  • Complete History of Maryborough
    Maryborough State High School Cnr Kent and Ferry Streets MARYBOROUGH QLD 4650 Ph: 07 4120 9333 Fx: 07 4120 9300 email: [email protected] Part 1 MARYBOROUGH IN 1880 Maryborough in 1880 was a prosperous town. Agricultural exports were booming, immigrants were flowing into the area and many new industries had been established - Walkers Engineering Works, Hyne’s Sawmills, Fairlie and Sons Joinery Works, Gas and Coke Works and Steindl’s Brewery in Granville. With the growth of the town, there was a demand for a school of higher learning. In 1876 a ten acre block bounded by Kent, Fort, Sussex and Ferry Streets was reserved for school purposes. The Grammar Schools Act of 1860 allowed any municipality which raised ₤1000 by private subscription could claim a ₤2000 grant from the government to establish a Grammar School and ₤500 a year for running costs (later increased to ₤1000). A fund to establish a Grammar School in Maryborough was started and by 1876 over ₤1493 had been raised. Anyone who subscribed at least ₤5 was entitled to vote to elect trustees. (Source: Beutel, 1976, p60) THE SITE The Trustees initially decided to have the school built on the Ululah Reserve, but this started a controversy as many Maryborough residents opposed this, preferring the Kent Street site. As one person wrote in a letter to the Chronicle on February 26, 1880 1) “It is an indisputable fact that all schools situated near a large body of water annually lose 1 to 5% from drowning. How can you keep boys from bathing, fishing, stalking eels etc? 2) It must be very unhealthy as the air is often charged with vapoury exhalations and malarious gases.
