Cedar Creek State School

About

Cedar Creek State School was opened on 21 September 1874 on the present site of the school. There are few records of the initial days of the school but it was envisaged that all work was completed by a local committee. One fifth of the cost of building a school was found by local subscriptions. After the task went to tender, the school building was built but not to a satisfactory standard. The school inspector commented very unfavourably on the buildings in October 1874. In December 1874, The Education Office applied for a school reserve of two acres. This was felt to be too small so an area of five acres was granted that was later increased to ten acres but in 1913, two acres was surrendered for the School of Arts Hall. Today this is the Cedar Creek Hall and our school is situated on the side of a slope heading towards the Albert River right beside this historical hall.
