Abergowrie State School is a school Situated 140 km north of Townsville (and 40 km north-west of Ingham) on the Herbert River. Established in 1953 to serve a soldier settlement for servicemen returning from the Second World War, the school is surrounded by sugar cane farms and is in close proximity to the Abergowrie College.
History
In its early years, Abergowrie State School had provided government education for families residing in the area, to support the then thriving sugar cane industry. The school's enrolment numbers had steadily increased until the early 90's, when the student population peaked above 100 students. Extensions to the school throughout this period included a demountable pre-school unit and major extensions to the main building to accommodate the then growing population. However, with technological advancements in the sugar industry, the human workforce that was required for harvesting and planting became obsolete and in a relatively short time, the town's population had substantially diminished. Currently, 19 students are enrolled. Recently, the preschool building has been turned into a functional kitchen/tuckshop area and multi-purpose room.
