Each school is subjected to an external validation process every four years. This is a requirement for all schools in NSW and is a component of the school’s performance accountability process. There are fourteen elements assessed to determine an on-balance decision as to the level the school is performing at.

In 2020, BHNPS undertook the process of External Validation.

The result was that out of the 14 areas, BHNPS has been validated to be performing at excelling in 8 of the fourteen areas with the panel recommending that we should adjust a further two elements to the excelling level (we declined this as we did not feel we were quite there yet). The other areas remained at sustaining and growing but moving towards excelling. This is a great result for the school and a testament to the hard work undertaken by everyone in the last few years to ensure our students are being provided an outstanding educational service here at Baulkham Hills North. I acknowledge and give a big pat on the back to the school executive team who spent the last several months preparing the submission.

We have provided in the link to the video we showed at the opening of the panel meeting to showcase our school. I’m sure you’ll be very proud of this amazing school while you watch it.
