The history of Glenluce State School
1865
Glenluce opened as a common school in 1865.
The first head teacher was Albert D. Forest.
The schoolhouse had one room but later another 2 rooms were added for the teacher to live in.
1870s
The school became a state school at some stage between 1873 and 1878.
1912
Glenluce had low student numbers so it became a part-time school. It shared its only teacher with Porcupine Ridge State School (No. 1356), and the teacher split their time between both schools.
1920
Glenluce State School closed in 1920. There were only eight students and they moved to Drummond North State School (No. 937).
The schoolhouse was sold, dismantled and taken away.
