Bardon SS - Bardon State School
Welcome from the Principal
On behalf of the school community of Bardon State School, I’d like to welcome you as a valued member to our supportive and active school community.
The aim of our school is to ensure every individual student is challenged to achieve his/her educational potential. In an ever changing world our students need to develop the skills, knowledge base, attitudes, values and resilience to succeed in a lifestyle of their choice.
Our whole school community is committed to lifelong learning and supports this through a rich curriculum that provides opportunity to all individuals.
Our school was established in 1948 and has established itself as a highly effective and high performing school that develops the whole child. We are a proud and enthusiastic school community that continually strives for improvement in a supportive family like environment.
At Bardon State School we are known for:
- Research based teaching practices that cater for all individual learning styles
- An experienced, enthusiastic and well balanced staff that work towards common goals.
- A parent population that is heavily individual and supportive of school programs and initiatives.
- Academic results that are consistently above” like schools” and incline or above whole national standards in both literacy and numeracy.
- A strong commitment and focus on technology in learning and everyday living.
- Offering a curriculum delivered through differentiation in the classroom and multi-age settings.
- Development of the BARDON YOUNG WRITERS WORKSHOP for aspiring young writers which supports clusters of schools throughout the Brisbane area
- A strong commitment to our LOTE program involving strong school community links with a sister school in Japan.
