We "AIM HIGH " and hold expectations for continuous improvement for each and every child in our school. All students deserve a champion and we believe all students learn best by doing. Through collaborating with peers, engaging authentically with the learning material, and actively participating in learning experiences, students deepen their independent, creative, and critical thinking skills.
Our teaching staff and students have a passion for learning and a thirst for knowledge to become life-long learners. We embrace that experiences should be flexible, allowing students to engage with the curriculum content in ways that best suit their learning style. Flexibility also requires an innovative approach in that learning can and does truly happen in a variety of ways using multiple devices and mixed reality media.
School staff, students and families work together as a team, building relationships with purpose and spirit expecting high standards of learning and behaviour. Our students are well equipped in life skills which enable them to contribute to their community positively and purposefully. Our students are confident and proud of their achievements and demonstrate this by participating in community activities. We are proud of our traditions created at our school and each year endeavour to maintain them.
Comet State School encourages parents to participate in their child/ren's education. Parents are invited into the school during special times of the year (e.g. Book fairs, Mother's Day, Father's Day, sporting events and the end of year presentation) Library book swap day , held each odd school week (1,3,5,7,9) and as volunteers for our garden program.
The Students at Comet State School are recognised as individuals, and acknowledge that respect between students and staff is central to harmony and success in the classroom. We provide curriculum programs that incorporate meaningful learning experiences that empower students to take responsibility for their learning to achieve the expectations of the National Curriculum. They have skills and confidence in the use of computers and other new technologies. We develop student leadership skills and help them understand the advantages of working together as a team to achieve their academic, sporting and creative goals.
Our students have empathy for all cultures and appreciates that everyone is deserving of respect in our society. All staff and students live up to the high level of our shared school values.
We encourage parents, carers and the wider community to actively participate in the work of our school. In addition, importantly, we acknowledge and support the vital role that parents play as partners in their children's learning.
We are honoured that parents choose our school to educate their children. It is an act of trust and faith in the work that we do as a whole staff. Teachers affect children's lives and as a profession, we have the power to create great good for both individuals and society.
We invite you to join us in this exciting and rewarding journey.
