Abstract
Mooloolaba State School was first opened in 1933. Naturally, the school in those early years was much different to the school today. Originally the school had only one main building (A Block) which is located facing Meta Street. This building still exists today but has been extended over the years. (Parent Information Handbook)
Mooloolaba Provisional School opened on 2 May 1933. On 24 January 1938 it became Mooloolaba State School (Wikipedia)
Mooloolaba derives from the Indigenous Australian word, "mulu", meaning snapper fish, or "mulla", meaning Red-bellied Black Snake. Originally known as Mooloolah Heads, the name was changed to Mooloolaba by Thomas O'Connor in 1919 when he subdivided land for sale there. (Wikipedia)
