Story

Established on its current site in Spring Hill since 1875 (as the Leichhardt Street State School), and with links back to 1860 with the Brisbane National School, Brisbane Central State School is a school of historical significance. The main building and library are heritage listed and the community has a great sense of pride and interest in the school's architecture and history.

Our friendly, inner-city school is characterised by our growing, multicultural student population. Students arrive at our school from a range of countries, ethnicities, language backgrounds, and religions. Over 70% of our students speak English as a Second Language, and are often multilingual. The school is sometimes the 'first port of call' when families arrive in Brisbane from interstate or overseas, and our students are used to providing a warm welcome to new students who have come from all over the globe.
