History
Woolooman Provisional School opened on 9 March 1908 under headteacher W. M. Howe.[3][4][5][6][7] On 1 January 1909, it became Woolooman State School. It closed in 1913 due to low attendances. The school re-opened in a new building on 21 August 1933 as Woolooman State School.[8][9][10] It closed permanently in 1937.[11] In 1941, it was planned to move the school building to Woodhill State School,[12] but evidently this did not occur as in 1946, the building was relocated to Nudgee Beach State School in Nudgee Beach.[13][14]
