Welcome to Jamboree Heights State School. Our school community is justifiably proud of our school and students. You will often hear our creed, "If you can read, you will succeed"! We consider the ability to read as one of the most important cornerstones in life, which is why we continually strive to improve the literacy skills of all students.
Since the start of 2012, we have been implementing the National Curriculum, a curriculum that has given us a clear and consistent pathway. Our school is also implementing the Fleming model of explicit teaching, a core focus on relevant and effective pedagogy. Spelling Mastery is also a key feature across Years 1-6. Our teachers are trained professionals who understand the value of obtaining a quality education in the 'foundation years'. Every child matters every day!
Our extra-curricular offerings such as the instrumental music program, the sports program, the arts program, the environmental education program, and the extension and enrichment program add to the quality education available to students at this school.
We have a diverse range of students who are well catered for through a fully inclusive model of classroom teaching and learning and
various programs such as the EAL/D (English as another Language/Dialect)
program, the LOTE (Chinese) program and the Early Years program.
Our school's facilities provide a wonderful learning environment for all students. The multi-purpose centre, the swimming pool, our oval, the library extension and our playgrounds are fantastic features of our school. These facilities are being added to in the near future through new instrumental and specialist music rooms and additional classrooms to cater for a growing enrolment.
Information and Communication Technologies remain at the forefront of our annual planning with regard to teaching, learning and acquisition. Having Interactive Whiteboards in every classroom, various computer labs, and class sets of iPads provide many engaging real-life and life-like learning experiences for all students.
An integral component of the school ethos is the capacity-building and values education program, You Can Do It. This assists our students to grow as individuals and active members of our community.
Parents are encouraged to become part of the school community through many forums, events and activities. Communication between home and school is vital and we value the essential home-school partnership for improving learning outcomes.
We are proud to be a part of the Centenary Learning Alliance of State Schools (CLASS). The three primary schools (Jamboree Heights, Jindalee, and Middle Park) and Centenary State High School provide a quality and continuous education from Prep to Year 12.
Should you enrol your child at Jamboree Heights State School, we strongly believe you will have made an excellent choice.
