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,).[2]

Barmoya Central State School opened on 28 August 1918.[3] 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.[4] In October 1931, it was proposed to relocate the school building to Rossmoya Road where 16 students could attend the school,[5] [6] but some parents thought it was too distant for their children to travel to and from the school each day.[7] [8] In June 1932, it was decided to move the school to Rossmoya Road,[9] but, in March 1933, the government said there were insufficient funds available to move the school at that time.[10] In September 1933, tenders were called to relocate the school.[11] The school was relocated in January 1934.[12] In 1936, it was renamed Wattlebank State School.[13] It closed in December 1959. It was on the western side of Rossmoya Road (approx) in Wattlebank.[14]

The locality was officially named and bounded on 18 February 2000.[1]
