Teacher History - Guyra Central School

Guyra Central School provides high quality, future focused, and personalised learning and teaching. We are a Kindergarten to Year 12 educational setting, fostering a culture of high expectations, wellbeing, and achievement for all. The school has a current enrolment of 318 students, including 32% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.

Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) has a high profile and impacts significantly within the school to address student wellbeing and consequently, student learning outcomes.

Guyra Central School is in its third year as a Big Picture Education learning facility. Big Picture Education runs parallel to our mainstream curriculum, providing our 7-12 students with an alternative learning mode. Our Big Picture students do not follow the HSC pathway, with an option to enter university through portfolio. We currently have 46 students across our three Big Picture Advisory classes.

The school is well resourced with technology and state of the art learning facilities including a Trade Skills Centre for Metals and Engineering, Science Block, sensory learning area, gymnasium, and productive Agricultural farm. A new commercial kitchen/hospitality hub will be completed during Semester 1 2023.

The school has a 1.2 allocation for an Assistant Principal, Curriculum and Instruction (APCI) a school social worker and in 2023 will appoint a K-12 Wellbeing Deputy Principal (ACIP) to work shoulder to shoulder with our existing K-12 Deputy Principal.
