1 Ku-ring-gai High School Plan Student Engagement Wellbeing Learning Community
2 School background School vision statement School context School planning process Our vision is to create a strong learning community with a futures focus which addresses the needs of 21 st Century Learners. To create a culture of creative thinking and problem solving skills supporting all students in areas of learning to achieve their personal goals and lead successful lives. This vision is underpinned by the school s ethos Academic excellence in a Creative Environment Our vision is to cater for the needs of all students through a culture of creative thinking and problem solving skills. Authentic international educational partnerships are being fostered through a developing international student program, overseas excursions and the widening of our language program to include Mandarin and our organisational structure is underpinned by inclusivity, transparency and the flexibility to respond to the needs of students and changing pedagogies. Established in 1965, Ku-ring-gai High School is a comprehensive, co-educational high school situated in the beautiful and stimulating environment adjacent to the Ku-ringgai National Park. The school specialises in the provision of high quality learning experiences with a focus on academic excellence and creativity in learning. Ku-ring-gai H.S. is a member of the North Shore alliance of five public secondary schools in Northern Sydney. The school has highly visible and collaborative leadership teams which foster a dynamic and innovative culture in teaching and learning. The Talent Enrichment Program is a unique initiative to Ku-ring-gai H.S. which offers a wide selection of subjects in creative and performing arts, humanities, technology and sport. Strong school and community partnerships support a diverse and committed staff in providing enhanced opportunities for all students. During the last 12 months Ku-ring-gai High School has engaged in wide range community consultation which has informed the school planning cycle In Terms 1 and 2, 2014, a series of consultations occurred with the whole school community including staff, parents and students. The process began with a SWOT analysis of teachers and the employment of the School Assessment Tool matrix to identify agreed focus areas. This tool was employed at staff meetings and parent meetings. As a result areas of current practice were identified as priorities for future focus and strengthening. These included widening consultative decision making, collaborating beyond the school and building capacity in community organisations to engage with the school and support families. Communication across the school and with the community was identified as an area for building. Parents identified the need to encourage more sport in the school and committed funds for the upgrading of tennis courts and other sporting facilities. They indicated great satisfaction with the widened curriculum and enrichment opportunities through the TEP (Talent Enrichment Program). In 2014 the Tell them from Me Survey Tool was employed for student consultation and Year Forums held for students to identify areas of improvement to encourage success, engagement and school spirit amongst students. As a result, the area of student well- being and in particular, the mental health of adolescents was an area of concern highlighted by these discussion forums. Over the year, Primary school parents input was sought through interview and feedback during their school visits at Enrichment days and School Tours regarding -perceptions/ preferences in the school/ school focus/ name of school ie, Creative Arts Designation. Data indicated that only 20% of enrolments were as a result of the Arts designation. A Curriculum survey of parents, teachers and students was undertaken in Term There was a high level of satisfaction with the curriculum offerings and a suggestion of the introduction of software and design courses being offered in School Learning Community- NS5 Our learning community of Principals, executive and teachers identified, through a consultation process, across the five schools, identified a priority and shared focus on Student engagement ; the continuation of curriculum and extra curricula opportunities for students; and professional learning opportunities for teachers. The outcome has been the recognition of our 3 strategic directions 1. Student engagement 2. Wellbeing- students and staff 3. Learning community. Page 2
