🏫 Values Education at Port Curtis Road State School
At Port Curtis Road State School, our Values Education shapes who we are and how we “Play the Game.”
It’s about teaching our students the skills, attitudes, and beliefs they need to become respectful, responsible, confident, and kind members of our community.
