House History
William Laver came from England to Queensland at the age of twelve. His family settled firstly at Cressbrook, near Caboolture. He later married Margaret Dairs and in 1870 moved with his family to Mudgeeraba. They built a house on the hill above the present Uniting Church. Their property was approximately 200 acres.
He was the first man to settle Little Nerang (Neranwood) and used 640 acres as a dairy farm.
William Laver was the first person to be buried in the Mudgeeraba cemetery.
The following was written by Damir Muftic, Year 12, 1987:
Laver House has as its centrepiece a wedge-tail eagle representing strength and care. This high-flying eagle represents a vision of all that Laver strives for.
'We fly on Wings of Eagles' from Isaiah Chapter 10 Verse 31.
For members of Laver House the crest symbolizes unity and pride in their achievements whether they be sporting, artistic or academic.
