Geography

History

The school closed in 1917, but reopened in 1918 as a half-time school in conjunction with Bogandilla Provisional School. In 1919 it was briefly a full-time school (not sharing its teacher) before reverting to a half-time school in conjunction with Noonga Creek Provisional School in August 1920. The school closed circa 1921. On 22 September 1947 a new Noonga State School opened. It closed at end of the school year in 1968.
