Welcome to Bracken Ridge State School.
I feel very privileged to be the Principal of this wonderful school. We have a very warm staff who love coming to work everyday to support our young people and who are both passionate and dedicated to doing whatever it takes to support all students to achieve success academically while fostering their social and emotional needs. This dedication and focus ensures our motto of “Learning together, learning for life" is a foundation for all that we do.
At Bracken Ridge we foster 3 core values in all that we do with our learners. At BRSS we do whatever it takes to challenge and teach all our students to act with integrity and be courageous, lifelong learners. We use a range of evidence based approaches, including effective teaching strategies, neuroscience and mindfulness to support students to engage fully and be in their 'learning zone' in order to achieve academic success and growth while at our school.
We design learning experiences that build on learner strengths and create new knowledge using a range of teaching strategies. This ensures our students with diverse learning styles are supported and catered for, to grow their love of learning and their experience of success with learning.
