History

Kelvin Grove State College was formed in 2002 with the amalgamation of Kelvin Grove State High School and Kelvin Grove State School.[2] It is one of the largest government educational institutions in Australia.

The amalgamation was an initiative of the Government of Queensland's Smart State initiative. The name was voted upon by students, staff and administration in 2001 from a selection of choices. Thus, the school became a P–12 (prep to year twelve) school for state enrolments. The amalgamation also created 3 sub schools; 'The Junior School' catering for grades prep to 5, 'The Middle School' catering for grades 6 to 9 and 'The Senior School' catering for grades 10 to 12.[3]
