Maroochydore SS strives to produce 'Capable, Confident and Caring' students. Relationships are the key to success and individuals are responsible for their own actions. Staff use the principles of Dr Glasser when interacting with students. We recognise that students learn at different levels and that there is a need for them to feel successful. We also believe that learning should involve enjoyment as well as intellectual rigour. Our curriculum is based on 8 Key Learning Areas with ICT being embedded in all. Explicit teaching is of paramount importance being a strong influence in the areas of literacy and numeracy. Extra-curricular activities include music, aquatic sports and camp. Dance, Multi-Skills and Drama are also offered. A Chaplain supports children and their families. Sunny Kids and the school have partnered to develop the role of a facilitator, who links families with external support agencies in the wider community. This role is helpful to our families who come from outside the immediate area, interstate or overseas. Maroochydore SS has a highly dedicated staff who demonstrate a strong commitment to our students and the wider school community.
