Buranda State School, Heritage-listed state school in Woolloongabba, Queensland, Australia.

The school occupies a spacious site with symmetrical timber buildings, sporting facilities, and mature trees that support outdoor educational activities.

Founded in 1918, the school operated as separate facilities for boys and girls until 1967, when they merged into a single educational institution.

The school grounds, situated on traditional Turrbal and Jagera lands, include honor boards installed in 1944 commemorating former students who served in World War II.

The Department of Public Works designed the buildings with large south-facing windows and extensive verandahs to maximize natural light and ventilation in classrooms.

The 1926 swimming pool with its dressing shed remains one of the few surviving school swimming facilities from the 1920s in Queensland.
