Education QLDÂ introduces Cable Beach Primary School in Broome, for all your education and learning needs.
The staff at Cable Beach Primary School, in partnership with parents and the community, will create a school culture with students striving to attain essential academic, artistic and sporting skills while developing a caring and respectful attitude that fosters good citizenship.
The school community decided in 1990 to have ‘Respect’ as its major ethos. Staff and parents listed 179 ‘ideas’ as worthwhile values for children to aspire to. One family together wrote the current Creed from those ideas.
The school emblem has special significance. Ideas for this were gathered from staff and parents. Local artist and, at the time, parent of the school, Chris Hill, put these ideas into art form. The outer rim represents the cable that joined Indonesia to Australia, the emu (bijarda) and its foot prints represent an important story for Aboriginal people, the palm trees, ocean and sun depict the climate of Broome. The school colour of turquoise was chosen to represent the colour of the ocean in this region.
