The school delivers the Australian Curriculum across English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Technology, The Arts, Health and Physical Education, and Languages Other Than English (Japanese, compulsory from Prep).

The school's revenue model is non-commercial: core operations are funded by the Queensland Department of Education recurrent grant, with ancillary fee-generating streams routed through the P&C Association, including the Student Resource Scheme ($120 per Prep student), the OSH Club (before/after school and vacation care, capacity 255 children, rated 'Exceeding' under the National Quality Framework), the Eatons Hill Snack Shack tuckshop, and the Uniform Shop. Specialised programmes that differentiate the school include a tiered Dance Program (Curriculum, Extension, Excellence), Instrumental and Choral Music, interschool sport, a 10+ year international partnership with Midori City, Japan featuring annual study tours, and a Defence School Mentor program supporting ADF families with priority enrolment consideration. Enrolment is catchment-managed via an Enrolment Management Plan, with the school under the leadership of Principal Jodie Watts.
