Kapooka Public School
Kapooka Pubic School is a small, dynamic, well- resourced school within a unique natural setting. The students are committed and enthusiastic learners who enjoy rich and thought-provoking learning experiences. The students are encouraged to be caring and considerate of one another and develop resilience. The majority of our students are transient, with families remaining in Kapooka for approximately 2-3 years. A particular focus of our school is on the smooth transition for students into our school and for their families into the wider community. The school works closely with our parents to provide positive learning outcome for all students. It is staffed by caring, committed and experienced staff who have high expectations and develop quality learning experiences with the capacity to meet the needs of all students: cultural, sporting and academic. Kapooka Public School has a strong values base reflected in our school rules, welfare policy and general expectations. All of these have been formed in collaboration with the parent body with the aim of creating thoughtful, caring and proud students. Kapooka Public School belongs to a community of schools providing wider opportunities for social extension and cooperative learning for students as well as professional learning and support for staff with opportunities for the wider community to collaborate and plan for all students in the network.
