Throughout the year we are able to gauge how our school is perceived by the students, the families, the staff and the wider community through surveys.
One of the most valuable sources of information is the review of our School Renewal Plan. This process provided us with feedback as to how we are progressing in relation to our plan and which areas we still needed to develop and expand. Some of the comments received during our School renewal review process included: There was much positive feedback relating to the focus on the development of students holistically, without a narrow focus on just academic abilities. Positive feedback was received about the breadth of learning activities and the continual process of endeavouring to make them contemporary and relevant to today’s social environment.
