About Avoca State School
Avoca State School is a member of the West Bundaberg Cluster of schools serving families from the nearby Avoca, Millbank, Branyan and rural/residential areas. Historically, our population has consistently been between 300 – 400 students. This has great advantages for the students and families of Avoca State School because it makes us a large enough school to have many of the facilities and human resources of a large school but at the same time, to be small enough to be intimate and to maintain a personal approach.
Avoca State School is committed to understanding your child, using systemic and school based data to benchmark achievement and subsequently mustering high quality programs to support and/or extend your child's learning. We strive to make our school a need-satisfying place for all that learn and work here.
