Peachester State School is a small (134 students) rural school in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. Most students are of an English speaking background. Employment in the community is varied and includes management, professional, government, education, farming and trades. Peachester State School provides a safe, supportive, stimulating environment where staff, parents and community members work to provide quality education for our students. There is a very strong environmental awareness in both the school and the community. The core values of our school are courtesy, consideration, competence, co-operation, community and citizenship, tolerance of difference, social and emotional wellbeing, communication and a positive school image. Some of our unique features are: daily reading, with parents and community members involved in a one-on-one reading programme with the early years students; Environmental Club which supplies fresh salad ingredients to our tuckshop and encourages active reduction and recycling of waste with students.
