History

In 1897, the residents of Campbell's Plains began to lobby for a school,[4] declaring in 1898 that there were more than fifty children in the district.[5] In 1899, the Queensland Government called for tenders to erect the school and teacher's residence. Campbell's Plains State School opened on 13 November 1899 under headmaster James Allen Ferguson.[6] In 1900, the post office at the school was renamed Sladevale because the name Campbell's Plains was too common.[7] In 1903, the school was renamed Sladevale State School. The school closed in 1932 and its teacher's resident relocated to Applethorpe.[8][9] Local residents tried to have the school re-opened in 1937 without success.[10] In 1944, it was agreed to re-open the school with about 17 students.[11][12] It closed on 28 April 1967.[13][14] It was at 12739 Cunningham Highway (28°09′57″S 152°04′18″E / 28.16595°S 152.07166°E / -28.16595; 152.07166 (Sladevale State School (former))).[15][16]
