16 Maths Target - Annual School Improvement Plan 2017 Strategic Goal 2: All students are engaged in their learning and are achieving educational success in relation to the National Standards. Annual Goal 2.2: Teachers continue to use research to inform practices to address learning needs and accelerate progress of students at risk or with special abilities. Annual Target: Mathematics Of the 24 Year 4 and 5 students operating below expectation in mathematics, there will be a shift of 15 students to meet the mathematics standard by the end of (63% shift) Baseline data: In November 2016: School wide data analysis showed 87% at or above the National Standard expectation in Mathematics and 13% of students working below ( 48 students) The end of 2016 mathematics analysis is showing a 3% decrease in students operating at expectation.

The transition from curriculum Level 1 to Level 2 requires students to use their basic knowledge to come up with strategies to solve mathematical problems. Some students take longer to make this transition into the manipulation and connected of the basic maths knowledge. E thnic breakdown of targeted students for 2017 : Maori - 1 Asian - 14 Pasifika - 6 NZ European - 3 Students are coming to schools with less knowledge and language. The transition from Curriculum level 1 to 2 requires students to be solid in the number knowledge and basic facts and the language of maths.

Create conditions to enable /enhance our collaborative inquiry. Continue to participate in the Maths PLD which provides a well-researched basis for teachers to reflect, inquire into their practice and to make deliberate shifts in thinking so as to more effectively meet the needs of our priority students. 19

20 Co-construct a Maths PLD Delivery Plan with the two Maths facilitators. Maths Lead Teachers to participate in the ALiM 1 and 2 PLD and target priority students. Build capacity and confidence in the Middle Leadership to lead Maths across the school and sustain the new learning. Collaborate with the Maths facilitators to conduct a review of our current Maths assessment and decide on a way forward. Teachers continue to use ATLAS as an effective teaching and learning planning and reflective tool.

21 Annual School Improvement Plan School Finance & Property Strategic Goal 5: The development & improvement of school wide collaborative learning spaces to enhance student active learning engagement. Baseline Data: In 2014 the second phase of our school building was opened with two flexible innovative learning environments. It was decided to have most of the Year 1 & all of the Year 2 students in one flexible learning space and most of the Year 5 students & all of the Year 6 students in the other. We have seen the collaborative learning spaces enhance both teaching and learning. This was evidenced by the increased engagement of students and the effective and encouraging collaboration of teachers as well as the analysis of the school wide data in November 2014, 2015 & It was clearly evident that there were more students operating above the National Standard in Reading, Writing and Mathematics in Year 2 and Year 6 as well as Year 1 and Year 5. This evidence has motivated the need to have our single classrooms renovated into shared modern learning environments. Annual Goals Action Actual Result / Annual Report Stage 1 works to complete the conversion of the level 2 classrooms into Flexible Learning Environments. The Board of Trustees to update the Property Development Plan and submit to the Catholic Diocese. Liaise with the Catholic Diocese to formulate a timeline for single classroom conversion to Flexible Learning Environments. Raise funds to install shading outside Room 11. Property Committee to decide on where to place the shading. Obtain quotes and apply for grant funding. 21

22 Annual School Improvement Plan Community Engagement Strategic Goal 6: All parents and whānau are empowered to actively engage in the life of the school to support their learners.

23 Annual School Improvement Plan Health & Safety Strategic Goal 7: Ensure a Health & Safety conscious culture permeates across the school community. Baseline Data: The Board of Trustees has robust health and safety policies and practices in place. However, the new Health & Safety Act 2015 broadens the primary duty of care to make explicit the organisation s obligation to keep safe everyone who is impacted by the school s activities, not just the employees.
