Jimboomba State School is a large rural school on the southern edge of Brisbane. The school draws students from a variety of home backgrounds, from acerage properties to average house blocks. The economic situation of our families is changing with unemployment on the increase. We have a large Special Education Programme facility on site catering for students with disabilities. These students are included in the general class population but supported through the Special Education Program. Students are offered a varied curriculum, one that is engaging, child centred and child focused. Support is given to students who require additional assistance, through class activities, Learning Support staff and parent volunteers. Our gifted and talented students are offered enrichment in a variety of areas - dance, drama, music, science, visual arts, debating, Information and Comunication Technologies. The schools' ICT programme offers students from P to7 the opportunity to engage with claymation, avatars, imovie and wikis. Virtual classrooms have been established in a number of year levels to be expanded across all years levels. Our students participate in a variety of sports including water polo, AFL, rugby league - both boys and girls.
