Founded in 1982, Birkdale South State School was established through the dedication and vision of local families who advocated for a school at the heart of the growing Birkdale community. Today, we continue that legacy by providing a high-quality education where every child is supported to belong, grow and achieve.
Our school motto, "Achievement through effort," reflects our belief that success comes through perseverance, resilience and a commitment to learning. We encourage every student to strive for personal excellence and take pride in their growth and achievements.
Our school emblem represents three enduring elements of a quality education:
- Work; a commitment to learning, growth and achievement.
-
Respect; creating a safe, inclusive and supportive environment for all.
-
Play; recognising the importance of social connection, creativity and physical wellbeing.
At Birkdale South State School, we combine strong academic foundations with opportunities in STEM, the Arts, Technology, Sport, Languages and Leadership. Guided by our CARE Bee-Leafs; community of kindness, appreciation, respect, resilience and effort, we are proud to be a school where students are empowered to become confident, capable and compassionate learners.
Belong. Grow. Achieve.
