Our school has opted to participate in a self-evaluation of our learning support and wellbeing processes. This evaluation will provide the school with findings and recommendations to enhance our learning support, behaviour management and wellbeing practices.

These processes will be evaluated by conducting a document analysis of policies, procedures and records, and by interviewing staff, students and parents. Our school self-evaluation team will be supported by an educational consultant, a learning and wellbeing advisor from the Queanbeyan District Office, and a visiting primary school principal.

The report will provide our school with guidance in:

· Enhancing the quality of the learning experience for all students

· Building each teacher’s capability to recognise, respect and respond to the needs of all students

· Developing, implementing and monitoring whole school planning and support mechanisms

· Working collaboratively and engaging positively with parents

The evaluation will take place on the 18th and 19th March. Focus group discussions with students from every year will be led by school staff. Teachers, support staff and parents will be interviewed by the visiting members of our evaluation team.

Parents will be interviewed by phone. If you would like to be contacted, please fill in the nomination eform on Skoolbag or contact the office. A random sampling of parents will also be contacted. A written survey eform can also be completed on Skoolbag and submitted by Friday 15th March.

We know that wellbeing is a key contributor to our students’ ability to live rewarding lives as engaged citizens in a complex and dynamic society. It is essential that every child is known, valued and cared for in our school. You can help us achieve this by taking part in this important evaluation process. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
