Welcome to the McDowall State School community
I feel incredibly privileged to be the Principal of McDowall State School. Ours is a school community filled with enthusiastic and dedicated people, students, staff and parents and caregivers, committed to learning, growth and supporting one another.
At McDowall State School, we strive to foster an environment where every student is given the opportunity to excel. We actively nurture strong relationships, encourage quality work and provide a supportive and engaging atmosphere where all children and staff can achieve their potential. We see and value each child for their unique qualities and strengths. We embrace evidence-based teaching practices to meet the diverse needs of our students.
Our school is built on a foundation of equity and excellence. We value every student and foster a culture of learning and care where diversity is celebrated. Whether it's in the classroom, on the stage, or in the playground, we encourage students to explore their interests and aim high. I am deeply committed to supporting every child to realise their full potential academically, socially, emotionally and creatively.
At McDowall State School, we also have a clear set of expectations for behaviour, aligned with the Department of Education's policies. Our Student Code of Conduct is built with input from students, teachers, and parents and focuses on fostering responsibility and self-management. We aim to help students make choices that reflect the person they aspire to be.
Your involvement as parents and caregivers is essential to our success. We believe that education is a partnership, and your support in helping us uphold our high standards will be invaluable. We warmly invite you to engage with our school - whether through classroom activities, events, or broader school initiatives.
I am proud to lead a school that values academic achievement, creative excellence, and personal growth. Together, we can ensure that every child at McDowall State School learns, grows and achieves. I look forward to building a strong partnership with you and hope your time with our school community is both fulfilling and memorable.
