Regents
Park State School is situated in the western corridor of Logan City on Emerald
Drive, Regents Park. The student population comes from a diverse range of
socio- economic and cultural backgrounds. It is a co-educational school
with about 560 students in year levels Prep to Year 6. A number of
students present with a non-English speaking background which necessitates
working with our English as a Second Language Teacher on intensive language
programs. Our school also caters for students with disabilities.
We have a whole school focus on continuous
improvement through students being 'in class, on task and learning' as we
implement sequential focused teaching and learning lessons. Curriculum programs
for Years Prep to 6 are developed around the Australian Curriculum of English,
Mathematics, Science, History, Geography and Health. Cooperative Teacher Teams
plan English, Mathematics, Science and Humanities unit plans with specific work
undertaken in all learning areas, each teaching year level identifying a
teacher to lead each of the teaching/learning areas. We have a Two Deputy Principals, a Head of Department (Curriculum) and an Inclusive Support Team that ensure teacher knowledge and application of the Learning Areas of English, Mathematics,
Science, Humanities and Information Communication Technologies.
Sport and Health is considered an integral
and important of all children's development, with a specialist PE teacher
teaching all year levels. Each year students participate in Athletics Carnivals
and Cross Country. Prep to Year 3 receive swimming lessons with Year 4 to Year 6 participating in a surf swim day for beach safety. Throughout the year a number of other opportunities
arise for students to participate in physical, cultural and artistic activities including gala days, district sport, musical competitions, digital technology competitions and environmental awareness.
All members of the school community are
encouraged to see themselves as active leaders across many aspects of school
organisation. In accordance with the school’s values and beliefs, a wide
range of opportunities is provided for students and staff to develop in many
different areas and in a very supportive environment. We elect Student Leadership team inclusive of School Captains and Vice Captains to lead our Student Leadership body. Sports House and Vice Captains, Music Captains, ICT Captains, Environmental Champions, First Nations Champions and four Student Councillors all form a vital part of our Student Leadership Team. Students from Prep
to Year 3 are chosen as Class Captain each term. and students in Year 4 -6 can be elected as a Student Councillor. They perform leadership
roles in their classrooms at an appropriate level and provide their ideas to the Student Council Meeting. Student
Leaders in Year 6 are automatically members of the Student Council for the full
year. Our school enjoys strong community support through the Parents and
Citizens Association volunteers, classroom volunteers, and the operation of a
healthy teaching and learning environment.
