Our vision
Our shared vision is that every student at Mapleton State School succeeds and receives the support they need to belong to the Mapleton school community, engages purposefully in learning and experiences academic success (Every Student Succeeding – State Schools Strategy 2018-2022).
Inclusion
Mapleton State School values inclusive education. Underpinning this policy is the belief that our students should have maximum access to the curriculum presented in the classroom. This policy recognises and values the skills of the classroom teachers in supporting students with special educational needs.
As outlined in the Inclusive Education Policy Statement of the Queensland Department of Education:
Students experience inclusive education when they can access and fully participate in learning, alongside their similar-aged peers, supported by reasonable adjustments and teaching strategies tailored to meet their individual needs. Inclusion is embedded in all aspects of school life, and is supported by culture, policies and every day practices.
We strive to enable every student at Mapleton to succeed.
