Redland Bay State School has served the local community since 1881. Beginning as a small school servicing a rural community, we have grown to an enrolment of about 930 students due to recent suburban development creating a new housing area. Our community maintains its local identity and we strive, through implementing local-area studies, maintaining community links. Chaplaincy, developing our grounds and school values help to maintain the 'country school' ethos. Our active Parents and Citizens Association. employs a Community Liaison Officer to foster parental involvement. We offer Prep to Year 7 classes, and implement the QSA's Essential Learnings and Standards. Our priorities are English and Mathematics, and we use an Integrated Studies approach to most other Key Learning Areas. Specialist teachers implement Music, Physical Education, and LOTE (German) programs. We encourage able learners (Gifted Education), and we provide Learning Support and Special Education programs. Instrumental music, strings programs, and extra-curricular activities including keyboard, chess, science club, skipping, choir, guitar, ukulele, environmental club, drama, dance and an AFL club are options available for our students.
