Welcome to
Port Douglas State School. All staff at this school are committed to every
child enrolled, to bring out their best and succeed at their highest level.
Indeed, our school motto is “Endeavour to Succeed” and I expect all students
and staff to live out this motto - everyday.
Our
curriculum follows the Australian national standards and uses teaching
methodologies to best match the delivery and learning modes for each subject
and student needs. We are of course responsive and reflective of community
expectations on student learning and outcomes, and incorporate local
perspectives in our teaching and learning programs.
All staff
are supported to develop and maintain their teaching skills so that student
learning and engagement is maximised at all times during the school day and
across each year.
Our school
and community are situated in a stunningly beautiful location, surrounded by
world heritage rainforest and the door to the Great Barrier Reef. Take some
time to explore our website and see what we are about, especially if you are a
prospective member of our welcoming community.
