Welcome to the Cawarral State School community! Since our doors opened in 1874, we have provided generations of students a nurturing and engaging environment that values curiosity and love for learning. As one of the oldest schools in our region, we have a longstanding tradition of blending high-quality education with warm, family-like support, which we believe is the key to unlocking the limitless potential in every child.

Our pedagogical approach, particularly in the lower years, emphasises joy and engagement. Our experienced educators leverage play-based learning and innovative teaching strategies to instil core skills like phonics, reading, writing, and numeracy. At the same time, we cover the entire Australian curriculum, ensuring a holistic academic experience.

We believe each child is unique, deserving an education tailored to their individual needs and potential. Hence, our staff go above and beyond to understand each student, tailoring teaching styles and providing additional resources where necessary. This level of personal attention, we believe, makes learning a fun and fulfilling journey.

Cawarral State School recognizes the importance of technology in modern education. Our state-of-the-art computer lab, iPads for each student, multi-touch displays, and advanced tech equipment, such as robotics kits and 3D printers, transform everyday learning into an exciting digital experience. In the upper years, we offer one-to-one iPads to make learning truly immersive. We even bring Artificial Intelligence into the classroom, future-proofing our students for a rapidly evolving digital world.

Learning at Cawarral goes beyond academics. Our vibrant extracurricular ecosystem, encompassing a chess club, Lego club, music classes, and even a robotics club, provides countless opportunities for students to explore their passions and build leadership skills throughout the year. Programs like our SHINE girls group and The Resilience Project, along with our after-school care, hosted by Coastal Kids, contribute to the well-rounded development of every child.

One of our unique charms is our beautiful location, nestled on a hill and surrounded by lush greenery. Our students often spot wallabies on the school oval, turning every day into a delightful adventure. The tranquillity of nature resonates throughout our school, creating an atmosphere of peace and joy that enhances the learning experience.

At Cawarral, we foster a culture of respect and safety. Our student leaders model these values and carry them forward, guiding younger peers in embracing these principles. This culture is ingrained into every aspect of our school, from academics to extracurricular activities.

We take pride in being a community-oriented school. Our families are a vital part of our school life, participating in classrooms, our tuckshop, and P&C. We host community events like our annual car show and trivia nights, fostering a strong bond between the school and the wider community. This warm, communal spirit is what makes our school a second home to many.

Choosing Cawarral State School means choosing a community that invests in your child's future. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to create a supportive and stimulating environment where each child can thrive. Come join us, and let's embark on this remarkable journey together.

Warmest Regards,

Bryce Morrice
