Welcome to Griffin State School.

At Griffin we know that we have the privilege and awesome responsibility of igniting the love of learning each and every day of a parent's most treasured possession- their child. Together, we have created a community within our school where learners' feel safe and supported throughout their educational journey.

Since opening in 2016, our school has grown from 246 learners, to over 1060 with numbers expected to continue to grow due to ongoing development in the Griffin area The addition of more classrooms and learning centres since our foundation year has added to our existing first rate facilities. Learners at Griffin are privileged to be educated in modern facilities with up to date technology, purposely designed to cater for each cohort at their developmental age; ensuring they have what they need to be successful 21st Century learners.  


We believe in an inquiry approach to learning and aim to foster our learners' curiosity so that they leave our school more curious about the world than when they arrived. We believe that each child can and will learn, given the right time and support and that the continued progress of each child is a shared responsibility in a genuine partnership with all members of our school community.

Here at Griffin there are three key values we live by:

Humanity
Integrity
Grit

Humanity and Integrity remind us that schools are a work of not just the mind, but also the heart. Grit reminds us every day that success is a result of commitment and determination, often with challenge. It is our hope that the learners at Griffin will take these values with them through life, shaping them into thoughtful, compassionate and determined young people.

As a community we welcome the input of parents, carers and families, and hope that you will immerse yourselves in the culture that we have created whether that be through joining our amazing P&C, stopping by for a Coffee at Monty's in the morning, or attending the many school functions our school hosts to show off the incredible talent of our young learners.

As principal my approach is highly personal and interactive. Knowing the learners, their families and the staff and building highly effective teams that work collaboratively to ensure each child is given every opportunity to succeed, is at the heart of my work.

Thank you for your interest in our school. We look forward to welcoming you into the Griffin family.

Vicki Baker
