Eimeo Road State School is in a beautiful hillside setting in the rapidly growing Northern Beaches area, 15 kilometres from Mackay. Our student population draws from the surrounding beachside suburbs of Eimeo, Blacks Beach, Dolphin Heads and Rural View. Our vision is to improve social and academic outcomes for students through a whole-school focus on philosophical inquiry. The Philosophy program develops reasoning and inquiry skills that support and enrich literacy and numeracy learning. Literacy and numeracy are core priorities of the school, occurring every day, in every classroom and every year level. At Eimeo Road State School students are encouraged to wonder, imagine, question, puzzle and think, alone and with others. Students also learn English, mathematics, science, SOSE, the arts, music, health and physical education, library (information) skills, LOTE (Japanese for Years 6 and 7) and information and communication technology skills. Laptop classrooms are also offered for Years 6 and 7 students. This school community proudly celebrates the academic, cultural and sporting achievements of students. Distinctive curriculum and extracurricular offerings are detailed on our school website.
