Education QLDÂ introduces Peakhurst South Public School in Peakhurst Heights, for all your education and learning needs.
At Peakhurst South Public School we are committed to providing an inclusive and caring learning environment, focussed on continual improvement in student outcomes through quality teaching and learning programs. Our students are encouraged to reach their full potential in all aspects of school life. Our school's core priorities are literacy, numeracy, student welfare and technology, ensuring that this is a strong foundation on which to build all other learning. Our school has an excellent reputation for our band program as well as our strong achievements in academics, sport and the performing arts. Our highly regarded kindergarten transition program ensures that our children - and parents - make a smooth and enjoyable transition from pre-school and home to kindergarten. Our outstanding learning programs ensure that kindergarten is a successful first year at school, providing our students with the skills, knowledge and understanding to succeed in all areas of learning, especially the foundational areas of literacy and numeracy. The core beliefs of our school are that: our students are the focus of our school; our staff provides guidance and support for our students and parents; the curriculum details the activities that our school provides for our students; and the parents and community members are our valued partners. The core values of our school are honesty, fairness, friendliness, self-confidence, co-operation, caring, forgiveness, consideration, respecting rules, courtesy, trustworthiness and tolerance. Our school rules are based on the fundamental rights of each person - children and adults - that are part of our school community. Our caring and professional staff is supported by an involved parent community that includes an active P&C Association and a strong School Council. Working together, we are dedicated to providing a safe learning environment, with quality resources, services and facilities, for all our students. Our facilities include a new hall, covered outdoor learning areas, a new synthetic multi-purpose sport court under a shade shelter, two computer laboratories, interactive whiteboards in every classroom, and a well resourced library. Our school also has an onsite care centre providing before and after school care as well as vacation care. Our school has pleasant grounds boasting large grass play areas and native bushland, located on a quiet, suburban peninsular with buses at the door.
