This year, our school undertook self-assessment using the School Excellence Framework. The framework supportspublic schools throughout NSW in the pursuit of excellence by providing a clear description of high quality practiceacross the three domains of Learning, Teaching and Leading.
Our staff used the School Excellence Framework to inform, monitor and validate the progress and impact of our teachingand learning strategies throughout the year. We thoroughly examined the school plan to determine the elements of theSchool Excellence Framework that the plan most strongly addressed. Staff reflected on the progress being made acrossthe school based on the expectations identified in the Framework. This provides an important overview to ensure ourimprovement efforts align with these high level expectations. Our results were rated in three categories; Learning,Teaching and Leading.

This process was introduced in our middle school program so students know now know how toappropriately synthesise information about a problem, envisage a range of creative solutions to real world problems,develop a step by step plan and reflect critically on the process at each step. As a result students are learning to thinkindependently and have the ability to analyse and solve problems. Teachers collaborated to plan quality differentiatedlessons.
