History

Redland Bay Provisional School opened on 13 November 1877 and in 1880 was renamed Victoria Point Provisional School. When a separate Redland Bay Provisional School opened on 14 December 1881, the two school operated on a half-time basis, sharing a teacher between them until Victoria Point Provisional School became a full time school again with its own teacher on 15 May 1882. In 1916 a new school building was built on a new site and it opened as Victoria Point State School.St Anne's Anglican Church was dedicated circa 1963. It closed circa 1988.Redlands Luthern Primary School (also known as Faith Primary School) opened on 24 January 1982 on land in Link Road, donated by Wally Hauser.

There were 64 students in Years 1 to 4 and 3 teachers in the school's first year, expanding to offering Years 1 to 7 by the school's third year of operation. The primary school had expected to become a feeder school to the Redeemer Lutheran College, but when that was not possible, it was decided to expand the school to also offer secondary education.
