Values
At Logan Village State School we believe that:
- our best today can be improved upon tomorrow

Beliefs
In accordance with the purpose of Logan Village State School, we believe:
-
schooling is a socialising experience and should provide children with a wide variety of social contexts in which they learn to respond, appropriately and effectively
- recognising the individuality of each child and giving attention to the individual needs, interests and abilities of pupils is an affirmation by teachers of a belief in the intrinsic worth of each individual
- encouraging all members of the school community to realise their full potential both within and outside the school
- effective learning depends on children having a positive self-concept which is developed in a caring, supportive environment where their efforts are valued and their attempts to extend themselves through risk taking are encouraged
- children learn developmentally and experientially and access different learning styles which require teachers to utilise a variety of teaching strategies
- the role of professional staff is to facilitate learning in a stimulating, supportive environment in which the child is viewed as an active participant in the teaching-learning process.
- communication among all members of our school community should be open and effective
- education is a partnership between home and school.
As a progressive school we should be aware of the findings of recent educational research, and respond to these after critical examination.
