Campania District School

Campania District School is a unique country school situated in the heart of the Coal River Valley. We offer programs from birth to year 12. Our LiL program provides opportunities to connect with our school and community prior to commencing kinder. Sessions are run to cater for the needs and interests of babies, toddlers, infants and their families. The LIFT program allows us to foster strong relationships through the early years of schooling. At Campania, our aim is to maintain these supportive relationships through to the end of formal education at the school, which from the start of 2017 has extended to Year 12. Research shows that a strong and supportive relationship between home and school is critical to each student achieving the best possible academic, social and emotional growth. At Campania students are at the centre of everything we do and our focus is on developing the whole person, to achieve this parent engagement is essential. We believe and live the philosophy that “It takes a village to raise a child”.
As a small school, we take pride in our ability to know our students and families well. These strong and positive relationships are vital to the provision of a differentiated curriculum and our capacity to follow up on any issues that may arise. Our niche is that small class sizes offers greater capacity to personalise learning and offer flexible learning provisions. Our strong focus on student wellbeing is also supported by the explicit teaching of social and emotional skills and is supported by our school dog, Lola, a beautiful Golden Retriever puppy.
Our students from prep to Grade 6 have classes in English, Maths, Science, HASS, LOTE (Grade 4-6) and Health and Physical Education. They also have specialist classes in Drama and Music (including our kinder students). Our secondary students have classes in Maths, Science, English, History, My Education/Work Skills and Health and Physical Education. They also have options classes in Design Technology, Outdoor Education, Food, Music, Drama, Dance, Robotics/STEM, Visual Art, LOTE, Automotive/Airbrushing and Kitchen Garden construction.
At Campania District School, we are part of the teggana Collective. We are working in partnership with Rosny College, Sorell School, Rose Bay High School, Clarence High School and Bay View Secondary College to provide the best possible pathway for each one of our students through years 11 and 12. Through the Collective, students can opt to complete all of their studies at one of these schools or through a number of the schools.
We are fortunate at Campania District School to have a strong and supportive School Association. Our Association plays an important role in shaping the direction of our school through the creation and ratification of school policy across a range of issues. As an association we are always looking for new members so if you are able to give up an hour or so a couple of evenings a term we would love to hear from you.
