**About Us**:
Griffin State School has been opened since 2016. We are a large primary school currently with 1222 learners and are continuing to grow. Our school vision is 'Anchored in Excellence' and throughout the intensive establishment phase in the latter half of 2015 I worked closely with the community to bring this vision to fruition and create a school that would be the pride of the emerging suburb of Griffin.
Students at Griffin are privileged to be educated in a modern facility ensuring they have what they need to be successful 21st Century learners. Our staff are our greatest asset and as a team we've set high expectations for ourselves as educators and we work with conviction to achieve them. Staff focus relentlessly on achieving the very best for every student through the adoption of personalised, innovative and proven teaching strategies.
