The history of Reedy Creek State School
1870s
Reedy Creek opened as a common school in 1871. The first head teacher was John Stewart.
The school became a state school at some stage between 1873 and 1878.
A new schoolhouse was built in 1879. There were 32 students at the school. The head teacher was J. McCarthy.
1882
Because student numbers were low, the school became part-time and Reedy Creek shared a teacher with Broadford North State School (No. 1897). It shared its only teacher with Broadford North and the teacher split their time between both schools.
1885
Reedy Creek State School closed in 1885.
There were only 8 students at the school when it closed. They moved to Upper Reedy Creek State School (No. 2234) which was around 5 km away.
