History

Garnant State School opened on 11 September 1930. [3] The school was called Garnant after the town Garnant in Glamorganishire, Wales, which was the home town of local resident Abraham Jones who took a leading role in establishing the school. [4] Presumably the locality took its name from the school. The school building was relocated from neighbouring Morinish (as the Morinish State School had closed in 1928). [3] [5] [6] [7] Garnant State School closed in 1969. It was on Evans Road ( 23°11′25″S150°15′34″E / 23.1902°S 150.2595°E / -23.1902; 150.2595 (Garnant State School (former)) ). [8] [9]
