History

The Queensland Government gazettal proclamation of 22 September 1960 announced that the school would be opening at the beginning of 1961, but it was to be named Stafford State High School.[4] [5] It was renamed to its current name on 8 December 1960 and opened on 23 January 1961.[6]

Despite the growth of the Everton Park area, the Queensland Government revealed plans to close the school, along with eight others in 2013.[7] However, by September of the very same year, it was revealed that the school would not be closing, which was a relief to the school community.[8]
