Toowoomba East State School

The two-story brick school building features an undercroft with open play areas and classrooms designed for natural light and ventilation throughout the structure.

The school opened in 1887 following community fundraising efforts, expanding significantly during the 1930s with a major construction project that cost £16,326.

The educational facility stands on traditional lands of the Giabal and Jarowair peoples, marking the transition from indigenous history to European settlement in Toowoomba.

Situated at the corner of Arthur and Mary Streets, the school grounds span 3.37 hectares with mature trees including camphor laurels and jacarandas.

The Depression-era building construction served as an economic stimulus project during the 1930s, accommodating 1000 students by its official opening in 1937.
