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 J. 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]
