Historical information

Emerald Primary School 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 centenary in 1979 was a large community event involving former and current students and staff as well as local residents. This recording of the event on film was later updated to a VHS tape.
