As the principal of West End State School, I am privileged to lead a team of highly professional and committed staff, who work diligently to provide an environment that supports each and every student.
A culture of professional collaboration is valued in our school and facilitated by the Leadership Team. Opportunities are provided for team planning, professional learning as well as coaching and mentoring. A strong Professional Learning Community model exists and continues to bring innovative practices into our classrooms and the opportunity for our staff to grow.
Our students flourish in an environment which values creativity, confidence, compassion, challenge and community. Inclusivity is central to our school's ethos – not just in words, but in actions!
We have an amazing, diverse and vibrant community. We take every opportunity to work together with our community to educate our children.
Our school's proximity to the CBD, universities, Brisbane State High School and our city's cultural precinct have resulted in the establishment of partnerships and links which provide our students with additional educational experiences and opportunities.
West End State School is a unique environment and one of which we are very proud!
