Principal's Reflection

Dear Families,

On Monday, the focus for our staff during our Student Free Day was ongoing school improvement and effectiveness. This is a process we have worked through as a staff since the beginning of the year and we are in what is called a 'Discernment Year.' The purpose of the 'Discernment Year' is to reflect and decide upon what we want our ideal future for SBW to look like. From here we have looked at the current reality and what celebrations/ barriers there currently are.

Families, students and staff also had the opportunity towards the end of Term 1 to provide feedback through the Insight SRC survey that was sent out via COMPASS. The strategic plan that we will finalise towards the end of the year will focus on student outcomes with clear goals and actions that will be implemented to achieve both strategic and annual goals. Improvement around the school such as maintenance and potential building works will be captured in an operational plan. As a school, it is vital that we place students at the forefront of our school improvement and strategic plan. We look forward to sharing our work towards the end of the year.

Thank you for your ongoing support,

Nic
