Bardon State School is a vibrant school, a school that epitomises the community spirit of Bardon, a school which seeks to maximize each child's potential in a secure, supportive, challenging and family environment of 'Love, Laughter and Learning'. Whilst education has always played an important role in society, that role is even more important in today's ever-changing world. Schools today need to develop in children an ever increasing range of skills, attitudes and knowledge base that will encourage them to be lifelong learners. Bardon State School has, since 1948, established itself as a leader and innovator in the educational arena; a tradition we are proud of and continue to build upon. As a small school (enrolment 240), we offer a pastoral and secure atmosphere for our students. Our grounds and facilities include a library, two multi-purpose courts, a sports oval, purpose built playgrounds for P to 3 and 4 to 7, tuckshop and open air stage with under-covered area. Our distinct extracurricular offerings include an instrumental music program, several school choirs, chess club and interschool sport, to name a few.
