| Moorine Rock Primary School is located 22 kms west of Southern Cross on Route 94 in the Yilgarn Shire. Moorine Rock is a small town, which services farmers in the area. It has a hotel with motel units, post office, oval, tennis courts and a community hall. The current enrolment is 45 students in two classes ranging from Kindergarten to Year 7. The school is serviced by three bus runs that collect students from the Mt Hampton, Bodallin and Moorine Rock districts with 87% of children using these services. The district that feeds the Moorine Rock Primary School is an agricultural area of mainly wheat/sheep farming and the parents of the school students are stable with little itinerancy. Of the 24 families, 23 are involved in agriculture. The facilities at Moorine Rock Primary School are continually being improved with an upgrade of the Junior classroom in 2002 to allow for an increase in numbers at the Junior Primary level. In 2004 we purchased a classroom that doubles as a Year 6-7 classroom and an Arts room. In 2006 an undercover area and some covered walkways were completed. Our future plans include a covered lunch area for use in the heat or rain. The buildings and grounds are well established and well maintained with extensive playground equipment for all ages. This provides an excellent educational environment for students and staff. Students study a full range of subjects across the eight learning areas. For LOTE, the Year 3-7 students learn the Indonesian language through telematics via SIDE in Perth. This year we have a specialist teacher in the area of Health & Physical Education. Moorine Rock Primary School has a strong commitment to values throughout the curriculum and uses a school-based program based on the Virtues Project. The school plan currently has two priorities areas. These are Spelling in the English area and Health & Physical Education with a focus on Thinking Skills. The role of the Moorine Rock Primary School in our community is to provide a small caring school that fosters community spirit and stability in order to develop student potential and achieve competence academically, socially and physically so that they may perform successfully and confidently in the local community and in readiness for the wider environment. | ||||
