Elanora State School has been proudly serving the community of Elanora since 1983. The school values a balanced approach to primary education where students strive for excellence in academic areas, sport, performing arts and cultural programs. Our 1165 students learn within the framework of the Queensland Essential Learnings identified in separate Key Learning Areas. Additional curriculum areas include Japanese (Languages Other Than English), Gifted and Talented programs, Early Intervention strategies and Learning and Special Needs Support. A full range of learning experiences are provided at Elanora with an explicit focus upon the foundations of English, Mathematics and Science. Located within the school grounds is an After Hours Care Facility. Our school is active within the community, participating in Anzac Day, Gold Coast Eisteddfod (instrumental music, dance and choir), interschool sport, Science, LOTE and other local and national competitions. Parents are welcome participants in the schooling program; the school hosts a strong volunteer program and is enriched by an active Parents and Citizens Association. Our school prides itself on having high expectations and quality teaching and learning across all learning areas. We live our motto 'Excellence and Honour' and place students first in all we do.
