Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to find our web site. Welcome to our school …

Watashitachi no gakkoo ni yookoso  私たち の 学校 に ようこそ。

Pomona State School is situated at the base of the majestic Mount Cooroora in the old town of Pomona west of the tourist area of Noosa Heads on Queensland’s beautiful Sunshine Coast.

 

Our school opened in its current location in 1976. However, the school itself is over 100 years old and as such, shares much of the town of Pomona’s history. The school is experiencing a growing reputation as a school that provides a holistic and quality education for its students. It is also a school that is growing with our enrolments coming from families moving to Pomona from interstate and around Queensland. We currently have approximately 300 students enrolled from Preparatory Year (Prep) to Year 7. The school has a special small community ‘feel’ which we are working hard to preserve and enhance.

 

On the other hand the school is an exciting, innovative educational establishment that caters for students from 4 years to 13 years of age. Our students and many of our staff live in areas surrounding the school – Pomona, Federal, Boreen Point, Kin Kin and Cooroy.

 

Our school is a wonderful place to come to each day for everybody – students, teachers, ancillary staff and parents. We pride ourselves in having created together a school of togetherness and fun. And we have an experienced and dedicated staff committed to creating a school of excellence for all.

 

Our Vision is articulated as an action: Developing life long learning through

Caring, Sharing and Achieving Together.

 

All members of the Pomona community contribute to a school that works together to promote and develop a love of learning in a range of contexts. We seek to understand children’s individual differences and to provide learning programs that complement how individual children learn.

 

Our purpose is simply stated - to provide opportunities for every student at our school to obtain the best educational outcomes – with our school motto being Sibi Fidelis – Be true to oneself.

 

We are an outcome driven school – what we want for our students determines what we do. Our School Curriculum Plan provides a focus for the development of curriculum in its broadest sense, i.e. academically, physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. By maintaining an outcome driven focus and by consciously working to align all our practices to that focus, we have become a highly effective learning organisation.

 

We love our kids! They are the focus of all our decisions, and a quality relationship with each and every one of them is our priority. We aim to provide comprehensive educational experiences for them regardless of difference. To assist us do this we concentrate on being a progressive and future-orientated organisation that continually reflects on and refines its practices to meet the challenges of this century.

 

I’m immensely proud to be part of this friendly and caring school community.
