a commitment to develop a curriculum where relevance, enjoyment and choice improve engagement in learning.
The school expects to see:
increased student engagement in and ownership of learning through curriculum redesign
strengthened student mentorship and tracking of learning progress through the development of the pastoral support system.
The school can draw from the following strengths to support its goal to evaluate the impact of curriculum redesign and pastoral developments on improving student engagement and achievement in learning:
a redesign informed by comprehensive investigations both within and beyond the school community
committed leaders who actively seek and evaluate new approaches to improve outcomes for all learners.
Moving forward, the school will prioritise:
implementing a fit for purpose, responsive curriculum to increase student choice, agency and enjoyment
developing teacher capability and collective capacity in embedding both curriculum and pastoral initiative
developing success indicators to evaluate the impact on students’ learning experiences, engagement and achievement across curriculum areas.
ERO’s role will be to support the school in its evaluation for improvement cycle to improve outcomes for all learners. ERO will support the school in reporting their progress to the community.
