Gumdale State School

This school is wonderful! With my other child in private school, I truly cannot see a difference in growth, opportunity or development in regards to their education. The reception administration staff are kind and caring and as the first point of call in a school, that speaks volumes. I swear they know every child's name that goes into the office! Well done GSS!

Appallingly regimented school - children's mental health is not a concern here, actually the opposite - complete disregard. Focussed on discipline and bullying rather than fun and education. Have withdrawn my daughters. If your child does attend this school please honestly check-in and ask if they are doing okay.

When we moved to Australia, we were recommended to move to a specific suburb in Brisbane as it was well know for the quality of its school, so we followed the recommendations, moved there and enrolled our children in the local school. However, after few years we moved to Wakerley/Gumdale and so we changed our kids to GSS. I cannot tell you enough how happy we are with the change!!! GSS offer our children not only excellent academic education, but also show genuine care by helping them to build resilience, confidence and helping them to explore their strengths and preferences with a variety of extracurricular programs. Thanks GSS😊

My child is only in prep at Gumdale but I can already see and appreciate the high quality of the teaching staff given how far my child has come, even with the COVID disruptions, since the start of the year. The leadership team are actively involved in the school community - very visible and constantly engaging with the students. Their focus on student wellbeing is also clear; providing loads of resources for parents. They have gone above and beyond for us, with lots of small gestures and rewards that have motivated my child and made him feel special, and part of something bigger.
