The Summit State School recently celebrated it’s 100 year anniversary (belatedly).
Established in 1921, the Summit State School aims to provide high quality education to assist students to develop a love of learning and a sense of responsibility, and to understand the past and prepare to embrace the future.
It is an appealing, well-presented school, located 12 kilometers north of Stanthorpe, behind The Summit Bowls Club.
Our school features two multi-age classes supported by professional, qualified teachers.
Multi-age groupings enable children to work at their full capacity.
If necessary, a child may be integrated into a level that will build confidence and self-esteem which leads to improved performance.
Students receive additional support from our experienced teacher aides.
The school also offers extra-curricular activities such as Instrumental Music.
Integrated studies can involve a number of subject areas including Science, Technology, Social Science, Art, Music, Dance, Drama, Health & Physical Education and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs).
The Summit State School boasts the equal of any school with its outdoor facilities.
A multi – purpose supergrass court is in constant use by the children as is the playground. A mud kitchen and sensory play area are new additions to the school grounds, with children encouraged to utilise these to develop social, motor and co-ordination skills.
A wide range of sporting equipment is provided to allow development of ball handling and other associated skills, which enhance physical and academic progress.
A full sized sporting oval and smaller oval are maintained for student use.
The Summit State School is now accepting enrolments for 2023.
Our Pre-Prep Program will be held in Term 4 and runs over four weeks to help familiarise our future preps with our school, staff and fellow students. For more information or a tour please contact Will or Danni on 4683 2333.
