Our school has a proud, rich heritage that extends back 163years. As the newly appointed Principal of MCSS, I am looking to bring about positive change and growth in our school with a commitment to long term leadership.
The strong foundation of multigenerational enrolments, partnered with dedicated long-term staff, a committed P&C, supportive families and kind, caring students will form the basis for growth. I am committed to forming productive community partnerships that will support the students of Central to be active and informed citizens.
Our newly developed partnerships with Maryborough- Sunrise Rotary and Mary Inc. are testament to the support a community can offer a school. As a pilar in the heritage city, our location to the centre of town and longest serving school in the Wide Bay has us named 'The Mary Poppins School of Maryborough.'
With a strong commitment to the Departments vision of 'equity and excellence,' we strive to make this vision a reality for our students. We foster a love of learning, build kind and caring students and share successes through celebration and recognition for those who do the work.
In Prep to Year 2 we are starting strong strengthening the connection to school to improve outcomes and make positive impacts on the first years of school. In Years 3-6 we are building on the foundation from P-2. Consolidation of the foundational years ensures students are geared to be lifelong learners with the confidence they need to thrive in their high school years. Our strong partnership with the adjoining high school (Maryborough State High School) sees a seamless transition for our students setting them up to be 'on track for success.'
I look forward to welcoming you into our school and value your contribution to making our school a vision of educational success.
Mrs Rebecca Dickens
