About us:

The aim of our school is to ensure that every student is challenged to achieve their potential. In an ever changing world, our students need to develop skills, knowledge, attitudes, values and resilience to succeed on their lifelong learning journey.

Bardon State School is a small school set in expansive, green and leafy grounds, with a strong record of outstanding academic outcomes. Our size fosters strong connections between students, staff and families, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where every student is known and valued.

Our whole school community is committed to “Learning and Growing' and supports this through a rich curriculum, a collaborative and dedicated staff, and a focus on learners and learning beyond the set curriculum. We provide opportunities for all as we strive to develop curious and confident learners.
