A Message from the Principal
Welcome to Emerald North State School. Thank you for taking the time to consider our school as the primary option for your child's education. Our school offers quality learning outcomes in all areas of the curriculum for students in Prep - Year 6.
Our ethos is built tightly around the recognition that everyone has a story. We live the belief that equity is the most important value a school can have.
We actively teach behaviours that we want students to exhibit. The selected behaviours come from significant data captured on student behaviour, and is therefore tailored closely to student need.
Working Smarter is a real goal for staff at ENSS. We proudly boast:
- High levels of IT integration in all of our classrooms with Interactive Whiteboards, Phonic Ear Teacher Support systems, IPads and laptops.
- Access to interactive response technology.
- A very thorough profiling process allowing teachers, students and parents to be finely attuned to student progress.
- The best support process for our students at ALL levels.
- The most comprehensive process for identification and support of Gifted and Talented students.
Most significantly, the communication processes we have at this school focus on building effective partnerships between school and home. This means two things:
- An open door policy at school where concerns, discussions, messages is welcome.
- A clear understanding that the level of connectedness between school and home, the better the outcomes for the student.
Please take the time to read this information to ensure that you and your children enjoy your time at our school. I look forward to working with you, and openly invite you to be as involved as possible, as we start this successful journey, together.
Regards,
Jeremy Callaghan
Acting Principal
