Yarrol Road State School opened on 3 June 1946. In 1948, it became Ventnor State School. It closed in 1960.[5] It was at 1877 Yarrol Road (24.91078°S 151.28643°E).[6][7] In 1963, local residents made an offer of £150 to purchase the school from the Department of Education and the property was transferred to the Ventnor Progress Association on 15 March 1963. Since that time, the school complex has been used as headquarters for the progress association, for religious group services, farming and pastoral bodies and fire control groups and was regularly used as a polling booth. The Ventnor Progress Association continues to own and maintain the premises.[8]
