Mungindi is a small rural and remote border town, divided by the Barwon River 120 km North West of Moree. Built on the land of the Gamilaraay people and established in 1893, Mungindi Central School presents a comprehensive education from preschool to Year 12. The school has an enrolment of 87 students of which 61% identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. Despite the remoteness of the location, our committed, qualified and dedicated staff provide a continuity and connectedness to community and breadth of skills and interests that support students beyond curriculum learning. This is demonstrated by a wide range of programs and initiatives that are offered at the school, such as a breakfast club, Premier Reading and Sporting Challenges, Stage 3 and Stage 4 combined STEAM classes (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) and the use of specialist teachers for whole school staffing purposes. With a low student to teacher ratio, Mungindi Central School is able to recognise the individual needs and talents of every child providing tailored educational opportunities that allow students to reach their optimum potential. With staff, students and community working together we achieve our school motto of Motivation, Commitment and Success to produce proud, respectful, responsible learners who are active and informed citizens.
