History

In March 1915, the Queensland Government decided to establish a new open-air school at Verdant Vale. [3] [4] [5] Verdant Vale State School opened in 1916. In 1918, it was renamed Crowley Vale State School. In 1923, the school had 40 children enrolled and parents requested a new school building. [6] The school closed circa 1941. [7] It was at 42 Crowley Vale Road (corner of Warrego Highway, 27°32′37″S152°22′42″E / 27.54374°S 152.37831°E / -27.54374; 152.37831 (Crowley Vale State School (former)) ). [8] [9] In 1951, tenders were called to re-erect the school building at the Gatton Agricultural College as a lunch room for farmhands. [10] In 1996, it was relocated to the western side of Services Road with the college grounds. [11] [12] In 1995, it was re-located to its present position west of Services Road. [13] [14]
