The Edmonton Catholic School was established on 29 April 1929 by the Sisters of Mercy with an initial enrolment of 30 pupils. In 1965 it was renamed St Therese’s School. As suburban development increased around Edmonton, the rising number of students made it necessary to relocate the school to neighbouring Bentley Park in 1995. Although now under lay leadership, the school continues to be operated in the Mercy tradition.Bentley Park State School was originally opened in 1997. In 2004, the construction of high school facilities made it a P-12 school called Bentley Park College.At the 2011 census, Bentley Park had a population of 7,420.In the 2016 census, Bentley Park had a population of 8,018 people.
