Toowoomba South State School, Public education heritage site in South Toowoomba, Australia.
The three-story brick educational complex at 158 James Street features mature trees, landscaped areas, and a historic playshed from 1884.
Opening its doors in 1865 as Toowoomba National School, the institution divided into separate departments for boys, girls, and infants by 1869.
The school grounds served as a center for community gatherings and social interactions among local families throughout multiple generations until 2013.
The Department of Public Works designed the educational facility with climate-responsive architecture and standardized construction methods for regional Queensland schools.
After operating continuously for 148 years, the school closed in 2013 and received heritage listing recognition for its educational significance.
