School statement
Mt Cotton School prides itself on keeping up with the times while maintaining an appreciation for the school's history and values. Our school aims to continually improve our operations so students learn in an educational environment of care and support. Staff work hard to ensure our curriculum meets needs of students and is engaging and relevant. We continue to experience unprecedented growth as a result of new housing development over the past few years. Improving literacy and numeracy standards for all our students remains the highest priority of all staff members. The school curriculum incorporates the QCAR Framework as the cornerstone of learning experiences for students. A hands-on approach to learning is engaged whenever possible. A wide range of extra-curricular activities is provided for our students. Provision of a differentiated curriculum for identified students is a priority. Visit the school website.
