Jindalee State School (JSS) is a co-educational primary school in the western Brisbane suburb of Jindalee, Queensland. It caters to students from Prep to Grade 6, and is a feeder school to Centenary State High School. The enrollment of JSS peaked at 981 in 1981 and was about 977 in 2018.[2]
History[edit]
The first school in the Centenary area was the Seventeen Mile Rocks Provisional School, which opened in 1871.[citation needed] 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.[citation needed] Since then the school has grown 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.[citation needed]

Laptop Curriculum[edit]
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.[citation needed] However, the Laptop program was discontinued in 2015 due to the new "BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)" classes.[citation needed]
