Anakie State School was established in 1885 and has 3 teaching blocks which includes, from 2022, a multi class State Delivered Kindy. A separate library was built in 2010 and the school is fully air conditioned.
The school has extensive grounds and sporting facilities consist of handball courts and multi-purpose courts that include tennis, basketball and netball. We have a dedicated HPE teacher who visits our school once per week. In 2026 Swimming lessons take place at Emerald Aquatic Centre and students travel by bus to the venue.
All children have access to desktop computers, laptops and iPads either in the Computer lab or directly in the classroom.
The current student enrolment, including Kindy, sits around 60. Multi-aging is encouraged at Anakie State School with all of the classes comprising more than one grade level. The four classrooms currently consist of kindy/prep, 1/2, 3/4 and 5/6.
Anakie State School provides a safe and caring environment for high quality learning. The school’s motto, 'A sound mind in a sound body' reflects the commitment of teachers, support staff and the school community in encouraging every child to reach their full potential while promoting social responsibility that goes with being part of a community.
