About Granville State School
Granville State School is a school which has forged a reputation for excellence that goes well beyond the academic results of our students. Whilst our enviable academic record is fostered and celebrated, our school takes equal pride in focusing on the well-being and development of the 'whole' child.
Just as a young child starting to walk must learn the importance of balance, so too must our students as they take their first steps towards independence. We have a proud heritage of nurturing independent thinkers and strive to foster each student within the school's community, while upholding the strong values of community engagement, quality education, respect, honesty and integrity, and effort are hallmarks by which our school's vision is enacted - Building our future, moving forward together.
Students at Granville State School are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning and behaviour. A strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy, taught through progressive and challenging learning programs, ensures all students have opportunities to do well.
