Welcome to the Eagleby South State School website. This site is designed to provide general information about our school community and programs. Please accept our invitation to use the contact details provided to make further inquiries. If you are interested in enrolling your child, now or in the future, you are always very welcome to visit the school and see in action the high quality, personalised education that we are proud to deliver.
Our school is a growing, vibrant community of learners located on the southern edges of Logan City, between the Twin Rivers, Logan and Albert. We are conveniently positioned halfway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast ensuring our local families are able to access a wealth of services.
'Aim higher' is our school motto and it underlines everything we do as a school. We have high expectations of our students educational outcomes and we support them with great individual care in striving to maximise their potential. We seek to engender a high standard of personal accountability and responsibility, so our students will become people of integrity and self-reliance. Our teaching staff is a professional team that is committed to working towards these ideals. Our students are supported by classroom teachers, Special Education Program teachers, Learning Support teachers, teacher aides, a leadership team, multidisciplinary therapists, cleaners, a grounds officer, and a number of visiting specialists. The school leadership team consists of myself, Mrs Jenni Garbutt – Deputy Principal, as well as Mr Andrew Bruce – Head of Curriculum.
We have a very strong commitment to delivering an inclusive program that reaches out to every child, whatever their own unique needs and abilities might be. This sense of acceptance and celebration of individual needs is another hallmark of our school and it provides a culture and environment that brings out the best in young lives as they learn about people and the world around them. We are proud to have a strong focus on good outcomes for Indigenous students and we acknowledge and respect their identity in many ways – including a school-wide connection with the Yugambeh language.
