We cater for a diverse student cohort, with students who have cultural ties to communities across Cape York and beyond.

Key offerings at Lockhart State School include:

• A broad curriculum, with a focus on basic numeracy and literacy
• Regular culture programs, which generally run on Fridays
• Early Years education, with a strong Pre-Prep program and the "Families First in Early Education" program
• An alternate Secondary Program, to support students who do not attend boarding school

In addition, the school has adopted a strong behavioural philosophy, based on respect.

Lockhart State School has a number of support facilities for students, including a new Resource Centre to provide a better library and enhanced ICT access.
