Welcome to Manly State School
Nestled in the beautiful Bayside on Brisbane's Southside, Manly State School combines a proud tradition with modern educational approaches to create a nurturing and dynamic learning environment. Our focus is on developing strong foundational skills while supporting each child to reach their individual potential.
At the heart of our school are the values of Respect, Resilience, and Perseverance. These guide the way our students learn, play, and grow:
- Respect for ourselves, others, and property
- Perseverance in our work
- Resilience in our lives
These values are woven into daily school life—in the classroom, in the playground, and within the wider community.
Manly State School is known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere, where children feel safe and supported during their formative years. Our strong learning support program ensures that every child has access to the help they need, while our extensive extracurricular opportunities encourage students to explore their interests and passions. With a proud tradition in both sport and music, we offer rich experiences beyond the classroom.
We also recognise the importance of preparing students for a rapidly changing world. Through a robust technology infrastructure and innovative teaching practices, we equip our students with the skills to navigate the future with confidence.
On behalf of the entire Manly State School community, we welcome you and your family, and we look forward to sharing this exciting journey of learning and growth.
Warm Regards,
Ari Anna Cansdell
Acting Principal
