At Maroon State School, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. As a small P–6 school, we are uniquely placed to provide personalised and inclusive education that responds to the needs, strengths and interests of each learner. Our teaching and support practices are intentional, specific and focused, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to experience success.
Our first priority is to improve literacy so that all students can communicate effectively – not only in their schooling but in all aspects of life. We know that strong reading, writing, speaking and listening skills open doors for our students and we are dedicated to making these skills a central focus of everything we do.
Our second priority is learning together. We are committed to teaching and learning that is innovative, collaborative and engaging. By working together, sharing ideas and embracing creative approaches, we give our students the tools to succeed now and into the future.
At Maroon State School, we value and invest in strong partnerships – with our families, with other schools and with our wider community. Learning does not stop at the school gate. We connect our students to the world beyond our boundaries, drawing on the strengths and knowledge of our community to enrich learning and provide real-world contexts for success.
We also value the arts, sport and community as vital parts of education. Students are encouraged to try new things, to support each other and to celebrate their efforts and achievements. Combined school camps, cluster events and local opportunities provide our students with experiences that are both exciting and empowering.
The sound of children reading, sharing ideas, working together, singing, laughing and encouraging one another is the sound of learning at Maroon State School. It is a privilege to be part of a team so deeply committed to ensuring that every student learns and grows every day.
A small P–6 school is a truly wonderful place to begin a child’s learning journey. At Maroon State School, we are proud to be guiding that journey with care, purpose and community.
