Marsden State School is focussed on supporting the individual needs of the learner. Our large primary school campus provides a wide range of general and specialist education services that provide our students with engaging units of study. We also provide a Special Education Program that caters for students with verified disabilities and special needs. Students take part in specialist lessons each year inclusive of Visual Arts, Science, Music, Health and Physical Education and Dance and Drama. A strong feature of our school curriculum is to engage students in challenging Mathematical and English investigations daily. Extra-curricular activities offered feature Visual and Performing Arts events, Sporting activities, Junior and Senior Games Rooms, Student Council Leadership opportunities, Gifted and Talented classes and Playground Buddy and Peer Mediation Programs. Students are able to expand their interests and skills in these areas as well as through the use of our stimulating Resource Centre. Our school also has a budding intraschool Radio Station called 'Radio Freak Marsden' that interested students can be involved in. Radio Freak Marsden is hosted by students and is broadcast during lunch times. It includes news and human interest stories, jokes, competitions and the latest hit music. Marsden State School produces a school musical every two years for students in Year 4 to 7. Past productions have been very successful, and have provided endless learning opportunities for those students involved, whether they are on the stage or behind the scenes. Most importantly, it teaches students how to work together and enjoy success as a team. During Interschool Sporting competitions, students in Year 6 and 7 not enrolled in a team are engaged in a cycle of activities over the semester that include Arts, Academic, Fitness and Sporting lessons. Our school also participates in many other sporting events throughout the year, including district and regional events, as well as number of local competitions in rugby league 7s,..
