Mountain Creek State School has become well known for its supportive school culture, its engaging exciting education programs and a wide range of student achievements. The school opened in 1994. In that time the school enrolment has grown to over 1,200 students. Our main goal has been and always will be to make this school a welcoming place for everyone. While we are here to assist children in their quest to educate themselves for their role in the outside world, we are also committed to respecting and nurturing the individual gifts and talents that make your child unique. We want our students to leave Mountain Creek with the confidence, skills and abilities to allow them to contribute as valuable citizens of our global community, to have a healthy respect for themselves and others, and a burning desire to make a difference in our world. In summary, Mountain Creek State School is a place with a strong sense of community, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, both for who they are today and what they hope and dream of for tomorrow. As you are hopefully aware we have put a large number of strategies in place to assist students with achieving the very best learning outcomes they can, as part of our school improvement plan. We are pleased to report that our overall school performance has shown considerable improvement in 2010, particularly considering the efforts our teachers go to in supporting students from wherever they are at. Our school has increased its mean score in 11 out of 15 categories of performance across Years 3, 5 and 7. On average, 95 to 98% of our students in Years 3, 5 and 7 are above the National Minimum Standards. Mountain Creek State School is similar to or above the National mean in 12 out of the 15 categories in relation to Reading, Writing, Spelling, Grammar, Punctuation, and Numeracy. Our results also show us where we have some more work to do. We have moved some of our intervention support this year to assist classroom teachers achieve this. At the end of the day, it is all..
