Welcome to Augusta State School
At Augusta we live our mantra of:
Empowered to be my best today. Inspired to be even better tomorrow.
At Augusta you will hear our students talking about being shining stars with a plan, rising stars and superstars. These descriptions are part of how our students reflect on their day – their learning, their effort, their goals and themselves.
Background
Augusta State School opened in 2011 and is now nine years old. We are a Public Private Partnership school with state-of-the-art facilities providing children and staff with the most modern, up to date, learning conducive environment available. Augusta has an Enrolment Management Plan. Our catchment area includes most of Augustine Heights, and parts of Brookwater, Bellbird Park and Redbank Plains, in Brisbane’s fast growing western corridor. Our school has continued to experience significant growth, with a current enrolment of 1080 students in 44 classes.
We have built a learning culture, a learning environment and a learning community that lives and breathes our school motto – ‘Empowered to be my best today and inspired to be even better tomorrow’. We share a common language which enables students, parents and staff to know what success looks like, feels like and sounds like. To enhance learning students at our school are taught to, and encouraged to, become confident and successful goal setters. Through goal setting and reflection, students demonstrate their understanding of what it is they have learnt, its importance, its application, and what are the next steps in their learning. We acknowledge and celebrate success at every opportunity, this supports and encourages our learning culture.
Augusta is an Independent Public School. The School Council is made up of school staff and parents. The School Council works with the school leadership team to develop the school Strategic Plan, the Annual Operation Plan and budget to ensure that we continue to cater for each student in a rapidly growing school focused on increased learning outcomes for students.
