ARTIE Academy
Bribie Island State School is proud to be a part of the ARTIE (Achieving Results Through Indigenous Education) Academy which runs in partnership with FOGS (Former Origin Greats). The Academy’s vision is to improve educational outcomes for both male and female Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Using innovative approaches, the Academy aims to create high expectations for effort, behaviour, achievement and commitment.
The ARTIE Academy assists to Close the Gap in educational outcomes between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. It provides opportunity to participate in programs that encourage improvements in school attendance, behaviour, academic achievement, effort and ultimately Year 12 attainment or its equivalent.
BISS participates in events such as Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC week, ARTIE Launch days and the end of year attendance excursion to White Water World.
Bribie Island State School's Coordinator is Isaiah Sullivan.

Solid Pathways Program
The Solid Pathways is an online critical and creative thinking program for high-achieving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who have performed in the top two bands in Year 3 NAPLAN for numeracy and reading.
The Solid Pathways program offers enrolled students weekly online lessons that develop life-long skills to support them across all curriculum areas. Lessons align with the Australian Curriculum and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures Cross-curriculum priority. The Program aims to raise students' expectations of themselves as learners.
Regular attendance in the online lessons is crucial to support students' developmental progression.
