Leichhardt State School was opened in 1956 and has long served the communities of Leichhardt, One Mile, Wulkuraka and other suburbs. Recently we have seen some large scale community renewal with large-scale refurbishment of the former defence-force housing areas and with the development of a new housing estate on the old Ipswich Golf Course site across the road from the school. At Leichhardt State School we value teamwork. We believe the partnerships between staff, students, parents and the wider school community play an important role in maximizing the students learning outcomes. Success is our main aim, and we measure student success not only by test scores and grades but also by attitude, self esteem, and happiness.
