[9] [10] [11] In July 1878, there were 16 students enrolled (11 girls and 5 boys). [12] In 1883, the school enrolments were below the minimum threshold. [13] It closed in 1896. It reopened in January 1914 with Miss Louisa Pearl Wise appointed as teacher. [14] On 1 April 1926, it became Eel Creek State School. In 1936, tenders were called to erect a new school building. [15] In 1948, it was renamed Landshaw State School. It closed on 25 August 1962.

Eel Creek Church of Christ opened on Sunday 12 May 1907 on land donated by Mr H Fittell. [20] [21] The building was later relocated to be the Sunday school hall of the Church of Christ at 9 Crescent Street, Gympie. [22]
