Kyogle Public School has a student enrolment of 271 students. The students are drawn from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of abilities and achievements represented in each year group from Kindergarten to Year six. Kyogle Public School has 18% of students identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Our students come from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds
Within the school there are many groups that strive to benefit our students. These include Stage Teams, Learning and Support Team, Aboriginal Education Team and a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Team.
Extra-curricular opportunities at lunch time and through focus groups occur daily. We have numerous teams that represent us in different sports. Every day, during our lunch break, there are a range of structured activities that students may wish to join in with. These include: team sports, Art Club, Dance Group, Environment Club, Deadly Crew, Gardening Group, computer room and quiet games in the library. Band, choir and robotics are optional activities given each week . By creating opportunities for these activities, we enable our students to excel through a range of different experiences.
The whole school is committed to the importance of transitions and strong connections between our local Preschools and High Schools to enhance the academic achievement and wellbeing of all students at Kyogle Public School. We have strong partnerships with universities resulting in extra support for our students in the areas of Speech, Occupational Therapy, Dietetics and Social/Welfare workers.
The whole school community, involving students, staff, parents and the local AECG, was consulted in a thorough situational analysis followed by the development of strategic improvement plan. As a result we will be teachers successfully planning for and delivering quality differentiated instruction to all students with additional needs including those identified as high potential and gifted. Through the NAPLAN gap analysis, the school has identified system-negotiated target areas in Reading and Numeracy. The instructional leader will lead much of this work, with departmental support staff utilised to build understanding on how to do this successfully in the school.
