Mount Surprise State School is located in a remote community in far north Queensland. We provide a warm and friendly environment for students to learn and grow. Students from Kindy to Year 6 work alongside each other in our multi-level clasroom. In a town high on community spirit, we aim high academically and socially.
At Mount Surprise every student learns every day. We provide the Australian Curriculum and ensure all students access learning and content to their year level and in consideration of their needs and abilities. Underneath the strong academic focus lies a foundation of social emotional learning. Students are taught how to learn and are supported to develop lifelong learning skills. Lifeskills of success, persistence, confidence, relational skills and value of emotional intelligence are enhanced through high impact quality learning experiences.
