School Strategic Plan

The School Strategic Plan sets out the school’s strategic directions for the next four years, including the school’s purpose, values and environmental context, as well as goals, targets and key improvement strategies in three student outcome areas:

  • Student learning
  • Student engagement and wellbeing
  • Student pathways and transitions.

The school strategic plan is developed during the year of self evaluation, review and planning. It is informed by the information gathered and directions identified throughout the school self evaluation and school review processes, and through staff, student and parent consultation and engagement with relevant community agencies.

One of the key enhancements to the school strategic plan is the inclusion of an ‘indicative planner’. This planner will assist schools to prioritise their key improvements strategies, capture the activities year-by-year, and identify the desired changes in practice and behaviours.

The school strategic plan is a living document; if a school’s circumstances change it is possible for the strategic plan to be updated outside of this cycle.

Schools are encouraged to share their school strategic plan with their community.
