block was built complete with flushing toilets and we’ve never looked back.

Our preschool was truly built by the community for the community.
