Principal's Welcome

Cockle Bay School has a long and proud history of educating children in the local area. There is a strong spirit of community, with supportive parents and students who arrive at school ready to learn. Our students are happy and enthusiastic. For much of its rich history Cockle Bay School has been served well by its touchstone values of continuous improvement, caring and collaboration, and has celebrated its successes.

The school provides high quality teaching and learning programmes within a caring environment for 720 – 830 students. Each is recognised as an individual, with their learning and wellbeing at the heart of all we do. Every student who attends our school has strengths, and it is our role and responsibility to provide an environment where these can be discovered and nurtured.
