About this job

About the School

Emerald North State School was opened in 1980 as a result of the expansion in the coal mining industry in Emerald. The school experienced massive enrolment growth in its early years. In the late 1990's the enrolment stabilised.

Enrolment is still significantly affected by issues in the coal mining industry, but the school population now reflects a cross section of the community. The move to twelve-hour shifts for many workers has impinged greatly on parents' ability to assist in school activities.

Shift work also has a major impact on the social and family lives of many students. With the industry facing a future largely determined by international pricing trends, the uncertainty of employment longevity is also a major factor.
