History

Barmoya Settlement State School opened on 31 August 1911. In 1935, it was renamed Barmoya East State School. It closed on 4 July 1969. It was at 9 C H Barretts Road (corner of East Barmoya Road, ). Barmoya Central State School opened on 28 August 1918. In February 1930, the school was closed because it had only seven students; it was suggested that the school should be moved to a more central location. In October 1931, it was proposed to relocate the school building to Rossmoya Road where 16 students could attend the school, but some parents thought it was too distant for their children to travel to and from the school each day. In June 1932, it was decided to move the school to Rossmoya Road, but, in March 1933, the government said there were insufficient funds available to move the school at that time. In September 1933, tenders were called to relocate the school. The school was relocated in January 1934. In 1936, it was renamed Wattlebank State School. It closed in December 1959. It was on the western side of Rossmoya Road (approx ) in Wattlebank. The locality was officially named and bounded on 18 February 2000.
