Primary Schools
Primary schools tend to be more numerous and smaller than High Schools in the Queensland State education system. Primary Schools rely strongly on the support and fundraising of their P&Cs (Parents and Citizens Associations).
Primary Schools in the Education Queensland system are normally named Suburb/Locality/Town/District State School. Unlike some other schooling systems, State Schools in Queensland are normally not (re)named to commemorate significant individuals or historic events.

“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
