Mission Beach State School has been proudly serving the community of Mission Beach since 1954. At our school we strive to develop social, emotional, physical and academic attributes in all students while fostering strong community spirit. Experienced teachers develop our Prep to Year 7 curriculum offering, based on the Essential Learnings of the Key Learning Areas, including Indonesian. This is further enhanced by Gifted and Talented strategies, Early Intervention strategies and Learning and Special Needs Support. We maintain a clear focus on explicit Numeracy and Literacy teaching. Literacy and Numeracy remains an important element in all other KLA's as well. Our school is active in the community participating in Anzac Day, eisteddfod competitions,working with local art and drama groups and local sporting competitions. The value of the parental role in education is well recognised at Mission Beach. Parents are encouraged to become actively involved in the school, with our Parents and Citizens Association providing the advice and additional resources critical to our success. Parent volunteers in classrooms and other school activities provide an invaluable school/home link.
