Planning and Reporting

Planning and reporting help us meet the needs of our community, improve the quality of teaching and enhance outcomes for all of our students.

Strategic Improvement Plan

We have developed a Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) in consultation with our community, identifying student outcomes and connected to a budget.

The School Excellence Framework (SEF) underpins our school planning and reporting approach. The framework provides a clear description of the key elements of high-quality practice across learning, teaching and leading.

The SIP is a working document that details the steps our school will take to improve learning outcomes, and the achievement and growth of all students. To ensure continuous improvement, the SIP reflects where our school is at and how it will further improve learning, teaching and leading.  

It demonstrates our alignment and our commitment to excellence as part of public education in NSW to ensure a profound difference to the ongoing growth and development of our students.

SIP  (Visual Representation Summary)

This visual has been developed to assist the widespread understanding of our school vision and the collective efficacy of our school to strive for ongoing improvements; with students at the centre of everything we do.  The symbolism in our visual representation has been developed collaboratively with all staff to align to the SIP, using our school values, school motto, and nautical motifs of our beautiful natural landscapes in the Newcastle area.
