Crawford State School provides a learning environment that empowers each student to realise his or her full learning potential. We provide a supportive learning environment in a small school setting and endeavour to provide experiences for our students to be able to access chosen pathways and life beyond school. Our programs aim to produce students that exhibit the confidence, independence and motivation needed to deal with life's challenges. Professional development is focussed on improving pedagogy in literacy, numeracy and information and communication technologies. Resources are constantly being updated to meet identified needs. Student learning is facilitated through a multi-age approach. Each of the two classes caters for four year levels, Prep to Year 3 and Years 4 to Year 7. Teachers identify individual student needs and work collaboratively with the Learning Support Teacher to meet those needs through extension or remediation. The school purchases additional teacher aide time to ensure the needs of students are met when implementing learning programs and activities designed by class teachers. Students in Years 4 to 7 actively contribute to decision-making.
