This school building is heritage listed by Brisbane City Council. [5]

In 1901 the school was changed to a State School and thus was renamed Yarranlea State School. Due to falling attendance Yarranlea State School closed was in 1977. [6]

In 1979 the school building was relocated to from its Yarranlea location to the Mount Gravatt College of Advanced Education (now Griffith University Mount Gravatt campus) which is located in Mount Gravatt, Queensland, Australia. The school building was used as a museum display school.

In 1987 the school building was again relocated a short distance within the Griffith University Mount Gravatt campus. On the 27th of January 1987 the school reopened as Old Yarranlea State School.

In December 2013, the school was once again closed by Education Queensland as part of a broader schools cost-cutting program by the Liberal National Party of Queensland who was the political party in charge of the Queensland Government at the time. [7] [8]

The school was reopened as an independent school in July 2014 as Yarranlea Primary School. [9] [10]
