The School
Coorabell Public School
is a small three- teacher school, which has a strong
sense of community, encompassing a dedicated, professional
staff, a committed parent body and wonderful students.
Structure and Organisation
Our school works in a module
system, ensuring each student is well- known by all
teachers and their needs catered for. All teachers specialise
in a particular key learning area and students have
three different teachers in one day. This allows students
of varying levels of ability to achieve their optimum
potential; through specialisation of programs and staffs
thorough knowledge of all students.
Modules
Coorabell School has three
modules:-
- Early Stage 1/ Stage 1 (S1)- Kindergarten and Year 1
- Later Stage 1/ Stage 2 (S2)- Year 2, Year 3 and Year 4
- Stage 3 (S3)- Years 5 and 6
Each class has a Home Teacher.
The class begins the day with this teacher for pastoral
care, social skills and communication issues. This teacher
is often the student’s first point of call. All
students relate well to all teachers.
