Greenbank State School was established in 1893 and provides education from Prep to Year 7 to an enrolment of over 1,000 children. Students are engaged in curriculum which covers the eight Key Learning Areas with particular focus on Literacy, Numeracy, Science, Integrated Studies and Environmental Education, the latter a key vehicle to the school's applied learning approach. At Greenbank State School we unlock the promise in individuals through engaging students in forms of deep learning that develop in them the knowledge, values and skills to move with others through their own sustainability transition, develop a strong sense of place and act with compassion, responsibility and creativity in the world. This vision is embedded in our school wide pedagogy and our curriculum model. The school community works in harmonious and respectful relationships and students demonstrate a positive attitude to learning. Our school is characterised by a strong sense of commitment and allegiance to a school culture focused on high expectations. These expectations are underpinned by a clearly defined set of values and beliefs embodied in the school's vision, 'Creating a World of Difference - The Greenbank Way'.
