Since its establishment in 1975, Palm Beach State School has always placed an emphasis on putting students first and maximising student learning potential. We focus on academic and sporting excellence, leadership and values development. In partnership with parents and the wider community, Palm Beach State School strives to provide students with access to a high quality education that equips them with the knowledge, skills and attributes necessary for the future and enables them to participate in and contribute to a culturally, socially and economically vibrant society. Success at school is very empowering for our students as it sets a foundation from which they can truly aim 'To Learn, then to Serve'. Palm Beach State School is a coeducational state government primary school with an enrolment of about 520 students from Prep to Year 7. Palm Beach State School has used a multi-age organization for over a decade. This has evolved into a non-graded system, based on 4 stages of learning development: Early Junior (P-1), Junior (Yr 1-3), Intermediate (Yr 3-5) and Senior (Yr 5-7). Staging allows the school to group students according to their learning needs and development on an individual basis rather than the traditional method of age as the major determining factor for grouping. Staging is all about fitting the curriculum to the needs of the students rather than students to fit a curriculum. Palm Beach State School provides a quality teaching and learning program across the eight key learning areas for all students in Prep-Year 7. The P&C Association continues to make valuable contributions to our school through the operation of the Tuckshop, Uniform Shop, Recycle Shop, Outside School Hours Childcare, Student Resource Scheme, facilities development and raising funds for many school improvements. Most importantly, they contribute quality to the school decision making process.
