STRATEGIC
PLANNING MEETING
As
you would have read in the invite your child gave you – our school Strategic
Planning Meeting is being held at Sacred Heart on the 30th October
(6:30pm).
Our
strategic plan is used to set the direction of the school for the next three
years, school management sets our annual goals based on what the community
decides to put into the strategic plan. A
few examples of ideas that were raised and given support at the last meeting,
and subsequently followed through in the Strategic Plan or in direct changes in
practice are:
1.
High
standards of literacy and numeracy/thorough basis in core subjects
Over
the past 3 years the BoT and School Management have continued to focus on the
performance of all students in Reading, Writing and Mathematics. We have had a
literacy focus for staff professional development and this year have extended
our middle literacy block to two hours.
2. Longer Reporting to Parents
meetings
Our
reporting to parents meetings have changed from 10 to 15 minute slots. We have
had staff meetings dedicated to ensuring we have clear and accurate reports.
3. Cultural Understanding and
Participation
We
have continued to explore the cultures within our school, we are now
celebrating more language weeks and have plans to continue to bring the
cultures of all students into the day to day life of our school
To
ensure that you come to the meeting fully prepared – the main areas of
discussion are outlined below. We will be working in smaller groups and
