Mitchelton School has an outstanding 96-year historical commitment to educating students which is expressed both in terms of academic outcomes and the development of life-long learners. In 2016, we will celebrate our 100 year anniversary bringing together staff, students, parents and community members who have contributed to the fabric of Mitchelton State School over the last century.

I trust that within these pages, you will discover the essence of a Mitchelton State School education and its capacity to provide your children with the best preparation for their future.

A commitment to developing lifelong learners is at the heart of our purpose at Mitchelton State School. Each child is encouraged and supported to discover and fulfil their unique potential within an academic program that aims to develop a broad knowledge base, higher order thinking skills and dispositions that promote intelligent behaviour.

Our academic curriculum is complemented by a broad educational offering of cultural, sporting, personal development and service programs which the students are encouraged to explore widely. These pursuits are considered an equally important element of their overall growth, learning and socialisation, in addition to contributing to the many happy and enjoyable store of school memories we hope they will gather during their time at Mitchelton. As educators and lifelong learners ourselves, we aspire to a learning culture that is never complacent. We constantly review and develop our programs, practices and facilities, seeking that optimal blend of tradition and innovation. 

Whilst you will find extensive information about Mitchelton State School’s offerings on our website, I encourage you to visit the School, whether it be on Open Day or on a personalised tour with a member of our administration staff, in order to fully appreciate the warmth and vibrancy of our learning community, and how we can best serve the educational needs of your children.
