On behalf of the Belgian Gardens Community, I would like to welcome you to our school. Belgian Gardens State School is one of Townsville's oldest schools having opened in 1887. Over the years the school has developed a very positive reputation within the community based on high academic standards and a caring, nurturing environment. Because of our strong reputation we attract many, very skilled teachers who stay longer than the average tenure thus ensuring more of a family atmosphere. Our beautiful grounds tucked away off the main roads and nestled at the base of Castle Hill, provide a tranquil, harmonious environment for students and staff. The school has a strong reputation for environmentally friendly practices and encourages the children to adopt similar practices. At Belgian Gardens State School we place great importance on "old fashioned values" such as courtesy, good manners, hard work and honesty. We strongly believe that education is a partnership between home and school and provide numerous opportunities for family members to become involved in many aspects of their child's education. Our music programme is one of Townsville's best and gives us great pride. The children have many opportunities to be come involved in instrumental, choral and dance programs. We hope your time with us will be productive and positive. Yours sincerely, Glenn Dickson Principal Dip Ed: B. Ed: JP (Qualified)
