Kilcoy State School, established in 1892, is located in the northern section of the Somerset Shire in Queensland. It is located close to the centre of town in the heart of a rapidly changing rural area, with several established and budding industries.
With an enrolment of approximately 275 students from Prep to Year 6, Kilcoy State School is supported by talented and passionate educators with many areas of personal expertise. This composition of staffing and support provides the best possible environment for our students in which to learn. In addition to this, the enthusiasm and open friendliness of our school community provide an excellent platform upon which positive relationships have been founded.
The Kilcoy State School vision is to deliver evidence-based learning and wellbeing practices, embedded in an inclusive culture. This will ensure that we continue to provide and promote the development of confident and motivated students. Kilcoy State School provides this inclusive, caring and rigorous learning environment to engage our students and empower them to embrace learning, achieve their personal best and build their emotional, social and physical wellbeing.
Kilcoy State School has a strong tradition of academic and sporting excellence, cultural appreciation and citizenship achievements. The school offers every child the opportunity to excel in specialist lessons for Physical Education, LOTE (Japanese), The Arts, Instrumental Music and Technologies.
Our use of bilingual teacher aides supports our students who are new to Australia to excel in a new learning environment and identifies to families that we value the first languages and cultures of all our students. It is our aim to provide an inclusive model of learning that addresses the identified needs of all of our students. We offer diverse, inspirational and quality educational experiences and opportunities that recognise and value the individuality and uniqueness of our students.
Support from the wider community is very encouraging. Our Parents and Citizens Association is encouraged and welcomed to provide important feedback and suggestions that assist the school to progress with the needs of the community in mind.
As it grows and develops, Kilcoy State School will continue to embrace innovation and creativity whilst maintaining its unique rural atmosphere. We will always strive for excellence in every area.
