Rollingstone State School began in 1916, officially opening on the 4th of September with an enrolment of 28 students. It was called Rollingstone after the meandering creek that flows past the school and out to the ocean at Balgal Beach. The school has continued to grow over the years and has a current enrolment of approximately 60 students. The school follows the Australian National Curriculum and teaches multi-age classes from Prep through to year 6.
