History
Kooralbyn is a Yugambeh word meaning the place of the copperhead snake.First European settlement in the area can be traced back to the 1830s when southern timber millers sought the quality hardwoods of the lower valleys. It was not until Australia's first major land booms in the 1840s that free settler pastoralists migrated to the region. Kooralbyn subsequently became one of the region's most significant pastoral estates, the land used largely for cattle grazing.
Kooralbyn International School opened on 30 January 1985.
