Building Coorparoo Character
Kindness
We recognise that the needs and interests of others are as important as our own, and that treating everyone fairly and with dignity and respect is an expectation of all.
Curiosity
All learning is driven by curiosity and while curiosity is innate, it is an attribute that can be cultivated within every classroom. It is how we draw in new knowledge, how to use the known in unfamiliar situations, and how to challenge ambiguities and take risks.
We connect effort and achievement and acknowledge that setbacks and mistakes are new opportunities for learning. We are in charge of our own responses to feelings, and have confidence in our ability to solve problems that arise.
Coorparoo State School Improvement Pathway
We are united in a common goal to maximise the potential of all children at Coorparoo State School and encourage them to be kind, curious and resilient (CSS School Governance Model).
To do this we need to know every learner, know the intent and vary the pathway.
We can do this through creating a positive, respectful, questioning and engaged learning culture.
Which is embedded in our focus upon an engaging, explicit and aligned teaching and learning.
Ensuring consistency by our theories of action and the essential components of classroom practice - Curriculum Frameworks, Pedagogic Knowledge, Assessment for Learning and Student Voice.
Through a system of leadership driven from the inside out, where the focus is on student learning, enhancing teacher skills, sharing best practice, building capacity for continuous improvement, integrating professional learning communities and generating sustainable networks.
Our current Powerful Learning Framework clearly articulates our priorities and the improvement dimensions that drive our work on a daily basis. Our focus remains on 'learning partnerships of sustained and deliberate practice continuing to build a culture of learning, for all.'
