Job details

About Mackay North State School

Mackay North State School was opened with enrolments of 68 students on 23rd March 1915. The school experienced a period of growth as the North Mackay area grew but, as further schools opened, the population has moved away, leaving a smaller community. Currently the school caters for Prep to Year 6  as well as a Special Education Program and has had an enrolment of just under 350 children for many years now.

Mackay North State School prides itself on the quality education that is offered through our strong academic focus. While we offer students a full range of learning experiences we don't deviate from the fact that our number one priority is student academic growth and improvement. All children are encouraged to do their very best in all academic pursuits. Teachers set high expectations for students and willingly assist them to meet these expectations.
