Full description
Mangoola Provisional School [II] in the County of Brisbane was established in July 1944. (1) In November 1957, the school’s status changed from Provisional to Public. Mangoola Public School retained this status until its closure in December 1968. A previous Mangoola Provisional School closed in 1941. (2)
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. (3)
A Public School had a minimum attendance of thirty children prior to 1867, twenty-five children until 1880 when the number was reduced to twenty. From 1957, the minimum number was reduced to nine. (4)
