Wooli Public School had an external validation in 2020, as a result of this two key areas
were identified to guide our future planning cycle. These two focus areas will be our two
strategic directions for 2021-2024. School targets and Department of Education targets will
be addressed in the following strategic directions:
Strategic Direction 1 - Student Growth and Attainment
Data skills and use
To build teacher capacity in ensuring data collection is used to differentiate curriculum,
inform teaching and provide feedback to students so that learning is maximised for all.
Curriculum
We will continue to ensure that all teaching programs promote explicit teaching and visible
learning elements, as well as describing expected student progression in knowledge,
understanding and skill and the assessments that measure them. We will utilise feedback
for future curriculum planning, and engage a greater number of parents and carers in the
planning process to support student learning. We will continue to provide staff with
opportunities to attend high quality and relevant professional learning in curriculum delivery.
Educational leadership
Leadership, including instructional leadership, a high expectations culture and performance
management and development, will be a major focus of our next three-year plan. We feel it
is important to provide more targeted opportunities for Professional Learning to support
teachers with new curriculum expectations.

Strategic Direction 2-Wellbeing
Wellbeing
To ensure that all of our students are able to connect, succeed, thrive and learn we will
continue to have a planned approach to developing whole school wellbeing processes that
support high levels of wellbeing and engagement.
The Wellbeing framework will be embedded into our school culture. Professional learning of
wellbeing strategies to support all our students will be a priority.
This plan has been shared with our P&C at our regular meetings as well as being emailed
to all parties.
