Principal's welcome

Welcome to Cleveland State School.

For 148 years, our school has been an integral part of the local community, establishing itself as a well-respected, well-resourced school with a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who support and encourage learners to experience daily success.

When asked about our school, students tell me about relationships, connection and the quality of their teachers. Our consistent teaching approach, known as the 'Cleveland Way' encompasses not only the highest quality teaching strategies from Prep to Year 6, but how we go about 'wrapping around' students and families with our innovative wellbeing program.

Our school community love the friendly atmosphere of our school. We believe quality education is best achieved with a strong three-way partnership with students and their families, with all of us working together to ensure learning success.

I would be delighted to share our success with you.
