Hello everyone,
On the behalf of the Gowrie Junction School Community, I welcome you to our website and our school!
Gowrie State School is a rare gem amongst the many different schooling options that are available in our area. The school currently has nine classes of students, meaning that while students numbers are much smaller than other schools in town, our school has sufficient student numbers to offer great opportunities, but is small enough to ensure that your child is valued and catered for. Academic success and student wellbeing is supported through our inclusive practices and Positive Behaviour for Learning approach to behaviour management.
Gowrie State School is a traditional school in many aspects, such as having high expectations for attendance, dress code, excellent manners and lots of good old-fashioned pride in belonging to a great school. On the other hand, our curriculum, teaching and learning strategies are contemporary and our work around student voice, diversity, positive mindset, citizenship and responsibilities within environmental priorities are innovative. We recognise the significant learning that occurs at home and in the wider community and believe the shared investment given to the Gowrie 5Rs - Respect, Resilience, Responsibility, Rigour and Relationships is a strong start, deepens foundations and sets a forward-looking pathway for all Gowrie Students.
'Dignity In Work And Play' - our lived motto.
I look forward to welcoming you to our school.
Regards,
Mrs Roslyn Waldron
Principal | Gowrie State School
