For more than a century, our school has been an integral part of the East Brisbane community. Despite years of uncertainty, I am proud to share that we are here to stay. Our future is secure, and we look forward with confidence to continuing our long tradition of providing an exceptional education for every child.
East Brisbane State School is truly unique. Our location places us at the heart of the city, with the iconic Gabba right next door, where our students experience the rare privilege of holding sports days on one of the world’s most famous sporting grounds. We honour and respect our rich heritage while also preparing students for the future with innovative programs that nurture both academic and personal growth.
Our focus on Philosophy in Schools encourages students to think critically, explore ideas deeply, and develop respectful dialogue skills. In addition, our partnership with The Resilience Project supports the wellbeing of every learner, building empathy, gratitude, and mindfulness as lifelong habits that strengthen both individuals and community.
As a boutique school, East Brisbane State School offers the advantage of a close-knit, diverse, and connected community where every child is known, supported, and celebrated. We may be small in size, but we are rich in opportunity and committed to ensuring every student has the foundations to thrive now and into the future.
I warmly welcome you to discover the special character of East Brisbane State School — a school with a proud past, a unique present, and a bright future.
Warm regards,
Deb James
Principal
