Chatsworth State School is situated on the Bruce Highway, 5 kilometres north of Gympie in South East Queensland. The school itself is perched on top of a hill in the picturesque Chatsworth area with views that are outstanding. It is regarded as a 'city fringe' school, which services fourteen different local communities ranging from semi-urban to rural in nature. The school has a very active Parents and Citizens Association with their major fundraising venture linked to the Gympie Country Music Muster. Chatsworth State School caters for Prep through to Year Seven. We work very hard on developing a team approach with all parties involved with the children. It is our belief that unless the children have the social development aspect of their lives in hand then it is difficult to focus on their own learning. The school offers the eight Key Learning Areas with a significant focus on literacy, through the Chatsworth Integrated Language Arts Program, numeracy and social development. Chatsworth has access to a range of specialist services provided by visiting teachers, including physical education, music and instrumental music, German and computer technology.
