On behalf of our staff, students, and families, I warmly welcome you to Palm Beach State School – a place where every child belongs and thrives.
Nestled just 200 metres from the sparkling beach, our school – often called “the best-kept secret on the Gold Coast” – is home to over 900 students. Here at Palm Beach State School, we live by our motto: “Every child succeeding.”
Our dedicated and passionate staff are relentless in their commitment to excellence in teaching and learning. With a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, we ensure every child builds the foundational skills they need to succeed. We tailor learning to meet the needs of each individual, nurturing not only academic growth but also social and emotional wellbeing.
Beyond the classroom, our students enjoy a rich and diverse curriculum. From dance clubs, choir, and instrumental music to a variety of sports – including our renowned surfing program – every child has the opportunity to discover their talents and pursue their passions. Our classrooms are fully equipped with modern technology, ensuring our students are ready to embrace the challenges of the 21st century.
At Palm Beach State School, we believe that strong partnerships with families and the wider community are essential for student success. Our vibrant Parents and Citizens Association is an active and welcoming part of school life, and we encourage all families to get involved and help shape the future of our school.
We are proud to be a school where every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to learn. I invite you and your family to become part of our Palm Beach Family and experience the warmth and spirit that make our school so special.
