Stafford Heights State School is a co-educational state primary school situated in a peaceful location off the main road. We were 53 years old in 2009. Stafford Heights is characterised by students of great diversity and encompasses a broad range of ethnic and cultural heritages including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and students from Asian and North African countries. We aim to set realistic goals and expectations for our students within a school culture that values Education through everyone striving to do the very best they possibly can to achieve success in all endeavours. This philosophy reflects a school culture that promotes teaching of skills which lead to the growth and development of self-sufficient, resilient learners by nurturing and coaching the notion of self-belief, consistent effort and persistence. Teachers and children value Learning, Respect and Safety in order to achieve these goals and become active citizens who make meaningful contributions to society. Our school provides an enriching sporting and cultural program where students are encouraged to achieve excellence in all areas.
