A very warm welcome to Cairns State Special School.
We are starting an extraordinary year and absolutely committed to the
provision of high quality educational experiences for students in a safe and respectful environment.
All students are supported to achieve their personal best through authentic
and relevant learning experiences aimed at developing and enhancing academic
skills, social competencies, and daily living and recreational skills.
Our collective goal is to pursue excellence across our
school community within a culture of continuous improvement. We
have uniformity of purpose and a common direction in which to work, as detailed
in our current draft Strategic Plan. We work in teams and share the responsibility and care for all children enrolled at
our school.
Our school is a Resilience Project (Official Partnership)
School and as such, we provide an emotionally engaging, whole school program
that uses evidence based approaches to build resilience in order to develop
mental health. The school wide implementation of the Resilience Project which
focuses on gratitude, empathy, mindfulness and emotional literacy, directly
supports our school’s values.
Community partnerships are very important to us and we make a
deliberate choice to foster strong community partnerships that support improved outcomes for our students. We welcome parent
involvement in our school and ensure that our students have access to all the
supports they require in their learning.
Again, the very warmest of welcomes to Cairns State Special
School!
Mrs Susan Hoad
Principal
