History

Budgee State School opened on 11 November 1913. In 1916 it became a half-time school with Hirstvale Provisional School (meaning they shared a single teacher). When the Hirstvale school closed in 1917, Budgee returned to full-time school status. In 1917 Hirstvale School closed and Budgee once again became a full time school. The school closed on 23 February 1941, and reopened on 29 January 1952. It closed permanently on 24 January 1965.[3]

In the 2016 census Budgee had a population of 35 people.[1]
