Welcome to Sunbury State School
(click for a photo story by Steve Meaby)
Welcome to Sunbury
State School. We are a primary school providing a quality education for all
students from Prep through to year 7. Our school draws its enrolment mostly
from the outlying Maryborough areas of Oakhurst Gardens, Yengarie, Aldershot, as
well as the local suburbs of Baddow and Sunbury. Our school serves a diverse
community which is made up of families who have made lifestyle choices to live
on small acreage allotments, farming families, families who live in housing
commission homes as well as families who own their own homes.
We enjoy a cohesive community where we all work together to achieve the best
for students. We celebrate success and diversity and recognise that different
people work in different ways. Positive relationships with students and their
families maximise learning outcomes. Students recognise that they are part of a
school community and that our school community is part of the wider and global
communities.
