History
edit
The first school in Springside was a private school built from slabs on the property of Tom Honor, which was later replaced by larger slab building. Springside Provisional School was built by local parents about one mile south of the earlier school and was opened on 6 February 1888. It became Springside State School in 1897.[3] The school celebrated its diamond jubilee (60th anniversary) on 3 September 1948.[4] It closed on 30 May 1954.[5][6] It was at 28 Tews Road (27°40′06″S 151°35′19″E / 27.66823°S 151.58860°E).[7][8][9]
St John's Anglican Church was dedicated in 1898 and closed circa 1974.[10] It was at 3237 Oakey Pittsworth Road (27°40′07″S 151°35′30″E / 27.66860°S 151.59179°E).[11][9] After closure, the church building was relocated to the site of St Philip's at Mount Tyson for use as a Sunday school and later remodelled as a parish hall.[10] It is now privately owned.[12]
