PHS Site Review

Dear Parents,

As part of our continuous school improvement process, we will be involved in an external school review with a Department for Education review panel.

The purpose of external school reviews is to support us to raise achievement, sustain high performance and provide quality assurance to build public confidence in government schools.

All government schools are externally reviewed every 3 years.

The focus of the external school review is to evaluate our school’s performance. The review panel includes a review officer and a trained review principal. Our school review will occur on Tuesday 15th of September.

The review panel will identify aspects of our school’s improvement that have been verified through the review processes, as well as the improvements that we need to make in the future.

During the external school review, some students, parents, governing council members and staff will be asked to provide information to the review panel in a number of ways.

These include:

individual interviews
group discussions (with students or staff or parents)
meetings (governing council, staff meeting)
visits into classrooms.

We appreciate everyone’s support and time in helping us with this external school review process.

Please complete the reply slip below and return to the front office if you do not want your child to participate.

If you would like more information please contact Sonja Mercer on 86 512 306.

Please return the note below or call PHS on 86 512 306 if you would not like your child involved in external school review discussions.
