As principal of Burketown State School I am extremely proud of how our students, staff and community work collaboratively to provide a safe and caring learning environment built around high behavioural and learning expectations. It is our goal to provide students with the skills and knowledge to be able to succeed in a rapidly changing future.
We offer a broad academic program with a strong emphasis on English, mathematics and science. Our school has a proud history of supporting students with a range of needs and abilities to ensure their future success.
At Burketown SS we have three core values that students can take with them into their adult lives:
- Achieving your best - Effort = Results
- Being respectful and responsible
- Caring and confidence
