Established in 1872, Ormiston State School is situated in Redland City in close proximity to Moreton Bay approximately 30 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD. Over the past 132 years, Ormiston State School has grown from being a small country school serving the rural Ormiston district to the present day where it caters for students from Prep to Year 7. The school motto, Learn As We Grow, encourages each member of our school community to 'be active learners who continue to learn through the years of growth in our school'. This motto is promoted daily in our classrooms through the delivery of quality curriculum programs; by motivating students to become active and responsible partners in their own learning; and by ensuring that teaching and learning activities are challenging, cumulative, purposeful and fun. Students who participate in extra curricular Music activities such as choir, recorder playing and Band are provided with performance opportunities at local venues and via competitions. Students in Years 5 - 7 participate in District sport and interschool sporting carnivals.
