Wandoan State School

On 30 October 1911, Juandah Provisional School opened on "Juandah Station". The school building was provided by the Blackley family and was part of the old station store, and the school's first teacher, Miss Ellen Laycock, boarded at the Juandah homestead.

In December 1914, the Works Department accepted a tender of £150 to construct an 'open air' school on the school reserve in the newly formed township of Juandah.

The school reserve of 10 acres was heavily infested with prickly pear, however 2 acres had been cleared for the erection of the school building, and a fence was subsequently put up around the 2 acres to form the school grounds.

In February 1915, the new Juandah Provisional School 'open air' building was passed for occupation as a school building by the Department of Public Instruction, and on 1 March 1915, Juandah Provisional School officially became Juandah State School.

The 'open air' school was built so that it caught the south westerly, and westerly winds while the boarded sides facing northeast and northwest afforded little protection from the cold winds of winter.

When the District Inspector, Mr. Charles Kemp, visited the school in September 1917, some blinds had been partially destroyed and were nailed to the walls as the wind had torn them from their rollers, while another section could not be closed at all. Mr. Kemp recommended that a Type 2A (Open Air) school be erected at Juandah.

On 21 December 1917, approval was given for the erection of new State School at Juandah at a cost of £530, and on 2 December 1918 the new Juandah State School was opened. The old open-air school building was subsequently moved to Guluguba.

Juandah State School was re-named Wandoan State School when the township of Juandah was officially changed to Wandoan in December 1926.
