3 School background School vision statement Tweed Heads Public School community is committed to working together addressing student s academic, physical creative and social needs to encourage all students to embrace learning and become active global citizens. Our school will deliver excellence within an environment that is supportive, nurturing, and challenging which will equip our students with the necessary skills and knowledge to become confident, respectful and responsible members of the community. School context Tweed Heads Public School, an inclusive primary school catering for students K 6, is situated on the far north coast of NSW with the rear school boundary marking the Queensland border. The school has been on this site for over 100years and generations of families have attended the school giving the school a strong sense of history and tradition amongst local families of the Tweed Heads (NSW) and Coolangatta (Qld) communities. Our student intake covers the range from low socio economic, middle class to high socio economic groups. The school population includes 10% ATSI students and an increasing and diverse ethnic population. Educational programs are well resourced and all learning spaces are air conditioned and equipped with the technology tools that support student learning experiences. Students and teachers have access to IWBs, computer laboratory, ipads and laptops for teaching and learning. Emphasis is placed on the provision of quality, challenging and stimulating teaching and learning programs and on the continuous improvement of student learning in all key learning areas. Students are supported in their learning by dedicated and enthusiastic teachers. The school has high educational expectations for students and this is nurtured through positive and collaborative practices between the school and home. Extensive extra curricular opportunities are provided to all students in the areas of creative arts and sport. School community shared school values of respect, responsibility; honesty, caring and friendship underpin all policies and practices at the school. Self-assessment and school achievement Self-assessment using the School Excellence Framework This section of the Annual Report outlines the findings from self assessment using the School Excellence Framework, school achievements and the next steps to be pursued. This year, our school undertook self assessment using the School Excellence Framework and participated in an external validation. The framework supports public schools throughout NSW in the pursuit of excellence by providing a clear description of high quality practice across the three domains of Learning, Teaching and Leading. During the external validation process, an independent panel of peer principals considered our evidence and assessment of the school s progress, aligned with the standards articulated in the School Excellence Framework.

4 Assessment & Reporting Delivering Student Performance Measures Delivering School programs address the needs of identified student groups (eg. Aboriginal students, gifted students, students with disability and students for whom English is a second language). The school encourages students to recognise and respect cultural identity and diversity. Expectations of behaviour are explicitly taught to students and relate to the variety of school settings such as classroom, playground, hallways, canteen and assemblies. The school consistently implements a whole school approach to wellbeing that has clearly defined behavioural expectations and creates a positive teaching and learning environment. The school provides a range of extra curricular offerings for student development. The school actively collects and uses information to support students successful transitions. There are systematic policies, programs and processes to identify and address student learning needs. Individual student reports include descriptions of the student s strengths and areas of growth. Students are at or above national minimum standards on external performance measures. Students are showing expected growth on internal school performance measures. Future Directions: Teachers set transparent criteria for student assessment and have in place principles of consistent assessment and moderation. Students use assessment and reporting processes to reflect on their learning. Parents have an understanding of what their children are learning and receive regular information to support progression to the next level. The results of this process in the School Excellence Framework domain of TEACHING Effective Classroom Practice Delivering Data Skills and Use Delivering Collaborative Practice Sustaining and Growing Learning & Development Sustaining and Growing Professional Standards Sustaining and Growing Teachers regularly review and revise teaching and learning programs. The school s professional learning builds teacher skills in the analysis, interpretation and use of student performance data. Assessment instruments are used regularly to help monitor student learning progress and to identify skill gaps for improvement. Teachers work together to improve teaching and learning in their year groups, stages, faculties,or for particular student groups. Page 4 of 13 Tweed Heads Public School 3290 (2016)
5 Teachers provide and receive planned constructive feedback from peers, school leaders and students to improve teaching practice. Beginning and early career teachers are provided with targeted support in areas of identified need. Teachers actively share learning from targeted professional development with others. Staff attainment of professional learning goals and teaching requirements are part of the school s performance and development processes. Future Directions: Teachers regularly use student performance data and other student feedback to evaluate the effectiveness of their own teaching practices (focus numeracy). The school evaluates professional learning activities to identify and systematically promote the most effective Strategies (focus numeracy and technology).
