Nashville State School, 'Where children come first' is Brighton's best kept secret. Located on the Third Lagoon in North Brisbane's Bayside, we are a co-educational primary school offering programs from Prep to Year 7. Our caring and dedicated staff work with our families and community to offer our students learning opportunities which engage them intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally, optimising their participation while aiming for excellence. Our students engage in Philosophy lessons to help improve confidence levels, responsible behaviours, critical and creative thinking and problem solving skills. Teaching units are designed to utilise opportunities around the creation of a permaculture garden, growing and harvesting food and the preparation of the food to share 'from the garden to the table'. All Key Learning Areas are addressed with literacy and numeracy as a key focus, supported by higher order thinking skills. A high computer ratio means that our students can travel beyond the classroom on their learning journey to engage them and open their minds. Our school is well resourced and supported by a very active Parents and Citizens Association who help us to achieve our goals.
