History

For over 150 years, Maryborough Central State School has been at the heart of our community, nurturing generations of students and reflecting the evolving story of education in Maryborough.

Our historic campus, a landmark on Kent Street, showcases a captivating blend of architectural styles, each building a testament to the changing values and approaches to learning throughout our rich history.

The school's remarkable journey began in 1862, and its impact on the lives of countless students is undeniable. From the elegant 1875-76 building, a symbol of Queensland's immigration boom, to the charming 1881-82 timber infants' school, each structure has a unique tale to tell.

Our dedication to innovation is evident in the interwar expansion of technical education, represented by the significant Block B. Today, we continue this legacy by providing a vibrant and supportive learning environment for all our students.

Maryborough Central State School is more than just a school; it's a cherished part of our community's heritage. Join us as we celebrate our past, embrace our present, and inspire our future.
