Jundah State School is situated 217klm south west of Longreach in Outback Queensland and is surrounded by sheep and cattle grazing properties. Most of our students come from the town itself which is the administrative centre of the Barcoo Shire - the second largest shire in Queensland.
Jundah State School is also a member of the Outback Advantage Group, which is a cluster of Band 5 schools with teaching principals in the Longreach Area. At Jundah there are two teacher aide's, Kay Woods and Kari Bags, and our fantastic grounds-lady/cleaner Gayle. The team here at Jundah believe that there are many advantages in being educated in small, rural multi-age schools.
There are currently 13 students at Jundah State School with various ages and ability levels. This year (2011) enrolments stand at:
Year 1: one student
Year 2: two students
Year 3: two students
Year 5: two students
Year 6: three students
Year 7: three students
I’m looking forward to learning how to manage so many age groups in the same classroom at the same time! Nikki has been a fantastic mentor and is very thorough in her teaching, learning, assessing, reflecting cycle. I’m really looking forward to working with her over the coming weeks.
