 Mrs Lorraine Collins Everyone at Springwood Central State School would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your family to our school. Our school has a long proud tradition of providing educational opportunities to students in our local area. The values of our school are:
- Tolerance and understanding
- Respect for self and others
- Responsibility
- Honesty
- Excellence
These extend to all of the various pursuits undertaken in the school – academic, sporting and cultural and social achievement.
We are a school which has the capacity to meet the diverse needs of individuals while pursing the goals of Education Queensland.
Our school is able to equip our students with the “basics” as the foundations that are so necessary for competent participation in our society. We can also provide students with access to new and emerging skills and abilities in the areas of technology, problem solving and team work.
Our school offers an inclusive curriculum to meet the needs of our diverse school population. A variety of activities is held annually which enhance the motivating activities offered in classrooms and extend the experiences of all students. These experiences are educationally stimulating and offer a challenge on different levels to all students.
Staff, parents and members of the school community work together to initiate, maintain and enhance the partnerships which have been forged and will be forged in the future.
At Springwood Central we are pleased you have selected our school to join you, as parents, in providing the quality education which will equip the students not only for today but with one that will prepare them for the future.
We aim to:
- create a safe, tolerant and disciplined environment for students
- prepare young people to be active and reflective Australian citizens
- develop the skills and desires for life-long learning in our students
- support students to become active citizens in community, economic and political life
- build students’ confidence in their relationships with other cultures in Australia and abroad
The school encourages self-reliance, self-discipline and self-motivation leading to the development of a positive self-image and pride in achieving an acceptable standard. Such self-assurance will enable the child to cope with life in a complex changing society, who are able to face and overcome the challenges offered in years to come, through the development of skills, knowledge and self confidence.
This information booklet sets out to answer some of the queries you may have regarding school procedures and activities. Paramount amongst our goals is the belief in a strong partnership between home and school. This partnership produces a very positive effect on your child’s development.
Thank you for asking our school to join you on the educational journey for the primary years of your child’s life.
The Road to Excellence is Paved with Success.
Mrs Lorraine Collins
