Overlooking Moreton Bay,
Ormiston State School was established in 1872 and is situated in Redland City,
approximately 30 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD. Now a proud Independent Public
School, Ormiston State School has grown from being a small country school
serving the rural Ormiston district to the present day where it caters for approximately
600 students from Prep to Year 6.
The school motto, Learn
As We Grow, encourages every member of our school community to 'be an active
learner who continues to learn' throughout their years at our school.
Ormiston State School is
a community focused on continual improvement and best practice learning
opportunities for students, staff and wider school community.
This motto is promoted
daily throughout the school through:
· Quality Curriculum,
Pedagogy and Learning Environment;
· Motivating students to
become active and responsible partners in their own learning; and
· Ensuring that teaching
and learning opportunities are challenging, cumulative, purposeful and fun.
Whole School and extracurricular
programs are focused on developing the whole child (Academic, Social/Emotional,
Behavioural and Community Citizen).
Our
school vision is to
enact a school wide professional learning community focused on continual improvement
and best practice learning opportunities for students, staff and the wider
school community.
Inspirational and Optimistic, this vision, along with the
Ormiston State School motto, “Learn as we Grow”, embraces the high expectations
for the success of all students and staff at our school. Ormiston State School
builds on a proud tradition and ensures a commitment to, and a belief in, each
and every student and their learning. Our school is one of the oldest primary
schools in the Redlands, but is very “futures” oriented. Students are supported
and challenged to reach their full potential and achieve at or above National
standards. Staff are skilled educators with expert knowledge who continually
engage in professional learning, reflection and sharing. Data is used to drive decision
making at whole school, class and student levels. Our highly regarded, dynamic
