School History & Details

Situated in Gimuy Wallubarra Yidinji land, in the southern suburbs of Cairns, lies Bentley Park College, a State P-12 institution. The name and logo of the college are inspired by an old farming property that can be seen from the campus. Originally intended to serve as a primary school only in the Centenary Park area, Edmonton State School was to be named after the surrounding tiny town. In Term 4 of 1997, it began as a preschool. In 1998, it became a P–7 school and changed its name to Bentley Park State School. Bentley Park eventually replaced the previous name of Centenary Park for the suburb. The old "Middle School" (Years 6-9), "Senior School" (Years 10–12), and "Junior School" (Years P–5) amalgamated into two sectors in 2011: P–6 and 7–12. These sectors were subsequently renamed the Primary Sector and Secondary Sector.
