At Benowa State High School we are a community that encourages excellence, applauds achievement and celebrates diversity.
Our mission
Promoting the values of integrity, diligence, compassion and respect, we serve our school community by nurturing and challenging students and staff to reach their personal best.
As global citizens, we are guided by these school values to empower our school community with the knowledge and skills to:
- think globally and act locally
- acknowledge, respect and celebrate diversity
- serve the community
- protect the environment
- champion human rights
Drawing students from across our city and around the world, our varied and engaging curriculum provides our school community with dynamic learning opportunities. High-quality learning is assured through the meaningful and productive relationships our students have with specialist teachers. Our educators possess the knowledge and skills to teach in ways that connect with individual students, fostering independent lifelong learners.
Our commitment to high quality learning, our school values and our pedagogical model, enable our school to enact our vision of:
Many pathways – No limits
An original painting by Janelle McQueen, from Wiradjuri Country, represents the school’s vision of
Many Pathways ~ No Limits and the school’s focus on global perspectives. The circle in the centre represents the globe. Travelling tracks are incorporated to represent the diverse cultures represented in our school and the connections we have made abroad.
Yarning circles are incorporated as part of the student journey and demonstrate the school’s commitment to parent and community engagement as the school strives to deliver its vision. Family groups are present within the centre of the image to highlight the value of connection.
International research indicates the important value of parent engagement with school and significant conversations that occur between all stakeholders to ensure every student succeeds.
