Bellevue Park State School caters for students from the Preparatory Year to Year 6. We have a student enrolment of approximately 680.

Based on the belief that all students can learn, the staff of Bellevue Park State School accepts the responsibility to teach all students, regardless of differences, the fundamental skills required for success in the 21st century.
We set high expectations for every student's progress and ambitious targets for improving classroom performances.
