Barmoya Central State School opened on 28 August 1918.[4] 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.[5] In October 1931, it was proposed to relocate the school building to Rossmoya Road where 16 students could attend the school,[6] [7] but some parents thought it was too distant for their children to travel to and from the school each day.[8] [9] In June 1932, it was decided to move the school to Rossmoya Road,[10] but, in March 1933, the government said there were insufficient funds available to move the school at that time.[11] In September 1933, tenders were called to relocate the school.[12] The school was relocated in January 1934.[13] In 1936, it was renamed Wattlebank State School.[14] It closed in December 1959. It was on the western side of Rossmoya Road (approx).[15]
