History

Blackbutt Provisional School opened on 20 January 1896 under teacher Rosa Bella Ryan. On 1 January 1909, it became Blackbutt State School. The school was on a 6-acre-1-rood (2.5 ha) site at 97 Blackbutt Crows Nest Road in present-day Blackbutt South (south-east corner of Haynes Kite Millar Road, 26°54′04″S152°05′58″E / 26.9011°S 152.0994°E / -26.9011; 152.0994 (Blackbutt State School (original site)) ). [3] In 1912, school daily attendance was between 60 and 70 students, [4] leading to a petition from parents to build a new school in a more central location. [5] In January 1914, the school relocated to its current larger site in Blackbutt. [6] [7] [8]
