About Prospect Creek State School

Prospect Creek State School operates currently as a three-teacher school with a focus on providing quality curriculum content in both the junior and upper primary schools. One of the key ways we achieve this goal is through the support and empowerment of our staff, parents, and the wider community. It is through these links with the community that we enjoy success in the programs we choose to run.

Our key values are best displayed in our school's mantra: At Prospect Creek State School, we believe that every day, every child is learning to their best of their abilities. This clearly reflects the attitude brought to the classroom by the staff, students, parents, and carers. Being a smaller school enables us to provide significant attention to the individual learning needs of all students and maintain high outcomes across all year levels.
