to 25% of the current enrolment. We have two EAL/D students. Our FOEI is 135 and ICSEA
934 identifying us as a low socio-economic rural school demographic. Previously, the
strategic directions of 'successful learners' and 'quality teaching,' focused on continual
whole school improvement.
Through our situational analysis, we have identified the need for a continued emphasis on
embedding quality teaching practices in literacy and numeracy. Using visual learning
principles we will provide opportunities to improve teacher practice and ensure students can
monitor and achieve expected growth and attainment in their learning.
There will be a strong focus on whole school community knowledge, understanding and use
of effective practices and strategies to support student wellbeing. CESE, research and
literature relates sports and physical activity with its relationship to wellbeing. There is a
clear positive association between physical activity and wellbeing outcomes for students.
Future-focused inclusive environments will promote student engagement in learning
activities.
