new entry? BLACKHEATH AND THORNBOROUGH COLLEGES, KING STREET, CHARTERS TOWERS, 4820.
Thornborough College for boys was founded in 1919, and this was followed two years later by the establishment of Blackheath College for girls, both functioned as boarding schools under the control of the combined Presbyterian and Methodist Churches In 1979 the schools became non-denominational, with a local School Board taking over the administration from the Church body Current plans are for the transfer of female students from the former Blackheath site in Stubley Street, to new accommodation at a single school site at Thornborough. The following details of records were taken from holdings at both schools. The advice from the school was that a quantity of school records is held in Brisbane, by the former administrative body, the Presbyterian and Methodist Schools Association, inquiries at the Association headquarters at 66 Queen Street, Brisbane, proved unsuccessful
