Schools receive an annual resource package for the purpose of providing educational programs for students throughout that year. Schools may also receive other funding from the Department as well as receiving income from other sources. Generally, like the resource package, these funds should be used in the year that they are received. However, in some circumstances, schools may need to carry funds over from one year to the next. A reasonable carry over is 25% of a school's annual resourcing package. As at January 31 2009, Edith Creek Primary School has carried over the equivalent of 99% of its annual resourcing package. Schools also receive additional funding to help reduce early years class sizes. The average class size at Edith Creek Primary School for groups containing Prep and Year 1 students is 19.

SchoolStatement: Edith Creek Primary School. At Edith Creek Primary our purpose is to provide an excellent academic education for our students, being one which develops their talents and capacities to full potential and is relevant to the social, cultural and economic needs both locally and nationally. We foster in children: confidence, self-esteem, skills and capabilities, desire to continue learning through life. We recognise parents as the child's first educators and believe in creating partnerships to optimise the child's learning. We have a responsibility to inform parents about our teaching practices and about their child's progress. At Edith Creek Primary we provide a nurturing equitable environment in which children may grow and learn, confident of their acceptance as an individual. Our school community is committed to continually strive for excellence in the education we provide for our students and staff.
