Why choose our school?
Our school, which includes students, parents, staff and the wider Torbanlea community, all have the best interests of the children at heart.
Torbanlea State School has a long history of excellence and high standing in the community. Although the school has maintained its growth, it has maintained that 'country school' feel, characterised by its friendliness and close community spirit.
Our school develops students with character and a strong set of values to take into their futures.
The Torbanlea school motto of 'Honour and Truth' is central to the expectations of how both students and staff operate. Our school key values of Safety, Effort, Respect and Self-Responsibility are explicitly taught to students, with high expectations set for positive behaviours for learning.
Our distinctive curriculum offerings include an underlying program to check and develop the essential skills of literacy and numeracy, and an extensive early-intervention program which screens students for speech, physical activity (ie fine and gross motor skills, visual perception etc).
We also offer an Excellence Program for students identified for extension in English and mathematics. Specialist teachers deliver Physical Education, Music, Chinese, Library skills
and Digital Technology lessons each week. Students in the upper grades are encouraged to participate in sporting gala days and provided with opportunities for selection as sporting representatives.
