Marnoo Primary School is a small school in a rural community. We provide a friendly and caring environment that fosters self esteem, and social and academic confidence in all students.Our numbers enable us to maintain small learning groups and develop flexibility in our programs. We endeavour to access a range of support and opportunities to ensure our students have the same opportunities as those in larger centres. At Marnoo Primary it is our shared belief that every child has the capacity to learn given appropriate time, support and resources. The core values that guide our school are Respect, Confidence, Responsibility, Doing Your Best and Involvement in your Local Community. The school provides a balanced, comprehensive curriculum across the key learning areas including an integrated approach to curriculum planning based on the VELS. LOTE (Chinese) is taught at all year levels. Both classrooms have an Interactive Whiteboard and all students have 1:1 computer access.
