Our School Review

An opportunity to have your say 

 

The Department of Education regularly reviews Queensland state schools and our school is scheduled for a review this year. 

 

Our school has been selected to undertake a school-led review which will enable us as a school community to lead the reflection on what is working well and what we could be doing better. We will use the information from this review to inform our next school strategic plan. 

 

A school-led review consists of 2 phases: 

            • evaluation conducted by the school 

            • validation conducted by School and Region Reviews (SRR). 

 

Firstly, across Terms 1 and 2, we will be conducting our own evaluation. This will include speaking with staff, parents and key stakeholders. We will use the School Improvement Tool as an independent guide for the evaluation. 

 

Following the school-led evaluation, the department’s SRR team will validate the school’s evaluation. The validation team will visit our school on 21 and 22 July 2025 (Week 2, Term 3) to engage in conversations with a cross-section of staff, students, parents and community members. They will also analyse school data and peruse a range of documents to produce a report for our school community. 

 

Key findings from the review will be made available to parents and the community on our school website. 

 

We would like to hear from our community throughout both phases of the review. I encourage anyone who is interested to have their say. Feedback can be provided by phone or in person. All feedback remains confidential. Your feedback is important and will help us continue to deliver a great education for our students. 

 

Please contact the school office and speak to the Deputy Principals assistant if you are interested in participating. 

 

More information about the review process is available from the department’s website at schoolreviews.education.qld.gov.au.
