About Us


We celebrate our place: our historic school site, our unique environment, our school values and how we contribute to our world. These concepts underpin everything we do.

At Worser Bay School we strive for excellence in achievement. We have high expectations for our children who are encouraged to make decisions about how our teaching and learning programme is shaped. Students and teachers share the ownership of what happens in the classroom.

“Students have opportunities to reflect on their learning. Student-led conferences …encourage them to review their own performance and share this information with their families,” 2008 ERO Report

Our school promotes an engaged community, both within the school and the community. Our children all know each other; all the students, throughout the school, have the chance to work with each other – and all of the teachers. We make the most of our neighbourhood, children spend time outside of school, be it making the most of the beautiful Worser Bay Beach or visiting nearby attractions or facilities. We have a strong and loyal parent community and encourage all parents to initiate involvement with the school.

“The principal has utilised research to inform the community and guide decision making,” 2008 ERO Report

Professional development for our teachers is key; we provide an environment where highly effective teachers are encouraged to strive for excellence. We are all learning and we are constantly looking for ways to improve what we do and how we do.Teachersare reflective and work together to question how we can add value to student learning.

The principal is a professional leader who is leading whole-staff professional development… A culture clearly focused on improvement” 2008 ERO report
