place to meet these goals. Our whole

school PM benchmark reading levels (Prep to Year 6)
- 100% of students Above the
National Minimum Standard in NAPLAN reading and writing tests

- Safe, supportive, classroom
learning environments (OneSchool data entries)
How do we do this….
- Consistent high expectations
– of ourselves and our students
- Strong research base driving
our teaching and learning practices
- Developing capability in our
teachers – professional development, peer collaboration, coaching, mentoring,
feedback,
- Using Evidence to drive all
decisions (school, classroom, individual students)
- Collaboration – working
together
