Mission, Vision & Values

Cobden Technical School’s vision is reflected in the initials ‘CTS – Committed to Students…. Committed to Success.’ Cobden Technical School is committed to improving student learning outcomes, engagement, and wellbeing by providing a high-quality, inclusive education that supports all students to reach their full potential. 

Cobden Technical School mission is to develop successful outcomes for students, whether in the pursuit of high-level academic achievement or the development of specific vocational skills. These, along with opportunities for sporting, cultural, environmental and artistic involvement, are able to develop in a school with clear, strong connections to the community and industry at both the local and regional level.

Cobden Technical School prides itself on understanding and acknowledging that its students, staff and community are its greatest strength and resource. The strong relationships that exist within the school itself and between the school and the wider community have led to wonderful outcomes. 

Cobden Technical School is a place where everyone is welcome and encouraged to strive for success while appreciating the importance of lifelong learning

Cobden Technical School’s values are represented by the HEART acronym – Honesty, Excellence, Accountability, Respect and Teamwork.

Through these values, we promote a climate of building respectful relationships, respecting oneself and others, and taking responsibility for one’s actions. Through these values, we support and affirm the principles of Australian democracy, including (i) elected Government; (ii) the rule of law; (iii) equal rights for all before the law; (iv) freedom of religion; (v) freedom of speech and association; (vi) the values of openness and tolerance. We strongly believe that a sense of humour, and an environment where learning is enjoyable, are central to the development of these values.
