Hercules Road State School, Kippa-Ring, QLD

School statement

Hercules Road State School was opened in 1976. Since then our school has grown to be one of the largest schools in the area, with a proud history of academic and sporting achievements. Our goal is to develop in all children a love of learning and positive self esteem, in a safe and nurturing environment, thus equipping them with the confidence to take risks in their learning. This combined with the knowledge that bullying and inappropriate behaviour will not only not be tolerated but actively targeted, establishes the conditions in which every child can fulfil their potential. We acknowledge that parents are a child's first teacher, and that together we can lay the foundations for academic, social and emotional success that facilitate life-long learning. Our drama, music, sporting and leadership programs are designed to educate the 'whole' person so that our students are offered a rounded and comprehensive education and are fully equipped to deal with the rigours and opportunities that abound in the real world. We believe that individually and collectively 'People Make the Difference' and are committed to the success of each and every student in our school. Visit the school website.
