Belmont State School began in 1876 with forty-seven children under the tutelage of Mr Jennings. By 1889, the number of children had declined to twenty and the school was in danger of closure, particularly as the regional inspector noted that only 5% of the school (one pupil) attended on most days. By the 1920s it had given way in importance to Carina School, which, when it began had taken the Belmont principal and teacher, Mr Briggs and Mr Douglas King. Enrolment steadily increased after World War II. It remained a one-teacher school for another sixty years and the original building was used until 1962. With the population increase after this time, Belmont State School was extended.
