Enter your reflective comments The School is certainly at the Evolving stage in all areas. As mention in other areas the school has put into place strong

foundations and now needs to ensure that processes and initiatives are built upon to achieve the desired outcomes. The

School has a well established PLT structure with all staff actively involved. We have well established buy in from all staff in

the key initiatives that have been introduced and established in the life time of the current Strategic Plan. Staff are eager to

develop their skills but have indicated in the Staff survey that Feedback is an element that needs further development.

Though students are engaged with the school, feel safe and secure and value what the school has to offer, attendance is an

issue and it stems around the location and family trauma/circumstances.

We need to develop further student voice and share these reflections across the whole school community to enable us to

make progress moving forward.

Considerations for 2019 As the school will be undergoing a Review in 2018 , no new initiatives were embarked upon in this current AIP for 2018

rather as a Leadership tem we decided to further embed and develop practices that have been implemented in the previous

AIP's developed by the school. We believe we have put into place a strong foundation to meet our desired aims, with

appropriate resources but need to ensure that all staff have a common understanding of our expectations for our key


initiatives. Student growth in the Grade 3 to 5 cohorts did not show the desired level of movement, though our over all

NAPLAN data remains relatively strong when compared to State and Like Schools. Relative growth in Spelling was in line

with Departmental expectations but in the areas of Numeracy we didn't have the desired outcome in High Growth and too

many in the Medium growth category. Both in Reading and Writing we didn't get the expected level of high growth which

obligates us to be more reflective on the needs of students and what we need to develop in them to progress forward.

Improvement Initiatives Rationale

Despite putting into place a number of key initiatives the performance of students achieving high growth and the percentage of students in the top two bands in Writng

and Spelling was not evident in the 2017 NAPLAN Data. The school believes that the processes and initiatives are sound but needs strengthening through improving

teacher practice and accountability. It is believed that the current goals expressed for 2018 will assist with rectifying this situation

Goal 1 Improving student outcomes and achievement by maximising the learning growth of every student in all domains with an

emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy.

12 month target 1.1 Writing and Spelling NAPLAN in Years 3 and 5 - growth in top two bands to increase by 5%.

To increase the proportion of students making medium to high growth in NAPLAN Data sets in Numeracy, Writing and Spelling

by at least 5% - at the same time decreasing low growth in these areas by 5 %.

To have in place triangular data sets involving Essential Learning / Pat Reading - Numeracy / On Demand. All data to be

entered on GradeXpert and analysed in PLT and sub-school meetings regularly and actioned upon.

All staff utilising ARCOTS data to inform their teaching of reading and for all students to show at least one level of growth on

this Reading Measure.

Student performance in Brightpath (Writing assessment) to show 40 pts growth using the writing rulers in Naraitive and


Persuasive writing.

To have all class teachers following the Spelling Program developed by the school with all students displaying positive growth

in Essential Word List, Words Their Way and On Demand Spelling.
