Our school was officially opened on its current site in 1969 and is situated on the northern coast of Queensland at Cannonvale, a suburb of Airlie Beach. We offer classes for students from Prep to Year 7. Our school community values learning, the development of positive relationships, safe behaviours and caring for property. Members of our school community work closely together to provide a learning environment which is safe and supportive and in which children are able to reach their potential. Staff have provided extensive academic, sporting and cultural opportunities for students, and the achievements of individual students are celebrated and shared by all. Our greatest strengths are our committed staff, dedicated parents and the support we receive from our local community. Cannonvale State School is a Reef Guardian school and our students are involved in programs which promote an awareness of environmental issues affecting the reef and our location. We have an instrumental music program and our school has both a concert and rock band.
