Primary Schools
Primary schools tend to be more numerous and smaller than High Schools in the Queensland State education system. Primary Schools rely strongly on the support and fundraising of their P&Cs (Parents and Citizens Associations).
Primary Schools in the Education Queensland system are normally named Suburb/Locality/Town/District State School. Unlike some other schooling systems, State Schools in Queensland are normally not (re)named to commemorate significant individuals or historic events.

Famous quotes containing the words primary schools, primary and/or schools:
“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
