Our shared vision is that every student in Queensland state schools succeeds and receives
the support they need to belong to the school community, engages purposefully in learning
and experiences academic success (Every Student Succeeding – State Schools Strategy
2018-2022).
The Department of Education’s Inclusive Education Policy supports our shared vision and
the right for students of all social, cultural, community and family backgrounds, and of all
identities, and all abilities to receive high quality education.
Our commitment

Our commitment means that children and young people across Queensland, from all social, cultural, community and family backgrounds, and of all identities and all abilities are able to:
attend their local state school or education centre and be welcomed.
access and participate in a high-quality education and fully engage in the curriculum along-side their similar-aged peers.
learn in a safe and supportive environment, free from bullying, discrimination or harassment.
achieve academically and socially with reasonable adjustments and supports tailored to meet their learning needs.
What we mean by inclusive education
All students benefit, academically and socially, when provided with a high quality
inclusive education.
Inclusion
Gifted and
talented
students
Students experience inclusive education when they can access and fully
participate in learning, alongside their similar-aged peers, supported by
reasonable adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet their
individual needs. Inclusion is embedded in all aspects of school life, and
is supported by culture, policies and every day practices.
