With the opening of Dutton Park Place busway station on the Eleanor Schonell Bridge and
4455-688: The newly combined school, two sewered interwar concrete toilet blocks were added to the site in 1936 at a cost of £1637. Detached brick or concrete toilet blocks were an uncommon addition to schools at this time, as detached toilet blocks were more likely constructed using timber, and most Depression-era brick school buildings included toilets in their understorey. Toilets were located underneath brick school buildings at: Norman Park State School , Ascot State School , and Wooloowin State School , while other schools such as Kangaroo Point State School had detached timber toilet blocks. Similar designs were produced in

A former student stated in 1984 that these palms were the original palms planted in 1908. The school logo, designed in 1959, included a representation of the palm trees planted in 1908 along the Annerley Road boundary. The commencement of the Pacific theatre of war during World War II (WWII), in December 1941, with its threat to Australia , resulted in
5184-481: The school quickly increased. Within a few months, the average daily attendance was about 555 students. Consequently, it was decided to separate the school into a Girls and Infants school, and a Boys school. In 1884, the school reserve was extended by 4 acres (1.6 ha) to the south to accommodate the new boys school building. Work commenced on the Woolloongabba Boys School, sited on the southern portion of

In 1889, 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) of land was resumed from the school reserve for re-alignment of the Cleveland railway line , dividing the Girls and Infants School (north of the railway line) from the Boys School (south of the railway line). An important component of Queensland state schools was their grounds. The early and continuing commitment to play-based education, particularly in primary school, resulted in
5427-465: The schools were renamed to Dutton Park Girls and Infants State School and Dutton Park Boys State School. In 1935, the two schools were merged to form Dutton Park State School. Between 1901 and 1969 the suburb was served by electric trams . Tram services operated along Gladstone Road and Annerley Road , with a connecting line to the Ipswich Road tram depot along Cornwall Street. J.S. Badger, owner of
