East Ayr State School has been serving the educational needs of Prep and Primary students in the Burdekin since 1952. Our curriculum follows the Key Learning Areas set down by Education Queensland for students from Prep to Year 7. We are an enrolment managed school where students in the local catchment are given preference when enrolling. East Ayr students are involved in the ANZAC Day March/Ceremony, Junior Eisteddfod, the local Water Festival, various school-based competitions and a wide variety of Interschool Sports. Our school students participate in the annual National Literacy and Numeracy Tests. Our performance in these tests is available on the school website. Students can be involved in the school's Instrumental Music or Enviro Club as part of the school's extracurricular activities. East Ayr has a School Chaplain who works as part of our Supportive School Environment Team. Students are involved in the 'Sensible Choices' and 'Rock and Water' programs as part of the school's Responsible Behaviour Plan. We also have the services of a Guidance Officer, Support Teacher, Special Education Program Teachers, Literacy Coach and a Behaviour Management Support Teacher.
