I welcome you to a school where your child will Belong.

Helensvale State School prides itself on being a place where every child will feel included, connected and have a strong sense of belonging.

As your child journeys through the school, they will be immersed in a wide range of learning experiences that will expose them to the wonders of the world, as well as helping them find their true passions and interests.


Our 4 Academies provide avenues for children to explore their identity and find their tribe – children that have the same interests and passion as them.  With this, comes a sense of safety, belonging and connection that is authentic.  Whether it be in the academic, sporting, artistic or philanthropic realms, every child will be given the opportunity to find their voice and have choices in their pathways. 

We believe our core values – Belonging, Resilience, Identity, Deed of Service, Gratitude and Engagement – develop our young learners into well rounded, respectful and mindful individuals that are equipped with the attitudes and beliefs that will enable them to adapt and flourish in an uncertain future.

Our teaching staff are highly trained professionals who go above and beyond to ​ensure every child gets the best possible chance to succeed. We are committed to ensuring that your child leaves us after a 7 year journey equipped with high level Literacy and Numeracy skills, as well as being highly motivated, self-regulated learners who are in charge of their learning and know how they learn best.

We believe that your child's future is determined by what they do everyday.  We look forward to meeting your family and welcoming you into the Helensvale community.


Our Vision:  Empowered Learners , Healthy Humans.
