Mawarra Independent School is a not for profit, incorporated association located in Kybong – part of the beautiful Cooloola Shire, Queensland. We are an Independent School accredited to deliver the Australian Curriculum from Foundation Year to Year 10. We are non-sectarian and are not affiliated with any other educational institution. The school is governed by a voluntary Management Committee and includes members of the school and local community working together with the principal in areas of governance and compliance.

We are an intentionally small, child-centred school which offers an integrated curriculum in a multi-age, inclusive learning environment ensuring accessibility for all children regardless of ability or cultural background.

As Principal, I take great pride in the environment in which we meet to learn at Mawarra. Our team of teachers, teacher aides and administrative staff combine to provide a safe, nurturing, and supportive learning environment for all students, guiding our next generation in how to treat others, by modelling compassion, understanding and respect for all. It is this that makes Mawarra what it is - a place where students - and staff - want to be - a place where learning is exciting and messy and fun!
