It is my pleasure to
welcome you and your family to The Summit State School. The Summit is a
small school that is situated thirty minutes south of Warwick. Our
current enrolment is thirty-one students. At The Summit State
School, we pride ourselves on creating a warm, safe and supportive environment
for every student and that every student is learning, every day!
Our staff are a group of
very dedicated professionals who provide a wonderful learning environment for
our students. The classroom environment reflects a commitment to
inclusive education.
The Australian
Curriculum is what The Summit State School delivers through high quality
teaching and learning. Each teacher has planned their term’s work to ensure that
there is time available for pupils to investigate and explore the subject
matter. Our assessment tasks are aligned to our planning and are used to inform
the teachers, along with parents/carers of student achievement. This also
allows staff to provide quality feedback to students so they can strive to
improve. Teachers share their work in terms of Curriculum and Assessment
Outlines with parents and carers on a regular basis.
Parents and carers are
the cornerstone of the volunteer network operating at The Summit. Without
their tireless work and support many things would simply be unable to be
achieved. Parents and carers are involved in helping within classrooms, the
school tuckshop, working bees and excursions.
The school has a P and C
which meets one Wednesday evening once a term. I invite everyone to
attend to help with fundraising and to mix with other like-minded people.
I invite you and your
family to visit The Summit State School and to see why The Summit is the right
school for your child.
If there is anything I
can do to be of further assistance, please don't hesitate in letting me know.
Will Ashburn
Principal
