Avoca State School was built in 1980 in response to rapid growth in the Bundaberg West area. A strong culture of teamwork, developed since its inception, has allowed the school to develop high quality curriculum in a safe, caring environment. The school's vision is 'Discovering Pathways - Achieving Dreams - Connecting Worlds' and we proudly work towards this vision for children in all that we do. Our Responsible Behaviour Plan for Students is based on the William Glasser Choice Theory paradigm. It focuses on meeting the psychological needs of children through a highly differentiated and individualised curriculum delivery. Central to this philosophy is the provision of a collaboratively-developed individual student plan for differentiated learning for all children in the school. These are developed at the start of the year and are reviewed at the start of the second semester. Avoca is a 'Stage Based School' which allows us to focus on the particular developmental needs of groups of students under the banners of 'Junior', 'Middle' and 'Senior'. Each stage has a strong culture of collaboration and a commitment to improving outcomes for children through effective teamwork. The learning environment we create at Avoca allows our students to reach their full potential and develop a love of lifelong learning that effectively prepares them for our ever changing society.
