Location

The school was originally located near Cotton Company's Road (now part of the Logan Motorway) facing the Pacific Highway until it was relocated [3] to Wandilla Crescent [1] in 1974. [3] The construction of the new school was estimated to cost $147,000 in 1973. [4]

History

A school was petitioned for within the region in 1871. [5] The school opened on 25 May 1873 [6] with an initial 37 students [5] (17 boys and 20 girls) [7] enrolled and David Freeman as the Head Teacher. [3] By 1874, the school had 21 boys, and 23 girls (44) enrolled. [8]

The closure of the original school occurred on 28 February 1890 but reopened two months later in April as a Provisional school. [8] The school was reopened as a State School on 23 January 1893 after the closure of the Provisional school. [8]

After the school was moved to its current location, the original school building was moved to Kelvin Grove College in 1975 [7] as a museum; the Minister of Education, Valmond Bird, officially opened it on 8 April 1976. [3] After being donated, [7] the building was moved back to Logan in 2009 to the Beenleigh Historical Village, where it currently resides. [3] It was opened for use at the historical village on 30 July 2010, [7] to teach the history of the Beenleigh region to current school kids. [7]

In May 2024, the school was sent into lockdown after a man was discovered wondering the school grounds wielding an axe. [9] While the man did not approach any students, he was arrested and taken into custody. [9]
