About the Department of Education
The Department of Education is dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce that reflects the community and schools we support by treating everyone with respect and dignity. This starts with recruitment and selection. The methods of assessing suitability in the recruitment process may vary. This includes making reasonable adjustments to support applicants at all stages of the process and employee lifecycle.
About Indooroopilly State School
Indooroopilly State School is situated in the western suburbs of Brisbane and the majority of our students come from middle to high socio-economic families that are well educated and have high expectations for their children's learning and achievement. An exciting aspect of our school's character is the large number of students from other countries. Currently students with English as a second language attend our school from 50 different countries. These students and their families enhance our school environment in many ways and we pride ourselves on the multi-cultural nature of our school. The students at Indooroopilly State School are very capable, well behaved and enthusiastic learners.
Indooroopilly State School has a history that stretches back to 1889. Many staff, students, parents and other members of the school community have played a part in making that history - a small part of which is recorded here.
