Pinnacle

History

In 1907, the Daily Mercury reported that a petition had been raised for a school to be established in the Pinnacle district. It was noted that the only available school was in Septimus which was difficult for children to access, particularly in poor weather. Pinnacle Provisional School opened on 4 June 1908. In 1908 it became Pinnacle State School.
