On behalf of our community, I am excited to welcome you to Cooroy State School!
Our school has a long and proud history of providing excellence in education since 1909. While many aspects of education have changed during this time, the school's approach to education is still based on timeless values of high expectations, relationships, respect, care and effort. Our school motto is 'Strive for Success', and each day students are encouraged and supported to reach their full potential.
At our school, we believe that all students can succeed and through our Positive Behaviour for Learning framework, we teach students the values of:
- Caring for their learning,
- Caring for themselves,
- Caring for your school,
- Caring for others.
Our students are taught the Australian Curriculum through units of work each term, and our staff teams identify student goals and support them to continually move forward with their learning. Student needs are catered for in an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Our staff are passionate educators with a wealth of experience and knowledge, who create engaging and 'fun' learning environments for our students.
We believe that the partnership between school and home is a key element to a successful learning experience for students. Communication is pivotal to this and the basis for positive partnerships between parents, staff, students and community. We encourage you to be a part of this partnership so that we can work together to achieve the best outcomes for your children. Our school continues to develop a wide range of communication strategies, including email, phone and face-to-face. Our school website and Facebook pages also have updates for our school community and links to our newsletters.
As Principal, my passion is to provide a safe, supportive and inclusive learning environment for all of our students to achieve and reach their goals. Our school, and its strong community connections create a beautiful learning environment for children to develop a love of learning and strong values that will stay with them beyond their years with us. I invite you to come and visit so we can proudly show you what can offer your child.
Kind regards,
Lori McPherson
Principal
