It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our website.
Our school was opened in 1982 and we have a proud and outstanding reputation in the community for providing a high-quality education for all of our learners. We proudly offer all learners, including our international students, a world class education.
The school currently has a student population of around 760 learners from Prep to Year 6. Our school has an enrolment management plan. The eight learning areas of the Australian Curriculum are offered. We endeavour to develop the whole child – intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, culturally and creatively to ensure that each learner is provided with the best opportunity to reach their full potential. We have high expectations of our staff and learners to ensure that everyone performs to the very best of their ability.
Our school was re- accredited as a Glasser Quality School in October 2022. As a Glasser Quality School we have a joyful, caring, fun and supportive learning culture. Establishing and maintaining positive relationships with the entire school community is at the heart of all that we do. Our staff are trained in our philosophical base of Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and Lead Management which ensures that our school is a 'Good Place to Be' for everyone.
We focus on developing lifelong learners who are:
competent and skilled learners
life-long learners
effective communicators
creative, critical thinkers
happy, confident and self-managed individuals
socially responsible citizens
environmentally responsible citizens
I am extremely proud of the achievements and work of our learners and staff and I look forward to making connections and working in partnership with our families to achieve each learner's educational goals and potential. I look forward to all of us working together authentically to ensure that Sunshine Beach is the best school that it can possibly be.
