Welcome to our school
On behalf of the Burpengary State School community, I extend to you and your family, a warm welcome. At Burpengary State School, we have a proud tradition of academic excellence since 1876. Our students and staff work hard to ensure that we are the school of first choice for the local community and we are an accredited international school accepting and supporting students from overseas.
At Burpengary, we strive for a quality education with endless possibilities. To achieve this ethos, we value working together with our parent community to ensure a safe, caring, disciplined and highly productive learning environment with a student-centred learning approach.
We provide high level support to enable all our students to achieve their full potential. Inclusive practice within any workplace requires patience, understanding and a differentiated approach for every learner. It is my expectation that Burpengary State School staff will endeavour to nurture your child’s emotional well-being amidst having high expectations for their learning. These expectations for our students are premised on modelling ERRIC within our school – Excellence Respect Resilience Integrity Cooperation.
It is my belief every child needs a champion to lean on at times and to help them through challenging moments throughout their young lives. Connecting with students and our school community lays the foundation in which to build strong educationally focussed partnerships.
Burpengary State School P&C (Parents and Citizens) Association holds the traditions and values of our school community. I encourage you to consider being a part of our P&C.
I look forward to connecting with you and your child and thank you for allowing us the opportunity to partner with you over the coming years to enhance the learning for your child.
