Together we Care, Grow and Learn
Woodhill State School is a cozy little country school located in the beautiful Beaudesert Shire. It was built in 1873 at a cost of two hundred eight pounds and nine shillings.
The school's original name was Townsvale National School. A year later the name was changed to Veresdale Primary School. In the early 1900's it was changed yet again to Woodhill State School. This was the name given to the area at the time the railway line was being built from Brisbane to Beaudesert.
Mr. Robert Lennox was the first principal to Woodhill's 60 students. Mr Ron Boddenberg now leads the 135 students into 2008.

Rules for Teachers in 1872
1. Teachers each day will fill lamps, trim the wicks and clean chimneys.
2. Each morning teachers will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the day's session.
3. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to the individual taste of your pupils.
4. Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they attend church regularly.
5. After ten hours in school, the teachers may spend the remaining time reading the Bible or any other good books.
6. Women teachers who marry or engage in unseemly conduct will be dismissed.
7. Every teacher should lay aside from each pay a goodly sum of his earnings for his benefit during his declining years so that he will not be a burden on society.
8. Any teacher who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls or gets shaved in a public barber shop will give good reason to suspend his worth, intention, integrity and honesty.
9. The teacher who performs his labor faithfully and without fault for five years will be given an increase of twenty-five pence per week in his pay, providing the Board of Education approves.
