Message from the Principal Team
Week 6 Already!
Term 4 has absolutely flown by. At this time of year, while the teaching staff are finalising the Semester 2 Student Reports, the Principal Team have been reflecting on the 2023 Annual Implementation Plan and the Goals and Targets that we have set to achieve during the course of the year. We have also continued to analyse the data sets to plan for continuous school improvement and set targets for 2024. These data sets include:
- NAPLAN
- Victorian Curriculum Teacher Judgement
- Student Attitude to School Survey Years 4-6
- Staff Opinion Survey
- Parent Opinion Survey
