Brisbane State High School: relocating to Musgrave Park in 1925, it became the region’s first free, independent state high school. It is intellectually significant as a school of inquiry that faced authoritarian state censorship of curricula like MACOS and SEMP, illustrating the struggle to maintain an investigative mind against uneducated hysteria.
