Principles and objectives

State Schools of Tomorrow is committed to achieving the Department's long-term educational vision of choice and excellence in state education, local collaboration and sustainability.

It concentrates on groups of schools with shared enrolment boundaries that are in greatest need of major renewal, a new educational vision for the future and with the potential to boost the greatest number of student learning outcomes.

Schools taking part in State Schools of Tomorrow projects are selected through a comprehensive application process. It requires a group of neighbouring schools to demonstrate their high-level ability to address three guiding principles:

Enhancing Educational Opportunities
Delivering on Education Queensland's vision of a creative and clever Queensland through innovation and education reforms that ensure students gain the skills, knowledge and creativity to succeed in the future
Enhancing Sustainability
Identifying opportunities for increased environmental and economic sustainability in schools, and in current and future school planning processes
Enhancing Partnerships
Developing partnerships with community, business and industry to broaden education outcomes for students and maximise community use of school facilities

State Schools of Tomorrow takes place in stages, with Round 1 projects already under way. Schools will be notified through their Education Queensland Regional Office when applications open for participation in Round 2 projects.
