Ours is a co-education school catering for students in Years 8 to 12. Our total enrolment is 940, and apart from our main campus in Toomey Street, Kingaroy, we run an alternate Education Program and a Flexischool. These programs are run off site to cater for the needs of particular students.
The apparent retention rate of students from Year 8 to Year 12 in 2007 was 87%.
Staff Development Priorities for 2007 were:
- Improving teacher skills in student literacy standards.
- Improving staff capacity to teach Information and Communication Technology.
- Assisting staff to promote and develop self discipline in students.
- Improving staff skills in engaging students in the Middle Phase of Learning.
- Improving teaching staff skills in extending high performing students in subject areas, sport, music and other activities.
- Supporting staff in curriculum development including Vocational Education Skills.
- Understanding categories of Special Needs, skilling teachers to cater for these and preparation for Educational Adjustment Program processes.
- “ Partners for Success” training for all staff.
