Finch Hatton State School is a small school located 76 kilometres west of Mackay in the Pioneer Valley. The small school setting gives teachers the opportunity to provide students in Prep to Year 7 with excellent multi-age learning experiences. Our school is part of the Pioneer Valley Cluster Special Needs Unit, which supports us to provide an inclusive school environment for all students. Our curriculum offers authentic learning experiences across all eight key learning areas. We have a strong focus on literacy and numeracy with successful programs running within the school. Visiting specialists deliver our Languages Other Than English, Physical Education and our specialised Arts Program that covers music, media, drama, visual arts and dance. At Finch Hatton we have a unique woodworking program, Nailing Our Future, for Year 5,6 and 7 students. This woodworking program delivers essential literacy and numeracy skills in a practical setting. Finch Hatton School is an integral part of our small township with strong parent and community partnerships. Our dedicated team provides excellent support and opportunities for students and continue to encompass our school motto 'Strive to Succeed'.
