Tiaro State School has played a significant role in the quality education of the community since the 1st of November 1870. On day one of opening there were 30 students enrolled and the only teacher was a Mr Edward Cochrane.
The original location of the school was just north of it's current location.
The block of land on which the school now stands, has a total area of no less than 5 acres. It was purchased by the government for £10 ($20) in July 1877 and converted to freehold. By December 1877 both a school house and teachers residence were constructed.
