Welcome to McDonnell Creek State School and thank you for taking the time to do some research into our beautiful small school.  We trust that this website will assist you in getting to know how our school operates and gives you a glimpse into the 'way we do our business' at McDonnell Creek State School. 

While there are commonalities with all state schools, there are also attributes that set McDonnell Creek State School apart.  We are a small school located in the Far North  Queensland Region, approximately 35 minutes south of Cairns. We are situated on the Bruce Highway, surrounded by beautiful rainforest and farmland.

Our small school is a great option for schooling because your child will become a part of our family, where their individuality is fostered and guided.  We provide the same Australian Curriculum in line with every school in Australia and engage in extra- curricula activities such as gardening, cooking and sporting activities.

At McDonnell Creek State School, we ensure we engage with our local community to build our students knowledge of the local context. We also have a tight knit school community that allows our students to grow, learn and mature alongside their friends in an authentic, caring environment. Our supportive community coupled with our active and forward-thinking P&C provide our families with the comfort of a safe, happy and welcoming learning environment.

Most of our staff are long term residents of the area and our staff are strongly invested, forward focused, dedicated professionals who work hard to maintain their own learning and pedagogical currency. Our staff are committed to working with parents to build the strongest educational foundation for your child.

All students from Prep to Year 6 are welcome at McDonnell Creek State School. We support students who need learning extension and those who require additional support. At McDonnell Creek State School, we provide a quality multi-age curriculum, high staff to student ratio, that meets the needs of all students in a caring family atmosphere. 

We pride ourselves on hard work, achieving success and respecting the tradition of our community and school.​
