School: Woongoolba State School Program: 'We are leaders' Nestled among canefields between Beenleigh and the Gold Coast, Woongoolba State School boasts a proud reputation among its community and it's spent the past two years working to do things even better. The school's motto that 'we are leaders' puts each child, teacher and parent in the driver's seat when it comes to taking responsibility for learning and it's working. By identifying different learning styles in Prep, teachers set individual curriculum goals for every student to map a journey of learning, with almost half in every grade now meeting or exceeding their year level benchmark. http://education.qld.gov.au/community/events/showcase/index.html Attribution: © State of Queensland, (Department of Education) (unless indicated otherwise) The Queensland University of Technology 2013 Showcase Award for Excellence in Leadership: Woongoolba
