Cooran State School is situated in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. Our school currently has an enrolment of around 170 students in classes from Prep to Year 7. The students work in multi-age classes with a group of experienced and dedicated teachers. All classes are co-educational. Cooran State School offers Education Queensland's Key Learning Areas as well as a range of extra-curricular activities. Specialist teachers visit the school to provide Physical Education, Music and Japanese learning experiences. Drama lessons, lunchtime sports, instrumental music and a permaculture garden are a few of the extra-curricular activities. Classes all take turns to work in the permaculture garden developing a strong bond to the environment. Produce from the garden is a feature of the school tuckshop's healthy menu. Technology is incorporated in all classrooms with interactive whiteboards and computer pods in all learning spaces. Our new resource centre contains a teaching computer laboratory catering for whole class groups. School operations are based on acceptance and mutual respect. Community involvement is a feature of our school.
