Townsville Central State School is comprised of a dedicated and experienced staff, thoughtful and positive students and active and involved parents. The school maintains a very strong and positive community feel to it, which is valued greatly.
Townsville Central is now 143 years old, is the oldest school in Townsville and is located on the site of the original Townsville Gaol, giving us a strong sense of history. Situated in North Ward and in walking distance to the Strand, Queens Gardens, Castle Hill, Red Track and the CBD, we believe, gives us the best location for a school in Townsville.
The school population has more than doubled since 2004, and currently has approximately 320 students. The school increased a class group in 2011 and 2012.
The school has one full computer lab and one mini lab and all classes have at least two desktops in their room. All rooms have interactive whiteboards and we have a range of peripherals, including cameras, video cameras, iPads and digital microscopes, and eBooks will be added to the library this year.
