Emerald State School celebrates 131 years of education this year. We provide innovative and inclusive education for children from Prep to Year 7 and strive for the success of every student. Our curriculum embeds the Essential Learnings within meaningful and challenging units of study, designed to accommodate and extend student learning styles and abilities. Our school provides opportunities for children to develop their talents in the arts through junior and senior choir, instrumental music program and Eisteddfod participation (choirs, band, verse speaking and folk groups). In 2009, members of our senior choir performed at the Creative Generations State Schools Onstage in Brisbane. Our school has very proud sporting representation through local, regional and state-wide competitions. Students' social and emotional skills and well-being are fostered through our supportive Social and Emotional Learning program. Emerald State School has a very active and supportive school community which is integral to the opportunities available to, and success of, our students.
