Kuraby State School has forged a reputation for excellence over 95 years that goes well beyond the academic results of our students. Whilst our enviable academic record is fostered and celebrated, our school takes equal pride in focusing on the well-being and development of the 'whole' child.
Just as a young child starting to walk must learn the importance of balance, so too must all our students as they take their first steps towards independence. Providing that balance is essential and means placing equal emphasis on each student's academic, cultural and social development.
Kuraby State School strives to provide an environment where students are valued as individuals, where they are inspired to learn and where they develop a spirit of service, both to each other and to the wider community.Kuraby State School has an enrolment of approximately 370 students, with cultural backgrounds of over 50 countries are represented. Our students are engaged in learning and playing in a happy and harmonious manner, supporting each other in the challenges and joys presented to them.
We have a proud reputation of nurturing independent thinkers and strive to support each student to reach their potential, while ensuring the essential skills of organisation, getting along, resilience, persistence and confidence are developed.

- Advocate, provide counselling, psychoeducational assessment and individual student support, recommendations and advice to students, teachers and parents concerning educational, behavioural, mental health and family issues.
