Students in years 3 & 5 at Peak Crossing State School have achieved success through diligence by obtaining excellent results in literacy and numeracy. Students have achieved above state and national results in all areas in year three and most in year five. School targets in the Upper Two Bands in Reading for both year three and five have been exceeded.
The school’s vision and school motto of 'Success through Diligence', is a reality due to the hard work of the staff who meticulously planned, implemented and taught for improved results. Peak Crossing State School implements strategies and approaches to differentiate in help support closing the gap where needed and to offer extension and programs of excellence.
