Dear Parents/Carers
Merinda State School has provided education to the students of Merinda, Bowen and surrounding areas since opening in 1898. The school has a long tradition of providing quality education, excellent sporting opportunites and strong community
engagement.
Merinda State School is committed to achieving quality learning outcomes
for all students. Our Prep to Year 6 curriculum is based on the mandated
Australian Curriculum Guidelines. The school provides programs for extension of
high achieving students, early intervention programs, literacy and reading
intervention and special needs support.
Parents play a vital role in helping their student to achieve to their
potential and at Merinda State School we encourage parental participation
in the education process. Encouraging students to read daily, complete
homework, assignments and assessment pieces are vital areas of parental support
for learning. Another way to assist your child and others is to play an active
role in the Parents and Citizens’ Association which has a long successful
history of supporting students in Merinda.
Thank you for choosing Merinda State School and we look forward to
assisting your student to achieve their potential.
Yours faithfully
Ryan Gilmour
Acting Principal
