Robina State School has proudly served our community since 1990. Our Prep-Year 7 curriculum uses the Essential Learnings in the Key Learning Areas of English, Maths, Science, SOSE, HPE, Technology, The Arts, Japanese and G&T programs, Early Intervention strategies and Learning and Special Needs Support. Classroom teaching programs are balanced and innovative, with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy. Our teaching staff reflect on their pedagogical practices through a coaching model, researching best practice and working in collegial teams to maximise each child's potential. Our school is active in the wider community, participating in Anzac Day and the Gold Coast Eisteddfod in choir, bands and string sections. Our school has consistently achieved a top three result in Eisteddfod performances for many years. In 2010, Robina State School won Best Primary School for our performance at the Eisteddfod. Students participated in a range of sporting events including interschool sport. Our chaplain addresses spiritual and/or ethical needs of students. The value of the parental role in education is well recognised at Robina. Parents are actively involved in the school, with our Parents and Citizens Association fostering participation within the school community and providing the advice and additional resources critical to our success.
