Milton State School is a primary school located about two kilometers west of Brisbane's central business district, serving young students with classrooms and recreational facilities. The school sits within grounds that include playing areas, sports facilities, and green spaces designed for student learning and activities.
The school opened in 1889 as Rosalie State School to serve the expanding population following residential growth and railway construction in the area. It later adopted the name Milton and became an established educational institution in Brisbane's western suburbs.
Students participated in Queensland's first Arbor Day celebrations in 1889 by planting 65 trees throughout the school grounds to enhance the environment.
The school is accessible by public transport and situated in a well-developed residential area with nearby local services. Visitors should note that access may be limited during school hours, as the grounds are primarily used by students and staff.
The school built one of the earliest swimming pools at a state school in Queensland during 1914, reflecting its role in introducing modern educational facilities. This pool was an uncommon feature for schools at that time and showed early forward thinking about student development.
