About our school

Mimosa Public School's mission is 'foundations for the future'.

This mission statement is defined by 9 vision statements:

  • Personal engagement as learners.
  • A curriculum that personally engages children to be enthusiastic and motivated learners.
  • Providing a flexible learning environment, which caters for individuals.
  • Children are empowered and equipped with the skills to engage with change and build a positive future.
  • Personal growth.
  • Children focus on individual responsibility to value themselves, others and the wider community.
  • Children have high self-esteem and build positive relationships with teachers and peers.
  • Effective partnerships.
  • A collaborative energy of staff, parents and children that encourages, values and motivates best practice.

The strategic plan has provided clear direction to all of our programs encompassing the work of teachers, children and parents. The strategic plan has also provided an important context for the enriched curriculum, which is an important feature of our school and is a tool for which excellence is achieved and motivation sustained.

Our School Song

There’s a place that I know, where the gum trees grow,

and the wattle bushes sway with the banskia.

Where the sunlight glows on happy faces who all know,

It’s the place where children grow, Mimosa!

It’s a school we respect, it’s our learning nest

where we learn about the things that will matter,

Where the parents and the staff, all work on our behalf,

to ensure that we all grow, at Mimosa!

This the place where we belong, our school Mimosa,

This is the place where we learn and love, our school Mimosa,

Our talent is known for miles around,

The laughter here has the sweetest sound,

This is the place where quality’s found, our school, Mimosa!

There’s a place that I know where the gum trees grow,

and the wattle bushes sway with the banksia.

Where the sunlight glows on happy children who all know,

That’s the place where children grow, Mimosa!

It’s the place where children grow, Mimosa!
