Social Emotional Learning

In their Social Emotional Learning class, Year 8 students focused on building self-belief in themselves. 8N engaged in some shared reading led by the enthusiastic Tarun. He then followed up with reflection questions that asked his peers to analyse their own experiences and share with others. This activity illustrates student voice being used to increase student engagement, builds connection and a sense of belonging at school.

Shared reading is also a literacy strategy that supports the teaching of oral language, phonological awareness, vocabulary, fluency and comprehension.

Nationally consistent collection of data on school students with disability – 2024

Our school is participating in the collection of nationally consistent data on school students with a disability.

This involves the collection of information already available in the school about the support that is being provided to students with disabilities and/or students requiring additional support. This will help the Government better plan for students who need educational adjustments.

The NSW Department of Education will provide data to the Australian Government from all NSW public schools in such a way that no individual student or school will be able to be identified. In this way, we will ensure the privacy and confidentiality of all students.

All information is protected by privacy laws which regulate the collection, storage and disclosure of personal information. Information about the Australian Government’s Privacy Policy can be found here: http://education.gov.au/condensed-privacy-policy. Information about the NSW Government’s privacy policies can be found here: https://www.ipc.nsw.gov.au/privacy.
