Earnshaw State College is a proud co-educational Independent Public School which caters for students from Prep to Year 12. The College opened in 2003, as an amalgamation of Nudgee State School and Banyo State High School.
The College boasts a distinctive sub school structure which fosters the education of this broad age range of students. Our grounds are spacious, with purpose-built facilities and specialised areas for each phase of learning: prep, primary and secondary. The sub school structure enhances the positive aspects of a small school while increasing access to the extensive facilities and resource efficiencies of a larger school. The P-12 structure of our College also enriches the family environment of our College in which our older students take pride in being the role models and caring for the younger children.
At Earnshaw we are very conscious of the responsibility we have for educating our students through their entire primary and secondary education and we value the opportunities it allows. We are committed to help our students to reach their potential at each phase of schooling and make a successful transition to work or further study. Our College offers Academy programs that add value to the richness and diversity of our curriculu
m and provide students to develop their talents in area of interest. Our staff are our greatest asset and we set high expectations for ourselves as educators and work hard to achieve them.
Earnshaw State College enjoys close community connections, and we foster a sense of belonging across the College, with the belief that we have a shared responsibility for every student from Prep to Year 12. We believe that education is a partnership
between the home and the school, and we greatly value parent involvement as fully as time and commitments allow. Our parent community is very supportive of our endeavours to provide the very best educational experience possible for our students, in a safe, secure and happy environment.
