To our future families and students, welcome to our historic school.
Killarney P-10 State School has been delivering strongly on its motto, “Success Crowns Effort" since 1874 and represents community values, great traditions all the while looking to the future to respond to the needs of our students and community.
Education through the delivery of the Australian Curriculum is our core business. As the principal of Killarney P-10 State School, I am privileged to lead a team of passionate and caring staff, who are highly committed to a student-centred approach and who work diligently to create a strong culture that supports everyone's 'right to learn'. Staff care about our children and offer many opportunities for personal growth development and the establishment of lifetime friendships.
Our students flourish in a learning environment that is caring and supportive with preconditions for learning well established across the school. Our students are polite and respectful and have a commitment to learning and taking care of others.
A culture of professional collaboration is valued in our school and opportunities are provided to staff for collaborative planning and professional learning. A strong Community of Practice model exists to bring research-based practices into our classrooms and provide opportunities for our staff to grow.
We enjoy strong community-based support through generational connections between the school and community and highly value the partnerships which provide students with enriching educational experiences and opportunities.
Our school has an excellent reputation for its culture of mutual respect, positive student behaviour and commitment to learning which have been nurtured through working closely with parents and the community. At Killarney P-10 State School, we believe it takes a community to educate a child and we look forward to your future involvement and commitment to our school.
In 2024 the school celebrates 150 years of proudly providing state education to the students of Killarney and surrounding district. Events are planned for throughout the year with the official main celebrations on Saturday 12 October at the school.
