2024 Annual School Improvement Plan
The school’s 2023 School Review is used to guide and support the development of annual School Improvement plans. In 2023, an explicit instructional model aligned to structured Literacy and Maths blocks was implemented, as part of a collaborative endeavour, involving coaching, modelling, and peer review. The Wanguri playbook as well as Literacy, Numeracy and wellbeing Actions Plans were developed to ensure students received a low variance curriculum with an explicit, coherent, and sequenced plan for the learning. As part of the BSEM, clarity regarding the use of Brain breaks and Buddy Class was sort from individual teachers and further work in 2024 in this area, including PL for all teachers on BSEM will ensure all members of the school community are active in the wellbeing of our students.
In 2023 the schools NAPLAN data indicated:
- 51% of Year 3s were strong or exceeding in Reading; 61.5% of Year 5s were strong or exceeding in Reading.
- 5% of Year 3s were At or Above Maths; 61.5% of Year 5s were strong or exceeding in Maths.
In 2024, we will focus on improving outcomes in Literacy with the embedding of structured Literacy block which will be further strengthened by modelling and observing practice, professional learning and accessing and using data to:
- Deepen teachers’ knowledge of the Australian Curriculum version 9,
- Use formative assessment and feedback to target differentiation and inform next steps in teaching.
- Inform the quality of their practice and the impact on student learning.
- To strengthen student engagement and wellbeing will we provide safe and predictable classrooms with consistent routines, expectations, and behavioural standards.
In 2023, 45% of students agreed or strongly agreed that student behaviour is well managed at this school. (school survey)
