Our commitment to every child
- We listen to you and watch carefully how you learn and what you are learning.
- We always challenge you to try difficult things and to learn new things.
- We teach you to use your imagination to be able to wonder about things and create.
- We help you ask good questions, so your learning stretches your current thinking.
- We help you to become even better in what you are already good at.
- We create rigorous tasks that are relevant, to prepare you for tomorrow’s world.
- We teach you to recognize failure as part of discovering the way something works.
- We help you relate to others with kindness, mindfulness and generosity.
- We teach you how to cooperate well with others and to be open to their perspective.
- We ensure you will be well prepared for your next school and for the rest of your life once you have finished at our school.
Inclusion and diversity
We have high expectations of all students, recognising that, with the right support, all students can succeed.
Our commitment means that children and young people across Queensland, from all social, cultural, community and family backgrounds, and of all identities and all abilities can:
- attend their local state school and education centre and be welcomed
- access and participate in a high-quality education and fully engage in the curriculum alongside their similar-aged peers
- learn in a safe and supportive environment, free from bullying, discrimination or harassment
- achieve academically and socially with reasonable adjustments and supports tailored to meet their learning needs.
We offer parents the choice of enrolling their child, who meets set criteria in highly individualised programs, including through special schools and academies.
