Bargara State School is dedicated to preparing our students for their future. Our motto of 'Educating Today's Youth for Tomorrow's World' is focussing us towards this important goal. We take a proactive approach to the NAPLAN diagnostic testing and use the information to support our students' immediate future learning.

We need to continue to provide our Year 3 students with the additional support that has been in place since 2008 and has resulted in improvement. We are focussed not only on developing the academic ability of our students but also the non-academic abilities of our students. Some of the key features of our non-academic programs include: the introduction and teaching of 'The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People' - started July 2010; we are a member of the 'School Wide Positive Behaviour Support' project - started in July 2009; strong school support programs for those students who demonstrate high levels of ability as well as for those who are finding school work challenging. We are in an exciting time with the pending introduction of the Australian Curriculum and Bargara State School is ready to take this new curriculum and deliver it to our students with the highest of expectations. We have a constant understanding that we continue to improve our school with the sole intent of providing the best education for our students. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE.
