History

Kholo Provisional School opened circa 1 January 1877. It was described in June 1877 as being in a barn in an inconvenient location. In June 1878, the local residents were advocating for a more permanent state school. In September 1883, a report describes the school as having "most irregular" attendance. In July 1884, Kholo was again mentioned as having an average attendance of 16 students out of 30 enrolled. It closed circa 1 December 1884. In July 1886, local residents asked for a state school to replace the former provisional school, but no further schools were built in the area.
In May 1881 tenders were called for the erection of a provisional school in Lower Kholo, which seems to result in Kholo Provisional School being casually referred to as Upper Kholo Provisional School.
Kholo, Mount Crosby and Karana Downs were transferred from the City of Ipswich to became part of City of Brisbane in 2000.
In the, Kholo had a population of 397 people.
