At Rasmussen State School we expect all children to be well behaved, naturally curious and have a desire to learn. Emphasis is placed on fostering favourable attitudes to learning and developing skills in literacy, numeracy, and communication as well as those physical and social skills that will allow each child to take his/her place in the present and future society, our school caters for individual aspirations and creativity, equity and social justice. We encourage children to be self-reliant, self-disciplined and self-motivated. We further encourage them to have pride in achieving an acceptable standard, resulting in self-assurance and confidence, thus allowing them to cope with life in a complex changing society. Our mission is to recognise the specific needs of our children within a changing society and provide for each child a comprehensive education of the highest quality to meet those needs.
