Upper Mount Gravatt State School has an enrolment of approximately 500 students from prep to year 6.

We are located on Logan Road close to the large shopping centre of Garden City. The school grounds back on to a bushland reserve (The Roly Chapman Reserve) and are bordered on two sides by residential housing.

The original school opened in 1929. All of the current school buildings date from the 1940s. Our school celebrated 75 years of educational excellence in October 2004.

Upper Mount Gravatt State School has outstanding outdoor facilities. Our students have access to a swimming pool, basketball courts, tennis courts, junior and senior adventure playgrounds, sealed play areas as well as three large ovals. Recent times have seen the construction of the Upper Mount Gravatt Performing Arts Centre, which boasts a full sized hall, computer lab, conference room and a green room for video effects.

Upper Mount Gravatt State School is a high-performing Independent Public School driven by disciplined innovation and focus on social-emotional learning. UMG is built on a strong sense of community and commitment to quality education. We shape individual and collective success through our four points of difference (PODs) framework that underpins our vision and strategic direction. 

1. UMGlearn is driven by the belief that every student can achieve. High achievement is fostered through focused evidence-based programs that capture students’ needs and challenge students to extend themselves academically. 

2. UMGconnect is focused on enhancing learning by creating a positive school culture that values authentic partnerships with parent, local and international communities. 

3. UMGfit recognises that a healthy mind and body is integral. Total wellbeing is fostered through our You Can Do It, sports and outdoor education programs. 

4. UMGnext has a futuristic perspective. It seeks to create innovative learning opportunities and spaces that challenge the ordinary. 

Students are encouraged to think outside the box and develop skills that will set them up for a successful future.​
