Description: The Levendale Primary School is built out of timber weatherboards and a iron roof. With the continued growth of Levendale towards the end of the 1890s led to local demands for improved services to cater for the growing needs of the community. With the Reverend T. W. Pitt, Church of England Minister and the Hon. W.W. Perkins, M. L. C. the government agreed to build a school at Levendale using federation money. This inspired the community to look for an appropriate name for the town, after all "The Scrub" State School must have had a peculiar ring to it, one that doubtless inspired little confidence. The school open on the 15th April 1901 and is still being used today with a student population of 27.
