History

The first school in the Centenary area was the Seventeen Mile Rocks Provisional School, which opened in 1870. After the opening of the Centenary suburbs to residential development, Jindalee State School was opened on Burrendah Road in 1966, with an original enrolment of 64. Since then the school has grown far larger, with the opening of more "blocks" over the years, culminating with the opening of the school hall in 1998 and the renovation of a new block in front of the school hall, called H8 and H7 in 2006 and the Kirinari block behind the Hall in 2011.

Laptop Curriculum

During 2009, Jindalee was the first school in the Centenary suburbs to have laptop classes, in which students do most of their work digitally on laptops. However, the Laptop program was discontinued in 2015 due to the new "BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)" classes.
