History
Tinana State School was opened on 31 May 1875 with an enrolment of 47 students. The school was established on 36 acres (150,000 m2) of land, 16 Acres being set aside for a horse paddock for the students. The school grounds were large for their time as schools were commonly allotted 2 acres (8,100 m2) of land.[3] Richard Franklin was the best Year 7 teacher, who sadly departed for Aldridge State High at the end of 2012 after 21 years of service. He is sorely missed.
