SCHOOL PLAN 2012 – 2014

SCHOOL CONTEXT

Warilla High School is situated in close proximity to the picturesque seaside village of Shellharbour on the South Coast of NSW and sits within the Shellharbour School Education Group of the Illawarra and South East Region. The school was established in 1965 as a comprehensive co-educational high school. The school attracts many students from outside its designated drawing area because of its excellent reputation in the community for its sporting, academic and welfare successes and initiatives. The school serves a diverse community and has 5 Special Education classes including ED, Autism, IM and IO. It is one of the largest schools in the Illawarra and South East Region and offers a broad curriculum in both the junior and senior school. Student Engagement has been a crucial focus for the school. We are achieving this through quality teaching practice, the use of technology and the provision of extensive extra curricula opportunities for students.

The school is committed to equality of opportunity and of creating the conditions that will allow all students to achieve excellence. Quality teaching practice that reflects current research will drive our efforts to ensure the school is student centred and outcomes driven.

This process will include a rigorous self-assessment regime and a data driven situational analysis that will allow us to make informed decisions about improving student outcomes in Literacy, Numeracy and the Higher School Certificate.

The introduction of the Positive Behaviour for Success (PBS) program has focussed our attention on our key values:

1. Respect others and value yourself

2. Seek knowledge

3. Care for your environment

4. Embrace honesty

This is a whole school program and these values are displayed in every classroom and are used in our discussions with students and parents in welfare and discipline interviews. PBS is supported by all staff and all staff are involved in teaching explicit lessons around these values.

Our staff and parents are proud of the highly developed welfare system which is reflected in the cohesive nature of the school community and our unwavering commitment of ensuring all students leave this school equipped with the requisite skills to be effective citizens who will lead fulfilling and rewarding lives.

The community of Warilla High School shares a vision which is committed to:

Statement of Purpose – Warilla High School is committed to excellence for all in a safe, caring and inclusive environment which provides relevant learning activities that will develop independent, self-directed learners who will positively contribute to their local and wider communities.

The principles and practices of Warilla High School are derived form a set of core beliefs that have been endorsed by our school community.

At Warilla High School, we believe that:

• every child can learn, • every child has the right to learn and • every child has the right to access quality teaching practice.

We believe that as a school, we are: “Student Centred and Outcomes Driven”.

We commit to the notion of equality of opportunity for all members of our school.

We believe in a working environment of mutual respect and shared responsibility that promotes positive relationships among staff and students.

Working ethically and with integrity will be hallmarks of our school.

Our vision for the school will be achieved by:

• Effective teaching practices in classrooms based on the Quality Teaching Framework. • Systematic and explicit teaching of literacy, numeracy and ICT skills. • Quality teacher professional learning. • Leadership and management which supports learning and teaching. • Effective and efficient school administration including close monitoring of student attendance. • Strong discipline and welfare structures which promote self-discipline, including the wearing of our school uniform with pride • Student commitment to our PBS statement: “PBS utilises school-wide systems of support, evidence-based academic and behavioural

practices, that include proactive strategies for defining, teaching and supporting appropriate student behaviours to create a positive school environment to improve student academic and behaviour outcomes”.

• Strong relationships between staff based on the DEC Staff Code of Conduct and the Dignity and Respect in the Workplace Charter • High expectations for student achievement and success for all. • A school environment of gentle good humour where the rejection of disunifying behaviours such as bullying and harassment are clearly self-

evident.
