Built on Yuwibara Country, Plane Creek Provisional School opened the doors to students on August 5, 1897. 15 years later, in 1912, this school became known as Sarina State School. Sarina is a small, rural, coastal town supported by industries including sugar, coal, beef, fishing, railways and a small commercial sector. By and large our parent community works locally in semi-skilled and skilled trades to support those industries and associated services. Sarina State School is a coeducational primary school offering enrolments from Prep to Year 6. It is our school's belief that Curriculum, Pedagogy, Assessment and Reporting are closely interrelated and interdependent and we aim for our students to exit Year 6 with a balanced education that empowers students to meet the demands of secondary education and go on to become productive, contributing community members.
Quality pedagogical approaches is the cornerstone of our school as we all believe, “Every student deserves a great teacher, not by chance, but by design" (Fisher, Frey, Hattie).
At Sarina State School, students are surrounded by possibility and opportunity in many areas of academia, sport, technology, culture, and community responsibility. This environment, coupled with academic excellence, wellbeing and engagement and inclusive education challenges our students to dream big and aim high.
