It is with pleasure that I welcome you to the MacGregor State School website.
Named after Queensland’s 11th governor Sir William MacGregor, and our local suburb, MacGregor State School opened in 1972. We have since established a very proud reputation as a school of excellence, enrichment and extension; consistently being one of the highest performing schools in student academic, performing arts and sporting results.

As an Independent Public School (IPS) we have a very active School Council and P&C. We aim to work in a positive partnership with parents to realise the potential of every student. Our high expectations of behaviour and the pride with which our students wear their distinctive uniform demonstrate to the community our commitment to educational excellence, engagement, well-being and inclusion.
