Principal's Message

School Review

Week 3 is the beginning of our triennial review. There will be three onsite days where a panel that consists of an independent reviewer, Senior Education Improvement Leader, two school principal challenge partners and our School Council President, spend time learning about our school. They will undertake classroom observations, attend feedback forums with staff, students and community members and spend time looking through documentation and evidence to see what has been happening at Hillsmeade since 2021 (the last review year). Once the revision part has taken place and they have a current reality of where Hillsmeade is at, the panel then assists the leadership team to construct goals and targets for the next three years, which will become our whole school strategic plan.

We are really looking forward to working with the review panel, learning from them and listening to their feedback to help us plan forward.

I will update the community further once the process has been completed and we have a clear vision moving forward.

A big thank you to our families who have been able to participate in the feedback sessions!
