SCHOOL PROGRESS REPORT
This week we received our School Performance Report for 2024. It was fantastic to see the hard work of our school acknowledged by being favourably compared against similar schools. We scored highly in Reading and Numeracy due to our Year 5 Naplan results, and we are improving in our % of students with At or Above expected growth in Teacher Judgement (Years 1-6) in the Reading progression point. Next week our School Improvement Team will work on our Annual Implementation Plan for 2025. Areas for focus will include, our consolidation of our EPS Instructional Model and student Wellbeing; further improving student voice and agency and emotional awareness and self-regulation.
