Statement of Significance
Bena State School No. 3062 is an interwar weatherboard school with a gable roof. The original classroom under a single gable. A room has been added on the east side, which is contained under a skillion. There have been a number of other alterations and additions to the extent that only some of the original form is recognisable and it is unclear how much original fabric remains.
It is also of historic and aesthetic interest as, when originally built, it was the first of its type in the State and became the basis of a standard design for schools in other locations, which was known as the "Bena type". However, evidence of the original fabric is now lost under later alterations, which diminishes its significance in this regard.
