War Memorial
The Kahibah Memorial Hall (originally called the Soldier's Memorial Hall) was opened in 1922 on land approximately 270 m (886 ft) north-west of the current site of the school. When it was demolished in 1996 to make way for home units proceeds of the land sale were paid to the Kahibah Public School P&C Association. In 2004 the Kahibah World War I and World War II honor rolls from the hall were transferred to the Kahibah Public School Memorial Hall for display and safekeeping and the school was registered officially as a war memorial.
