Our school has a primary role in supporting the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of all our children within a fair,
safe, socially cohesive and intellectually engaging environment.
Charlton State School aims to provide a well balanced, individualized education catering for the needs of every student from prep
to year 7, striving for best practice in a small school family environment utilizing the advantages of a multi-age educational setting.
Individual programs (with one on one attention as needed) are designed for children utilising both physical and human resources to
meet their needs. Children are grouped according to their learning needs rather than their year level in English and Mathematics.
At Charlton, the children’s disposition for learning and the pursuit of excellence in all undertakings are the highest priorities. Effort
is rewarded and individualism and success celebrated. An investigative approach to learning is a key feature of the programs we
provide. Skills and knowledge are taught explicitly and then the children are required to use this learning in a purposeful way to
complete a real life or life-like task. Children find this approach more meaningful and motivating.
