Enrolments now open for 2026 at Airville State School

If you’ve been thinking about a change for your child’s education, there’s no better time to discover the difference a small school can make.
At Airville State School, we believe that learning should feel like belonging — and every student should be known, supported, and celebrated for who they are.

A Fresh Start for Every Child

We welcome new enrolments in all year levels for 2026 — whether your child is starting Prep or looking for a fresh start after feeling lost in a larger setting.
Families often tell us that making the move to a smaller school was the best decision they ever made. With fewer students in each class, our teachers can truly get to know every child — their strengths, their challenges, and their passions.

If your child hasn’t been thriving where they are, Airville offers a nurturing environment where confidence grows and learning feels fun again.

The Best Start for Prep

Starting school is a big step, and we make sure our youngest learners get the best possible beginning.
Our Prep program is all about play, discovery, and confidence-building — with a strong focus on early literacy and numeracy, social skills, and hands-on learning.
Small group activities and one-on-one support mean every child gets exactly what they need to develop at their own pace, surrounded by familiar faces and caring adults.

One-on-One Learning

In a small school, no student slips through the cracks.
Every child at Airville has the opportunity to work one-on-one with a teacher or teacher aide at different points in their learning — whether that’s for reading, maths, or individual projects.
It’s this personal attention that helps our students make such strong academic and emotional progress throughout the year.

Opportunities That Grow in Small Places

Being a small school doesn’t mean missing out — in fact, it means more!
Airville students join with other Burdekin small schools throughout the year for sports days, creative workshops, camps, and shared learning events.
From swimming and gardening to music, art, and outdoor adventures, our students get a rich variety of experiences — all while feeling safe and supported in a close-knit environment.

Hear From Our Families

Parents often share how surprised they are by the confidence, independence, and joy their children find after joining Airville.
It’s not just about smaller numbers — it’s about bigger connections.
Our school community is like a family, where every student is encouraged to try new things, lend a helping hand, and take pride in who they are.
