The first school venue was in a building built by George Antonie (Samaha) as a store. It opened on 18th October 1909. Later the Education Department built a school which was opened n hte 16th February 1910. In 1919, another room was added to the original room. In the 1950's it was still used and between 1952 and 1958, the school milk was supplied. School teacher's house in the 1950's? A demountable classroom was added in 1966 which meant that grades 5-7 could attend Coomberdale school instead of going to Moora. In 1975, an extra teacher was employed and the hall was a classroom. Although a new school opened in Moora in 1978, in 1984 a new building was constructed at Coomberdale. It closed in 1990.
