SCHOOL HISTORY

Stanwell Park Public School opened for the children of workers when the railway was being constructed in 1917. At first the school rented the Anglican church for 15 shillings a week. There were 42 boys and 66 girls in the first school with their teacher, John Surtees.

In 1928 the present school opened on 1 acre. The additions were built in 1976. The school has grown steadily since then and demountable classrooms were added to cater for extra classes and the library.

In 2004 the new brick building with 4 homebase classrooms was completed and the demountable classrooms were removed.  At present, Stanwell Park Public School caters for 178 students in 7 classes.

SCHOOL SONG

Set in a bracelet of green hills,
Bound by the sea’s silver chain,
Lies our school which to us is a precious stone,
Whose value will never wane.
CHORUS:

We’ll grow …. Strong as the hills that surround us,

Straight as the silver trees,
True as the blue of the sunlit sky,
True as the surf that surges high,
On the golden sands of the beach we love,
At Stanwell Park.
