Eight Mile Plains State School provides opportunities for students to achieve and reach their potential. Beginning with a strong play-based program in Prep, our learning experiences support and scaffold children's learning and development providing foundations for life-long learning and the pursuit of excellence. We focus on the curriculum areas of literacy and numeracy embedding children's learning in experiences which enhance their understandings in Science, The Arts and Studies of Society and the Environment. We integrate information and communication technology into all aspects of student learning. Our multi-age groupings and philosophy enable us to differentiate the curriculum. Our core business is to improve student learning outcomes for every student in our school. Eight Mile Plains State school is a learning community where success and improvement is encouraged, created, noticed and acknowledged in all areas. This includes academic improvements, social development, musical achievement and excellence and participation in sport and leadership. Through an extensive range of school programs the students have a sense of pride in themselves, their achievements, their school and each other. We believe success breeds success.
