Coorparoo State School, State school in Coorparoo, Queensland.

The school campus features two major brick buildings constructed between 1928 and 1942, with extensive outdoor areas and a timber-framed playshed from 1907.

Local landowner Samuel Stevens donated two acres of land in 1876 for the establishment of Coorparoo State School, which began with 37 enrolled students.

The name Coorparoo originates from the Aboriginal term Koolpuroom, referring to either a place of mosquitoes or the sound of a dove.

Located at 327 Old Cleveland Road, the school incorporates architectural designs that maximize natural light and ventilation through careful classroom positioning.

During World War II, the school buildings served as a first aid post and Air Raid Precautions site for the local community.
