A new primary school, Bellbird Park State School, was to open on 22 January 2024 under foundation principal Roger Sheehan. [15] However, severe thunderstorms in South-East Queensland over the 2023-2024 summer caused the site to be extensively water-logged preventing the final stages of construction involving outdoor play areas and fire egress. Students enrolled at the school for 2024 will be transported each day to other local schools until the construction is complete. [16] [17] [18] When opened, Bellbird Park State School will be a government primary (Prep-6) school for boys and girls at 30 Harris Street ( 27°38′15″S152°52′43″E / 27.6374°S 152.8787°E / -27.6374; 152.8787 (Bellbird Park State School) ).
