History

Spring Park Provisional School opened on 1918.[2] It became Spring Park State School on 1 April 1924.[3] The school closed in 1928.[4] In 1935 the school, described as being on West Egypt Road (which does not exist on current maps), had been sold to Mr Dyer of Rockmount. He attempted to move the building but was unable to do so due to the condition of the roads.[5]
