Welcome to the Andergrove State School. Andergrove SS is a medium sized, well-resourced school with approximately 350 students.
The Positive Behaviour School ethos has been strongly embedded in our school culture for a number of years. Our students develop values of tolerance, understanding and personal responsibility as part of our strong focus on making positive behaviour choices. The three rules of always be a learner, always be respectful and always be safe are constantly reinforced and expected.
We believe that children come to our school to learn, to be safe and to be happy. All we do aims to satisfy this expectation. Learning is our core business. We aim to assist individual students to continuously develop their knowledge, skills and abilities within a supportive and caring school environment.
Andergrove State School recognises that everyone within our community has rights and responsibilities. Every individual's actions should ensure that another's rights are acknowledged by their own responsible behaviour. Children are expected to give their best effort, obey school rules, be neatly groomed & dressed, show respect for authority and be considerate & tolerant of others. Positive behaviours such as good manners, courtesy and diligence are encouraged and recognised.
Andergrove State School has a proud record of working with parents to meet the educational needs of our students. Our curriculum goal is 'Linking Learning to Life' and therefore our curriculum focuses on the essential learning required of all children. Our school provides a learning environment where all students strive to reach their potential, developing a sense of self-worth and self-discipline. We encourage students to engage in a range of academic, sporting and cultural learning opportunities.
Achieving good educational outcomes for your children is very dependent on a successful partnership between your home and your child's school. Your child's progress is heavily influenced by the interest you show in their education, the support you provide and how you choose to participate in school affairs. To this end I encourage you to maintain regular contact with our teaching staff and to become actively involved in our school activities.
We welcome you to share in the education of your children and we trust that your association with our school will be a satisfying and rewarding one. Please keep this booklet as a reference document. We look forward to working with you to provide a quality education for your children. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of assistance at any time.
