Full description
Roxburgh Provisional School in the County of Brisbane was established on 4 February 1930 (1) and was renamed Mangoola Provisional School in May 1933. (2) Mangoola remained a Provisional School until its closure in June 1941. A subsequent Mangoola Provisional School was opened in July 1944. (3)
Provisional Schools emerged in 1867 and could be established in areas where at least 15 children, but fewer than 25 required for a Public School, could be expected to attend. The minimum number of students was reduced to twelve in the 1880s, ten from 1898, and nine from 1945. (4)
