Drayton State School, on the southern outskirts of Toowoomba, caters for Prep to Year 7 with approximately 310 students and 13 classroom teachers. The school operates on an organisational structure which involves students, teachers and parents working together to achieve the educational goals articulated in our School Annual Operational Plan. We are proud of our school's history in being the second oldest school in Queensland, and communicate this through many of our programs and events whilst also delivering a contemporary curriculum that reflects the needs and aspirations of the current student population. At Drayton State School we are determined to work in partnership to create a culture of high expectations. Our school prides itself on its practices of implementing inclusive education. The increasing diversity of our student population and growth in the Special Education Program demands that we remain focussed on this agenda. Policies practices and decision making will continue to be guided by the principles of equity and excellence and the development of responsible behaviour in our students. Staff professional development in catering for our diversity remains a high priority.
