The Glennie School

It has boarding house facilities and is owned and operated by the Anglican Church.

The first Anglican priest on the Darling Downs was Benjamin Glennie, who spent much of his life raising funds to establish churches and schools for the Darling Downs, including growing and selling vegetables in his garden.

However, at his death, he had purchased a block of land in Newtown, Toowoomba and accrued a sum of £1000 towards the construction of the schools.

[6] In June 1907, the Anglican Church decided to proceed with the establishment of a girls' school because there was an £800 bequest which would lapse if construction did not commence by end of 1907.
