History
A Lutheran congregation formed in 1899 and in November 1890 opened St Paul's Lutheran Church. In 1991, due to differences of opinion on religious issues, the church separated from the Lutheran Church of Australia and, in 1992, joined with a number of other like-minded Lutheran congregations to form the Australian Evangelical Lutheran Church.[4]
Local residents requested a school in 1901.[5] Tenders were called to construct the school in May 1902.[6] Boah Peak Provisional School opened circa September 1902, being renamed Silverleigh Provisional School in 1904. On 1 January 1909, it became Silverleigh State School. It closed on 4 June 1967.[7] It was at 836 Acland Silverleigh Road (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[8][9]
