The school re-opened in a new building on 21 August 1933 as Woolooman State School. It closed permanently in 1937. In 1941, it was planned to move the school building to Woodhill State School, but evidently this did not occur as in 1946, the building was relocated to Nudgee Beach State School in Nudgee Beach.
