There are no schools in Bogie. Given the extensive size of the locality and limited road network, the school options would depend on the home location. For primary schooling, the options as Osborne State School in Osborne, Gumlu State School in Gumlu, Collinsville State School in Collinsville, Merinda State School and Bowen State School both in Bowen, and Proserpine State School in Proserpine.[3] For secondary schooling, the options are Bowen State High School in Bowen and Collinsville State High School in Collinsville. The northern and southern parts of Bogie are considered too remote for normal secondary school attendance; the options in these areas would be distance education or boarding schools.[3]
