At our most recent board meeting Sally Grylls-Thomas (Deputy Principal) presented an analysis of the 2019 achievement results in the core areas of reading, writing and maths.

Below is an overview of the gains our students made during 2019.

Achievement Data
This image reflects the results of our Year 2-6 students, as our Year 0/1 students are reported on differently due to limited time at school.

Celebrating Progress
To move from a curriculum level below expectation to a level that is at/above expectation requires a student to make accelerated progress (progress over and above what would be reasonably expected in one year).

The shifts in reading and maths show an excellent level of accelerated progress with some huge gains by our students.

What’s Working Well?
Our achievement results (particularly levels of accelerated progress) provide strong evidence to support our innovative approach to teaching and learning. 

As a new school we designed our approach to teaching and learning on the latest research and evidence.

On The Radar
As a decile 10 school unfortunately our Govt. funding targeted for learning support is very minimal (only $12,500 for our roll of close to 300 learners). Fortunately we are very resourceful and creative and are funding learning support of well in excess of $100,000 (specific support focused on meeting the needs of ALL learners eg smaller class sizes, curriculum resources/equipment plus also targeted supports for students learning English or with learning, behaviour, social/emotional or health needs)

This is where the voluntary school donation is helpful, and we appreciate any support here.
