Gladstone Central State School was established in 1861 as the first school in Gladstone. Our school now occupies a central position in the city, close to the central business district.
Our school services a wide community comprising the city area, inner residential suburbs and the wider community. 42% of our current enrolments are drawn from outside our school catchment area. The relatively small student population in comparison to other local schools is often cited by parents as a reason for choosing to enrol their child at our school.
Our physical location in the city provides our students with easy access to a variety of community resources and extra curricula activities for our students.
The population is a heterogeneous mix in terms of combined family income and education. The nature of the employment cycles in Gladstone as a major port and industrial centre means that at our school there is a core group of long term residents mixed with significant levels of itinerants.
Our school has an active parent group who assist in the strategic direction setting for our school and as parent volunteers in our classrooms. Our school community, as individuals and as a group, supports and encourages the adoption of the values and beliefs of our school.
