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.
