In 1979, the school building was relocated to the Mount Gravatt College of Advanced Education (now Griffith University Mount Gravatt campus) which is located in Mount Gravatt in Brisbane. There the building was initially used as a museum display school, then resumed as a primary school known as Old Yarranlea State School to provide trainee teachers with experience in a one-teacher school setting, Following its closure for cost-cutting reasons, it was re-established as an independent school known as Yarranlea Primary School.[6] [7] [8]
