Our Mission
At Mount Gravatt High School, we believe that every students' success, is best achieved in an environment that supports student and teacher wellbeing and builds resilience. This provides an opportunity for Mount Gravatt High students to develop a growth mindset, be active citizens in their learning environments and develop mutual respect and connectedness to each other, the staff, the school and the wider community.
We acknowledge the diverse nature of our students and in doing so are committed to providing a safe, respectful, disciplined learning environment for all students and staff, where students feel socially and emotionally secure and have opportunities to engage and connect to quality learning experiences.
We continually reflect on how our school performs and seek to take learning and achievement of every child from “good" to “better" to assist every student to reach their learning goals and post school success regardless of their chosen pathway.
