History

In 1918, it was renamed Crowley Vale State School. In 1923, the school had 40 children enrolled and parents requested a new school building.[6] The school closed circa 1941.[7] It was at 42 Crowley Vale Road (corner of Warrego Highway, 27°32′37″S 152°22′42″E / 27.54374°S 152.37831°E / -27.54374; 152.37831 (Crowley Vale State School (former))).[8][9] In 1951, tenders were called to re-erect the school building at the Gatton Agricultural College as a lunch room for farmhands.[10] In 1996, it was relocated to the western side of Services Road with the college grounds.[11][12] In 1995, it was re-located to its present position west of Services Road.[13][14]
