History
Cedar Pocket Provisional School opened in July 1906. On 1 January 1909, it became Cedar Pocket State School. It was at 752 East Deep Creek Road (at the junction with Cedar Pocket Road, 26°11′55″S 152°44′50″E / 26.19870°S 152.74732°E / -26.19870; 152.74732 (Cedar Pocket State School (former))).[3][4][5]
Beenam Range Provisional School opened in 1912 as a half-time provisional school in conjunction with Wolvi East Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher). It became a full-time provisional school circa 1915/1916, but closed in March 1919. It reopened on 27 October 1924 as Beenam Range State School. It was at approx 1106 Cedar Pocket Road (26°13′00″S 152°48′00″E / 26.21669°S 152.79997°E / -26.21669; 152.79997 (Beenam Range State School (former))).[3][4][5] (Note that the spelling of the school differs from the spelling of the nearby mountain range, which is Beenaam Range).[6][7]
In 1961, the parents of Beenam Range State School, Cedar Pocket State School, Cootharaba Road State School, and Neusa Vale State School voted in favour of replacing those schools with a central school in the area.[8] Cedar Park State School and Beenam Range State School closed in 1965 with the new Gympie East State School opening in neighbouring Greens Creek on 25 January 1965.[5][8]
