History

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 ).
