Education
Little Cabbage Tree Creek School was established in 1890 to serve the local community. Before it was built, students would infrequently attend classes at the schools in Bald Hills or Zillmere. Initial sites for the new school were not approved by the Government before finally accepting the location on the corner of Maundrell Terrace and Horn Road. In 1897 the school was renamed Aspley State School.
By 1960s, the growth of the local area necessitated building additional schools. Aspley East State School and Aspley State High School were opened in 1963. Sisters of St Joseph opened St Dympna's in 1963. Craigslea State School on Hamilton Road was opened and next door Craigslea State High School opened in 1972.
