ÌÇÐÄÊÓÆµ Springfield - 20 Years of Impact

From foundations to a campus at the heart of one of Australia's fastest-growing regions.

In 2026, ÌÇÐÄÊÓÆµ Springfield marks 20 years as a cornerstone of Greater Springfield’s growth – expanding access to education, building workforce capability, and creating opportunity for a rapidly evolving region.

Established in 2006 as part of the Education City vision, the campus was designed to grow with the community – integrating education, industry, health, and civic life from day one.

Two decades on, ÌÇÐÄÊÓÆµ Springfield remains a long-term anchor: connecting people to opportunity, and helping shape the future of South East Queensland. The milestone will be marked through a series of initiatives, including a ÌÇÐÄÊÓÆµ Springfield Community Open Day on Saturday 8 August, bringing the community together to reflect on the campus’s impact and future.
