As the Foundation Principal of Baringa State Secondary College it is my privilege to welcome you to our College. As the College heads into its fourth year, we are very proud of our place as an important part of the developing Aura community. In 2025, we look forward to welcoming our new cohort of Year 7 students and continuing to welcome students to our current cohorts which will extend to Year 8, Year 9, Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 for the first time which forms the completion of all year levels in our secondary college.
Inspired by providing engaging, challenging and inclusive curriculum opportunities for students, our College prepares our students to be critical and creative thinkers who are intellectually robust and equipped to contribute positively to their community and society as a whole.
Our College is a place for everybody, where everybody is valued and respected. A place where excellence in teaching and learning empowers everyone to be confident, creative and aspirational about their chosen future. We embrace every student and share the common belief that every child deserves the very best education possible, to enhance their opportunity for success in life, whatever that may look like for them.
We empower all students to embrace learning and achieve their potential whilst strengthening their emotional, social and physical well-being.
At Baringa State Secondary College we provide a warm and supportive environment in which all children can grow with confidence. Our staff are passionate professionals who are committed to helping students achieve their potential, no matter what it takes, where the well-being and positive educational outcomes for every student is at the core of everything that we do.
One of our greatest strengths is the partnerships we foster between students, staff, parents and the wider community. These partnerships enable us to work together in achieving our commitment to providing inclusive, engaging and challenging education for every student.
We are very proud of the foundation work that has been undertaken in our first years of the College, and are excited about meeting you and welcoming you to our College.
