On behalf of the Mount Tyson State School community and Education Queensland, I welcome you to our school. Mount Tyson State School has a long standing history of providing quality educational outcomes for all students. Our school began its service to the community in 1904 and boasts many outstanding achievements across a broad range of academic and extra-curricular endeavours. We aim to ensure all students receive a quality education individually tailored to meet their needs with an emphasis on developing learning environments that are age appropriate, innovative and enriching.
In particular, we extend a special welcome to the parents of all new students and trust your association with this school be both happy and educationally fulfilling. We are excited that you have chosen to join our Mount Tyson school community.
We pride ourselves on the following:
- Ensuring every child has access to great teaching and learning, not by luck but by design.
- Being a public school that provides a high quality and inclusive education
- Ensuring that all students are given the best possible opportunity to succeed
- Teachers who understand the need for a range of teaching strategies to ensure students ‘get the basics right’
- Being part of a community that values education
- Being proactive in managing the behaviour of students
- Nurturing a friendly atmosphere based on strong communication
- Maintaining a safe and supportive environment
- Fostering pride in the school and in oneself
At Mount Tyson we believe learning should be engaging, purposeful and differentiated to meet individual learner’s needs. We have a caring and committed teaching and support staff that will assist your child from Prep to Year 6. We work together to ensure that your children experience school as a happy and safe sanctuary for learning. We look forward to working with you as your child grows and develops throughout the years.
As a parent you can play an important role in the education of your child. Take an active interest in your child’s school life. It is only when the three main factors in education, the student, the parent and the educator are working in harmony that effective and lifelong learning can take place. Education today is a shared responsibility, if we are to achieve what is best for the individual child we must work together as a collaborative partnership.
We look forward to meeting and getting to know you and your child/ children.
Yours in Learning,
Stephanie Graham-Smith, Principal
