We are all about teaching and learning!

Swayneville State School strives for excellence in multi-age pedagogy, enabling excellence in student engagement to maximise student learning outcomes and operating within a supportive, inclusive, respectful and disciplined school environment.

Each year our school uses our school data to inform our teaching and learning. We then determine what our school improvement agenda is. For 2016, the focus is:

1. Effective pedagogical practises. (How teachers teach effectively.)

2. Students showing relative gain. (The steady progress that all our students make.)

For the full School Improvement Priorities, complete with explaining details and actions, please view the Forms and Documents pages. It is uploaded there. Our selected school curriculum documents are also available on this page.
