| THE COMMUNITY The school's catchment area is extensive, stretching from rural Takenup in the north to Nanarup in the east. It also includes the large intake areas of Lower King and Bayonet Head. Therefore, within our catchment we have students from suburban, rural and semi-rural environments. We have a diverse range of families in terms of socio/economic status, life style and employment positions. We have students who can walk to school while as many as 180 have to catch school buses. Over the past few years we have seen a shift in the cultural background of many of our incoming students. We have therefore celebrated Harmony Day each year to celebrate this growing diversity. We understand our community expects the students to be given the opportunity to explore their capacities across a very broad curriculum so we expect the students to be engaged in a full range of activities and programs that take in academic, social, emotional, creative and physical needs. We also recognize that technology, problem solving and team work skills are essential for modern students SCHOOL PURPOSE Our purpose is for each student to meet their full potential through a supportive school environment and the learning program. Our desire is that we are a dynamic institution implementing an outcomes based education utilising all necessary human, technological and physical resources available to enhance student development. The school has high expectations on student behaviour and developing harmonious relationships and so students are expected to demonstrate the values implicit in the 'Flinders Student'. These include: As a person: Healthy, Self-accepting, Determined, Creative, Responsible and Appreciative As a learner: Strives for excellence, Reaches potential, Positive work ethic, Critical and Understanding of self As a Community member: Respectful, Tolerant, Responsible, Safe, Environmentally responsible, Law abiding and provides service.SCHOOL DECISION MAKING The School Council has operated since 2002.

| Lovely manners of the students. Great to see so many male teachers in comparison to other local schools. | Bullying.But not isolated to only this school. Also, need to remember that school is for learning and not just for sport-More emphasis on this would reduce the bullying! | Vast majority of teachers have their students best interests at heart. Small percentage of teachers don't even seem to like children, let alone be actually teaching them!! | ||
