PRINCIPAL’S OVERVIEW

PRINCIPAL’S OVERVIEW Dear Parents and Community Members. Ardross Primary School is proud of its tradition of serving the educational needs of students for over four decades, maintaining a commitment to achieving high standards of academic, social and sporting excellence. 2009 was year where we celebrated success across a variety of areas. Last year was the first year that an Australian Public school qualified for the International Future Problem Solving competition held in the USA in May where our student team, ably led by Ms Auriol Heary were placed third out of 55 international teams in the paper section and fourth in the action plan. Ardross Primary was also recognised as the Western Australian Science School of the Year at an awards ceremony in December as part of the Western Australian Education Awards. Our national testing results were outstanding in literacy, numeracy and science, we won state awards for Waste Management, recognising our innovative sustainability curriculum programs and Australian Health and Physical Education Awards. We can attribute our successful school to a number of key characteristics. These include;

• Outstanding commitment and professionalism of our staff who plan, implement and monitor quality teaching and learning programs, developed using the philosophy of developmental learning.

• Our belief that ; - All children can learn and succeed. - Children learn and develop at individual levels. - Learning experiences should connect with students’ existing knowledge, skills and values. - Learning experiences should respect and accommodate differences between learners. - The school and classroom setting should be safe and conducive to effective teaching and

learning. • The ongoing Professional Development of staff to engage in proven and new educational strategies. • The early identification and planning for students at educational risk along the academic continuum. • A supportive and interested community, who value education and work together to maintain a

positive and communicative learning school community.

These are just a few of the characteristics that make Ardross a successful educational community and a great place to be for staff, students and parents! The following document reflect our intentions for the 2010 school year, linking to the Department of Education and Training documents of “Class Rooms First” and “Focus 2010”, with a core focus on maintaining high standards in Literacy, Numeracy and Science using Higher Order Thinking Skills strategies. In 2010 Ardross Primary School continues with HOTS – Higher Order Thinking Skills! I thank the school community for their continued support in making Ardross such a vibrant and outstanding learning community. It is a privilege to be Principal of such an outstanding Public School and I look forward to another successful year in 2010. Regards Andrew Holmes Principal

Targets Performance Information

Raising Standards in Science 1. Use student achievement data to inform both whole school planning and teaching strategies.

Improve young peoples’ science capabilities.

Integrate development of graphing skills into maths with an emphasis on understanding bar graphs, line graphs, pie charts and graphing conventions. Students are taught how to read the results of records. Give students exercise on taking data from graphs and interpreting patterns.

Classroom resource books defining graph types and when used.

• $ 250 Science Enquiry Games

• $ 300 Previous Naplan tests Maths and science.

Heary/ Macmillan Classroom teachers/ Admin

Students and teachers understand the difference between discreet and continuous data, and the need for labelling axes and titles. Graphing problems become a regular part of math’s activity in classrooms.

Professional discussion in Performance Management. Results in Chance and Data compared to science data.

2. Literacy and numeracy skills are key elements in science. WAMSE assessment data in science is used to inform planning.

Increased time spent on science learning area as a result of implications in national curriculum, and to achieve better understanding of the ‘big ideas’ in science using literacy and numeracy to develop science literacy.

Allocate increased classroom time to science in year 7. Cross curriculum teaching should be used in the learning approach. Health Ed, S&E and maths time may be more effectively used to compliment development of science content. Teachers use opportunities in cross curriculum approaches for teaching of science.

Science based reading texts Materials relating to general capabilities in science and cross curriculum (eg. Health, S&E)

• $400

Science Support Teacher/ Literacy, Maths, S&E, Health Coordinators.

Increase the bank of science based literacy texts, particularly about major science discoveries and scientists. Students achieve better depth of understanding in science.

Survey of time spent on science teaching

3. Teachers look at assessment in science as part of the teaching process.

Moderation is used within school for internal consistency.

Moderation practices developed and student exemplars are used to improve science teaching. SAIS resources accessed by teachers.

SAIS and ACARA Scope and Sequence with special access to support materials. Teachers looking at student work in detail.

4. Interventions for students identified as needing support.

We address assessment as an integral part in identifying students that need help.

What are we doing to help identified students improve? Perhaps a maths/ science group and support teacher to take these kids for individual instruction? Teachers recognise that sometimes an activity doesn’t lend itself to getting a range of grade levels. Use SAIS, NAPLAN, science exemplars and annotations to help guide assessment and identify areas for student improvement.

Direct practical support for identified students in literacy, numeracy and science skills.

• Admin to consider carefully the possibility of a support teacher for small group support in years 5 and 7

(NAPLAN years)

Deputy principal/ Learning support coordinator.

Students identified as below national standard improve to the minimum national standard.

Performance of students at risk in science (literacy and numeracy) increases over time.

5. Students have opportunities to engage with and increase understanding of scientific concepts.

Depth of understanding in content areas.

Students study fewer but more fundamental concepts (big ideas), seeking understandings from multiple sources and hands on investigations. They communicate findings about investigations in science journals. Possibly phase in separation techniques (E&B); structure and function of some human body systems in science teaching (L&L and Health)

Build on Primary Connections resources and PSP support materials

• $200

Science Support Teacher

Teachers focussing on gaining higher experience in using Primary Connections.

Performance Management discussions and agreed targets.

6. Encourage the need for evidence informed decision making (Science as a Human Endeavour)

Students identifying the historical aspects of science

Look at the great discoveries in science and the importance of observing and recording data to support big ideas (eg. the Earth was once thought to be centre of the universe). Integration to S&E and History of science discoveries.

ICT support for cross curriculum in science.

ICT Support Teacher - Glenn Hill

Each student looks at a historical discovery in science and how the evidence was compiled to prove it. Each student has a dedicated science folder in their My Documents.

PowerPoint presentations, reports evident in student’s computer files. Teachers and students set a basic list of tasks to be completed and use OTLS to assess.

Support Teachers and School Leaders 1. Use on-line resources to plan teaching and learning programs, and help teachers with assessment including the allocation of A-E grades. 2. Support teachers to implement the new CAR policy.

Provide feedback on the functionality, accessibility and usefulness of the on-line curriculum.

Teachers of Pre Primary, years 2, 4, 5 and 7 produce learning programs based on what they are provided with from ACARA (national curriculum draft) with access to support materials for the scope and sequence. They provide work samples and give formal feedback on line. Recognition to participating teachers is acknowledged.
