Fortitude Valley SS 150th celebrations
The Fortitude Valley State School in Brookes Street with close to a thousand pupils in its heyday and now one of Brisbane’s smallest schools, is about to be turned upside down in search of some time capsules.
The 150th anniversary of the school’s beginning on 4th March 1861 in a shed near the corner of Ann and Brunswick streets, the site of today’s Royal George hotel, is fast approaching and the sesquicentenary committee seeks the general community’s help to locate two time capsules—one buried about 1950/51, the other in the 1970s. No record of their interment has been found to date.
As part of the “Back to the Valley” celebrations we also desperately need to locate past pupils and teachers for an invitation to morning tea and a commemorative photo shoot on Friday 4th March 2011 at the school. Pupils and teachers will mark the occasion by the unveiling of a plaque commemorating 150 years of education in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley.
It will be necessary to register interest to attend this event. Details at https://sites.google.com/site/fvss150/ . Further enquiries and any details leading to the discovery of the time capsules can be sent to fvss150@gmail.com or telephone Ray Thurlow on (07) 33535547

Education Gazettes
Education Gazettes are a neglected source of information for family historians – not just for information on teachers but also for students and tradesmen who are likely to have worked on the school buildings ... and much more
What do they contain?
- For teachers - admissions, transfers, resignations, promotions and courses they have completed
- For students - Junior, Senior and University results (for part of the period covered)
- Scholarships and bursaries
- War related information including Rolls of Honour
- For contractors - the nature of the work, the school, the amount and the contract time
- As well there are examination questions (these can make interesting reading), information on student project clubs and much more.
In Queensland, the gazettes commenced in 1899 - they are available on searchable CDs to 1958. Check them out at SLQ and the Queensland FHS on CD. The University of Queensland, the Queensland FHS, QUT (Kelvin Grove) and the Department of Education and Training libraries have good runs of the original gazettes.
