History

In 1907, the Daily Mercury reported that a petition had been raised for a school to be established in the Pinnacle district. It was noted that the only available school was in Septimus which was difficult for children to access, particularly in poor weather.[3] Pinnacle State School opened on 4 June 1908.[4]
