Boorowa Central School

Delivering quality comprehensive education from Kindergarten to Year 12, Boorowa Central School embraces the philosophy 'Excellence through Respect, Responsibility and Participation'. An inclusive learning environment which respects individual needs and provides challenges for all, the school has maintained a consistent track record of academic excellence. Past students continue to successfully complete tertiary studies, several receiving prestigious awards for their university results. Industry standard training facilities and genuine care and support of students with significant learning needs see students supported in appropriate education resulting in full participation rates across further education, training and employment. Staff foster and maintain strong relationships with allied professionals and regional support services, and are committed to maximising student outcomes in a supportive learning environment. An innovative and extensive range of programs support and enhance student achievement including: Reading Recovery, Early Intervention, Middle Schooling, Transitions, School to Work Programs, a wide range of courses, Extension and Vocational Education and Training courses. Our senior courses enjoy small class sizes. Experienced and highly qualified staff are involved in analysis of student outcomes and data to strategically plan future directions for learning programs. With particular focus on literacy, numeracy and technology skills, programs are implemented to support continuous improvement for the students, cohort and whole school. Staff maintain currency of their expertise with professional learning and as consultants beyond the school. Our community is proud of the quality indoor and outdoor environments which have been refurbished to complement learning and recreational programs. The school is well resourced and works strategically to maximise the facilities and opportunities available to students. With fully integrated technology facilities across the entire school, students from Kindergarten access technology as a learning tool. Students develop citizenship and leadership skills through a number of programs including the Student Representative Council. They organise and lead workshops on a range of issues covering values, social responsibility and peer support. An exceptional history of student achievement, we celebrate many individuals and teams having represented the region, state in sport, public speaking, art and music. Students participate in the NSW Millennium Marching Band, NSW State School Choir and Schools Spectacular. Students have won national championships and awards in equestrian, art and public speaking. Our parents are valued as active and central partners in our school. We conduct a number of programs to assist parents in their role, and encourage participation in the Parents and Citizens Association and the School Council, which are highly supportive and proud of our school.
