Welcome to Kalgoorlie School of the Air
Principal’s Welcome
It is both a privilege and a joy to lead such a unique and proud school community, and to be part of your child’s learning journey across the vast and varied landscapes of Western Australia and beyond.
At Kalgoorlie SOTA, we are committed to providing a learning environment where every student feels a strong sense of belonging, where they are known, supported and encouraged to achieve their personal best. Our school is built on the values of safety, inclusivity and high expectations for both achievement and behaviour.
We believe every child matters. Our school motto, “Seek the Best” is reflected in everything we do. We strive to deliver high-quality, engaging learning experiences that support the academic, creative, physical, and social development of our students, preparing them to thrive in a changing world.
Distance education is a partnership and we deeply value the important role that parents and home tutors play in supporting our students. Through ongoing communication, collaboration, and mutual respect, we work together to ensure each child succeeds.
Our School Council and our dedicated Parents and Citizens play a vital role in making our school the heart of our widespread community.
