This project aligned with strategic direction 3.1 of the 2021 - 2024 school plan. The team recognised that in the school there was an evidence informed culture established in classrooms, faculties and teams across the entire school and that an evidence book is to be used to collect all the data. The team worked to introduce forms of qualitative data analysis ultimately to support school wide data to support the faculties in their work.
The team achieved the following:
Staff members across the school have a much deeper understanding of:
How to choose and use evidence in their practice
How to use the following external evidence sets: Check-in assessment, minimum standards assessment, HSC assessment, NAPLAN, VALID, Tell them From Me (TTFM) survey.
How evidence can be used to identify ways to eliminate the lowest grades (E grades) and HSC Bands (1 and 2).
Published an exemplary annual report for 2022 based on detailed analysis of evidence.
The school now has overall evidence of excelling in 13 of the 14 School Excellence Framework elements and detailed evidence sets have been uploaded to SPaRO in preparation for external validation.
