The first Rosalie Plains Provisional School opened in 1881 as a half-time school with Irvingdale Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher) but closed on 6 May 1881.

The school closed permanently in March or April 1944. [4] [6] It was on the western side of the Jondaryan Nungil Road ( 27°15′53″S151°37′14″E / 27.26459°S 151.62059°E / -27.26459; 151.62059 (Brymaroo State School (former)) ). [7] [8]

Nungil Provisional School opened in 1904. [9] On 1 January 1909, it became Nungil State School. It closed in 1949. [4] It was on a 2-acre (0.81 ha) site on Pechey-Maclagan Road ( 27°11′42″S151°36′57″E / 27.19506°S 151.61570°E / -27.19506; 151.61570 (Nungil State School (former)) ). [7] [8]

Ashlea Provisional School opened on January 1907. On 1 January 1909, it became Ashlea State School, being renamed Rosalie Plains State School in 1916. It closed circa 1944. [10] It was on the eastern side of Old Rosalie School Road ( 27°12′15″S151°39′42″E / 27.20427°S 151.66179°E / -27.20427; 151.66179 (Rosalie Plains State School (former)) ). [11] Despite the name, the school was in the present-day locality of Brymaroo. [12]

St Lambert's Anglican Church was dedicated on 17 November 1911. Its closure on 25 June 1995 was approved by Assistant Bishop Wood. [13]
