Welcome to the Marian State School. We are pleased to have you join us and help in making our great school even better.
We believe that the most important people to enter the school grounds each day are the students. We take our responsibility for their learning seriously and we meet the challenges of teaching and learning for all students with strong collective knowledge, skills, wisdom and great enthusiasm.
Currently our explicit improvement agenda is:
• building teacher capability in the knowledge of research based pedagogical practices to enhance all student learning.
• review the consistent application of all elements of the Student Code of Conduct to enhance the positive impact on student learning
• review, collaborate and implement strategies and actions of the staff well-being framework, seeking authentic feedback on their positive impact on the professional wellbeing of all staff.
Marian School has a proud record of working with parents to meet the educational needs of our students. Our curriculum goal is “Developing lifelong learning skills in a supportive environment, enabling all to reach their future potential. To this end I encourage you to maintain regular contact with our teaching staff and to become actively involved in our school activities.
We believe that children come to our school to learn, to be safe and to be happy. All we do aims to satisfy this expectation. Learning is our core business. We aim to assist individual students to continuously develop their knowledge, skills and abilities within a supportive and caring school environment.
Marian State School recognises that everyone within our community has rights and responsibilities. Every individual’s actions should ensure that another’s rights are acknowledged by their own responsible behaviour. Children are expected to give their best effort, obey school rules, be neatly groomed & dressed, show respect for authority and be considerate & tolerant of others. Positive behaviours such as good manners, courtesy and diligence are encouraged and recognised.
Our aim is to provide a school environment that promotes learning through active involvement in a wide range of curriculum activities.
We are extremely proud of our highly qualified and very committed staff and the achievements of our students. We hope our website provides an insight into our school culture, our educational experiences and helps showcase our school’s achievements.
We are proud of our school; it is a learning environment where Success Crowns Effort.
We trust staff, students and parents will always demonstrate this positive virtue and display a loyalty to each other, our school and our school community.
We welcome you to share in the education of your children and I trust that your association with our school will be a satisfying and rewarding one.
Mr Craig Homer
Principal
