Welcome to Norfolk Village State School. The school has a student population of 650 students and is located at the Northern end of the Gold Coast. NVSS first opened in 2009 and across the years has enjoyed a very positive name within the wider community.
Our school motto, 'Creative Confident Committed' reflects our desire for all students to develop into productive learners and citizens. The school works hard on developing strong connections within and beyond the school gate. Our Norfolk Angel volunteers reflect the strong importance we place on partnering with families and ensuring parents/carers are key stakeholders within our school community. We pride ourselves on being a school for the whole community.
The school has a very clear explicit improvement agenda that focuses on the three priority areas of:
1. Educational Achievement – English Explicit Instruction
2. Wellbeing and Engagement - Positive Behaviour for Learning and Reboot
3. Culture and Inclusion – A culture of high expectations
At Norfolk we aim to continually improve the culture of learning and the outcomes that children achieve. At the core of all we do is the Norfolk Village State School Multi-Tiered System of Support - 'Supporting all students every day'. This tiered approach ensures the whole child is considered with a focus on: Academic, Behaviour and Social Emotional.
The school offers a range of curricular and extra-curricular programs to support the needs of every student. All staff are committed to creating a learning environment which further develops the learning and developmental needs of all our students, inclusive of individualised curriculum.
Norfolk State School's three school expectations of: I am Safe, I am Respectful, and I am a Learner are explicitly taught and reinforced across the school. This is further strengthened by our Reboot Program, enabling students to understand the many functions of their brain.
I look forward to partnering with you in your child's primary education journey.
Kind regards
Carmel Ord
