Springsure State School was among the earliest schools to be founded in Queensland, as is shown by its departmental number 102. The school was established on March 14th 1870. The first head teacher was John Henry Nicholson, son of an eminent scholar, John Nicholson, who was Ludwig Leichhardt's first English friend.
1964 saw the establishment of the Secondary Department. At first there was no secondary school building so the Department rented the newly erected R.S.L. Hall to accommodate the pupils. By the end of the year however, the high school was built and such was its progress that at the end of 1968, a new classroom and staffroom were added. Schooling is offered from Prep to Year Ten on the one site. Springsure's Preschool Centre commenced operation in 1980 and since the introduction of a Preparatory (PREP) class, our students are very well prepared to commence their compulsory years of schooling. On behalf of our school, staff and students, we welcome your child and your family to Springsure State School and look forward to your involvement, co-operation and support during your child’s educational journey. There is a great deal of school pride at Springsure State School and we have a long and distinguished history to live up to. We encourage all of our students to take pride not only in themselves, but also in their school. Springsure State School is a caring, supportive school, with high expectations in school performance, behaviour and dress.
