Allanson Primary School has a long and colourful history and tradition as documented by Aileen Rusconi and Esther Saunders in the Publication, 'Our Little Bush School.'
The original Allanson School was established in 1913 to cater for children from families involved in the first coal mining and timber felling operations in this region. Dorothy Gibson was our school's founding principal and she opened the rolls with 27 students.
