The Springfield College opened on 1 July 1998.[5]

Staines Memorial College opened 25 January 2005 in Springfield. It is named in the memory of Graham Staines, a missionary in India who was burned to death by fundamentalist Hindus in 1999. In 2010, the college relocated to Redbank Plains.[6][7]

Hymba Yumba Independent School opened in 2011. It was established by Uncle Albert Holt and is based on Indigenous culture. The name comes from the Bidjara language with Hymba referring to the skills such as listening and reflecting while Yumba refers to building and refers to both the creation of the physical premises and the creation of a community around the school. When it first opened, there were 50 students enrolled with 8 staff.[8] Today[when?] it has over 280 students and 40 staff making up the school community.[citation needed]
