Tresswell State School was opened in 1971, on a property called 'Tresswell' and in 1974 the new building was erected in its present location and opened in March 1974. The school’s 40th birthday was celebrated in 2011.
The school building consists of a classroom, offices, library, art area, kitchen and kitchenette. The library, art area and kitchenette are all fitted with evaporative cooling. The classroom, offices and and kitchen are fitted with split system air conditioners.
We provide a safe and caring environment for all students which enhances their ability to learn academically and to develop their characters and thinking skills.
Although distances are great, community relationships are highly valued.
