Upper Mount Gravatt State School P&C

The School Opinion Survey is now open. The survey helps us understand what our school is doing well and identify areas for improvement.

An email invitation has been sent to all school families, with the subject line: School Opinion Survey for parents and caregivers, 2026.

How to complete the survey:

• The survey can be completed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone with internet access.
• If you don’t have internet access, school computers or tablets will be made available for you to use.
• If you experience any issues accessing the survey, you can request a new survey link by emailing the School Opinion Survey Team at [email protected].

We encourage all parents and caregivers to complete the survey. The more responses we receive, the more meaningful the results will be for our school.

Trouble finding your invitation?

If your family has more than one parent or caregiver, check to see if they received the invitation. Also, don’t forget to check your junk or spam email folder.

🥣 Urgent: Breakfast Club Volunteer Needed
Can YOU help?

Our wonderful Breakfast Club organiser, Sharon, is looking for an adult volunteer to assist with this much-loved program.

📅 Wednesdays
⏰ 8:00–9:00am
📍 PAC Kitchen

Breakfast Club has been supporting our students for many years, and Sharon is keen to continue providing this valuable service. With a long-time helper no longer able to assist, we’re looking for another adult volunteer to join the team.

If you can spare an hour on Wednesday mornings, we’d love to hear from you. Even if you’re not sure whether you can commit long-term, please get in touch to discuss how you might be able to help.

Thank you for supporting our school community! 💜🧡💚

This time last week Lauretta was busy baking up a storm for the movie night. Thanks for sponsoring our event Lauretta's Tasty Treats and thanks for braving the chilly winter night (and nearly gale-force winds) to sell delicious treats 🧁

If you have a celebration coming up (or just want a special cake for surviving the week) contact Lauretta today - if her cakes are anywhere near as tasty as her caramel fudge brownies you won't regret it 😋

Thank you Australian Fitness and Martial Arts for sponsoring our movie night! 🥋
