Search Queensland Education Gazette

The education departments in Australian states were very large organizations with schools spread across the colony/state from the most remote settlements to the inner city. Education Gazettes were

published primarily to provide instructions and information to the staff of government schools. They're a fantastic resource for historians wanting to know more about the schools and teachers of the era -

and an excellent way for anyone building a family history to find their ancestors.

In these gazettes, you'll find individual teachers and staff in relation to a variety of fascinating information:

• staff deployment: admissions, transfers, those who left the service
• tenders for works accepted
• teachers college students
• winners of scholarships and bursaries

These come generally listed with the staff name, position, and school. It's a wonderful genealogy tool for anyone building a family tree.
