Historical information

Emerald Primary School (EPS) has been educating the children of the town and district since its inception in 1879 in East Emerald (now Avonsleigh). The school was relocated to its current site in Heroes Avenue, Emerald in 1915 and is the largest primary school in the area. The celebration of the EPS centenary in 1979 was a large community event involving former and current students and staff as well as local residents. VHS (Video Home System) tapes are now discontinued but were the dominant home video format during the 1980s and 1990s. At some point during that time the original film of the 1979 centenary celebrations was transferred to this VHS tape.
