As Principal of Belgian Gardens State School I am privileged to lead a school community devotedly dedicated to the development of the 'whole child'. Our skilled staff understand that social emotional development comes first, and that creating a relationship with our students is paramount for successful learning to occur.
Belgian Gardens State School's unique offerings foster an inherent focus on inquiry, where students are encouraged to be curious and explore their local surrounds in a safe and inclusive environment.
Proximity to the Townsville CBD allows us the ability to enhance our academic offerings, arts programs and sporting pathways for our students. The Jezzine Barracks, Reef HQ, James Cook University, The Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and Australian Institute of Marine Science all combine to create a curriculum full of hands on, real world approaches to learning.
From Playgroup to Year 6, we pride ourselves on our ability to prepare our students for the world of tomorrow today. Creating intentional opportunities for students to be creative, effective communicators, collaborators and critical thinkers. When students graduate, they leave BGSS as confident, motivated, resilient, entrepreneurial global citizens.
