About Us

In 2006 Camp Hill State Infants and Primary School was established after the merger of the two Camp Hill schools located on adjoining campuses - Camp Hill Primary School (established 1926) and Camp Hill Infants School (established 1951). Our school combines the proud histories and traditions of two schools that both had very deserved reputations for providing excellence in education.

Camp Hill State Infants and Primary School is set across two campuses, Junior (Prep to Year 2) and Senior (Year 3 - 6). It is situated on large grounds and has a diverse range of sporting facilities including a heated pool and two halls (performance and multipurpose). The school is committed to respecting and developing our unique environment which includes the koala corridor.
