Greenlands
State
School has
a colourful and proud history of service to the Granite
Belt and Traprock Area communities. The school was
created in 1924 after a request from the residents
of Spring Creek who signed a petition for the establishment
of a new school in their area.
The area
now known as Greenlands derived its name from the
selection of a grazing lease by Mr Greenland in 1872.
At the end of World War 1, the government resumed
and subdivided this area for settlement by returned
servicemen.
In the past,
Greenlands
State
School has
alternated between being staffed by one or two full
time teachers according to its enrolment.
In
1999, the school’s (and surrounding area) history
was set out in the 75th Jubilee Magazine. Copies
are available to purchase by contacting the school.
