3 School background School vision statement Rockley Public School aims to provide an engaging learning environment that is inclusive of all learners, facilitating life long learning for all ensuring it is flexible and responsive to the needs of individual learners to develop responsible, productive future citizens. School context Rockley Public School is a small rural school located about 35km from Bathurst. The school provides a family atmosphere for the students whereby all students feel supported in their learning. The school is well resourced both staffing wise and equipment. Rockley PS is working under the Early Action for Success initiative. Rockley PS has a strong focus on developing the whole child and actively engages in programs that develop the child beyond the classroom with students engaging in a range of exciting learning opportunities. There is an ongoing environmental focus and currently have a number of chickens and a fruit & vegetable garden. The school continues to hold high expectations for all students and places a strong emphasis on using quality teaching and learning programs to engage students in their learning. Data indicates that students at Rockley PS are working towards achieving expected benchmark levels within the expected timeframes. Through Early Action for Success, the school is provided with an Instructional Leader, an additional teacher allocation to deliver tailored interventions in literacy and numeracy, as well as a training allocation for teachers to strengthen personalised learning for K 2 students. The wider community of Rockley is supportive of the school. The school community wishes to continue to engage with the wider community to ensure their ongoing support in the delivery of quality educational programs for children within the village and surrounds.

4 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. The results of this process indicated that in the School Excellence Framework domain of Learning, Rockley Public School is Sustaining and Growing. Staff at Rockley Public School are committed to the school learning priorities. They understand the connection between engagement and learning, with quality teaching and learning programs being implemented in all curriculum areas. In 2015, staff completed the first module of How2LEARN and are extremely mindful of the language that they use to support students through their learning. Through this careful choice of language, staff are able to foster the students development of a growth mindset which has resulted in a shift in the way students tackle tasks that they once thought were too difficult. Positive and respectful relationships are evident amongst students, staff and the broader community. This is promoted through a fair and consistent behaviour system, whereby students are explicitly taught what the behaviour expectations are. All students are expected to accept responsibility for their actions with staff using restorative practice style questions to talk through different behaviour choices with students. Staff are proactive in finding opportunities to share student successes with parents, fostering positive relationships between school and home. School programs are differentiated to support the individual learning needs of all students, such as those with a confirmed disability and those students for whom English is a second language. We utilise school resources to ensure that students are supported appropriately in their learning. By accessing the New Arrivals Program, students for whom English is a second language have been supported through 1:1 lessons and small group work within the classroom. Students with confirmed disabilities have their programs modified to suit their individual learning needs and are supported in all learning by an SLSO. Staff actively seek opportunities to broaden student learning through experiences such as the sporting schools initiative, ensuring that the students participate in a wide range of physical activities. Students in years 3 6 are encouraged to try out for PSSA sports with students from the other Bathurst Small Schools. There is a strong music program in place with students having access to a range of musical instruments. Performances at Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre are well attended, as are excursions to major centres such as Sydney, Canberra and Dubbo. Rockley Public School has a number of learning alliances to support curriculum provision. We are members of the Bathurst Small Schools Alliance, working together to develop our capacity as teachers of a multistage classroom through combined professional learning opportunities. We also work closely with professionals, such as speech pathologists, ensuring that students have access to programs aimed at developing speech and language. Partnerships have been established with other schools participating in Language, Literacy and Learning (L3), allowing teachers to engage in professional dialogue regarding effective practice in literacy. The results of this process indicated that in the School Excellence Framework domain of Teaching, Rockley Public School is Sustaining and Growing. At Rockley Public School, there is a particular focus on improving teaching methods in literacy and numeracy, with staff aligning their Performance Development Plans to the school s strategic directions. Professional learning within the school is targeted to developing teacher capacity in implementing quality literacy and numeracy programs. Through the Early Action for Success initiative, staff have engaged in Language, Literacy & Learning (L3) professional learning, drawing on evidence based research to build on effective teaching strategies in literacy. There is regular, on going professional dialogue about effective teaching practices and student performance amongst the staff. Opportunities to observe quality teaching practice are created, with teachers not only observing quality practice within the school, but also at other schools participating in L3. Within the school, we draw upon the expertise of our Instructional Leader to develop teacher capacity in numeracy. Lessons are planned around effective teaching practice to address student need, with the Instructional Leader both implementing lessons to demonstrate effective practice and providing feedback through observation. Teachers then have the opportunity to develop their practice in class between Instructional Leader visits. Page 4 of 12 Rockley Public School 2974 (2016)
5 Teachers use performance data to drive their teaching and learning programs. Student performance data in both literacy and numeracy is updated on PLAN every 5 weeks. This enables staff to closely monitor student achievement and adjust teaching programs to suit needs, identifying any gaps in learning that need to be addressed. Teachers begin lessons with clear learning intentions and students are given specific feedback both individually and during small group lessons so that they know how to improve. Rockley Public School draw upon staff expertise to ensure students have access to quality education programs in other Key Learning Areas. We have a strong music and visual art program, which heavily support learning in science, history, geography and library. Our students have completed a number of projects which are now on display around the school, and keep an art portfolio, documenting key concepts learnt. The results of this process indicated that in the School Excellence Framework domain of Leading, Rockley Public School is Delivering. As a school, we are committed to providing an equitable education for all students. We draw upon the expertise of staff to ensure that students have access to high quality teaching and learning programs in all Key Learning Areas, such as our Creative Arts program. Financial and physical resources are effectively allocated within the budget to ensure that students are adequately supported in their learning. This year, we have employed a second teacher to support year 2 & 3 students in literacy and numeracy, employed an SLSO to implement speech & language and sight word programs, purchased a number of high quality resources as well as specific resources to support students with confirmed disabilities. A number of links to support school programs have been established. Staff at Rockley Public School regularly meet with staff from other small schools to engage inprofessional learning activities and build their capacity as teachers of multi stage classroom. Through L3 professional learning opportunities, we have established connections with larger schools so that teachers participating in L3 are able to visit and observe quality teaching practices. We have a speech pathologist visit the school 3 4 times a term and work with students with speech & language problems, and the support staff in implementing effective programs to help those students identified. The school acknowledges the contributions and achievements of all members of the school community. We use both our school newsletter and social media to celebrate student, staff and community achievements. Presentation Day and other ceremonies throughout the year are well attended by the parent community. Our self assessment and the external validation process will assist the school to refine the strategic priorities in our School Plan, leading to further improvements in the delivery of education to our students.
