All About Us: A Description of Bli Bli State School

Bli Bli is situated approximately 10 kms east of Nambour and 10 kms north of Maroochydore. Originally a sugar cane area, Bli Bli is now a growing residential area. The community is characterized by a mix of professional and trades people, farmers and workers in the coast service industries. The vast majority of students and parents are of an English speaking background.

We currently have approximately 617 students attending the school from Prep to Year 7. There are 21 primary classroom teaching groups and 4 Prep Classes, as well as specialist teachers in Music, Physical Education, Library, LOTE (Italian) and a Learning Support Centre with an STLD on site. A Guidance Officer visits weekly.

An active Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community works closely with the school and a school Chaplain has been appointed to work with children.

The large variety of students' abilities is catered for in the schools curricula. The school operates under a combination of single year level classes and cooperative (open area) arrangements to cater for student's individual learning needs and effective pedagogy.

The school has an outstanding record in cultural and sporting pursuits as well as established instrumental music groups and choirs. In addition to weekly PE lessons, all children in Years 2 to 7 are actively involved in weekly sports/games sessions ranging from modified games to interschool sports.  For a number of years now Bli Bli SS has been one of the top ranked schools in the Sunshine Coast region for supplying regional sport representatives. Students are also given the opportunity to participate in lunch hour dance and chess club activities, which are organised by the teachers.

The school strives to continually meet the current needs of the community and to develop productive partnerships with community organizations. Regular and well-attended Parents and Citizens meetings are held and the school operates an active Student Council.

Our school has developed partnerships with local council groups, community groups and environmental agencies.
