| (As at first semester 2005) Capel School is located in a quiet, picturesque semi rural setting bordered by the Capel River to the east and farmland to the south. The spacious school grounds and lush playing fields are enhanced by large red gum and peppermint trees and an area of remnant bush in the north-west corner. The hundred year history of the school (1898) is reflected in an aesthetically pleasing blend of old and recent buildings, providing excellent facilities for students and staff. Students enrol at Capel School because of its pleasant surroundings, warm friendly tone, value placed on good citizenship, commitment to school uniform and variety of programs on offer. Traditionally Capel was a small rural school servicing the town and farming community. Mineral sands mining in the sixties brought changes to the district with increased student population. Numbers have further increased since viticulture, coastal development, rural subdivisions and expansion of the south west has occurred. Students from a variety of socio economic backgrounds attend the school. School Programmes: * Emphasis is on improving literacy and numeracy results, with a 'whole-school' approach. A 'Getting it Right' literacy specialist is appointed to support this. * A strong emphasis on health and fitness achieves low levels of student obesity and many sporting successes. Capel is an 'Asthma Friendly School'. A sports specialist is operating across years 1-7 in 2006. * Environmental education includes interaction with the community in bush land rehabilitation, river quality, 'Waste Wise School' activities and accreditation as a 'Water Wise School'. * A program promoting positive social skills and values is conducted across the school and supported by a community funded chaplain. As part of the BMAD program, school behavioural policies are to be reviewed in 06/7. * The arts are emphasized through music and movement with opportunities to learn a variety of musical instruments and become a member of two successful choirs. * The adoption of a sister school in Bali has enriched the Indonesian LOTE program and given it a community focus. * A School Based Community Liaison Officer has been appointed for 12 months 06/07 to strengthen community links and support families. Capel is a life style choice for many and the school is highly valued within the community. | ||||
