An Insight into St Anthony’s 2024 School Improvement Plan

The St Anthony's 2024 School Improvement Plan is focused on addressing key areas of growth identified through feedback from staff, students, parents, and carers. The plan outlines two main annual improvement goals:

All students are appropriately challenged and demonstrate growth in Mathematics: This goal emphasises the importance of ensuring that every student is sufficiently challenged in the subject of Mathematics and through quality assessment strategies students will be able to demonstrate measurable growth in their understanding and proficiency over time. 

• Fostering greater school community engagement by parents and carers in their child’s learning: 
• This goal recognises the importance of actively involving parents and carers in their child's education. By fostering stronger partnerships between the school and families, it aims to create a supportive learning environment that extends beyond the classroom and encourages collaboration between home and school.

Additionally, the plan highlights the importance of teachers' professional learning as an integral component of achieving the stated improvement goals. By providing opportunities for ongoing professional development targeted towards the identified areas of focus, the school demonstrates a commitment to enhancing teacher effectiveness and ensuring alignment between instructional practices and student needs.

Furthermore, the opportunity to release teachers from their teaching load throughout the year to engage in professional learning indicates a dedication to investing resources and time into the professional growth of the staff. This approach allows teachers to deepen their expertise in Mathematics instruction and strengthen their ability to effectively engage with parents and carers, thereby supporting the overarching goals of the improvement plan.

Overall, the St Anthony's 2024 School Improvement Plan strives to work towards driving positive change within the school community, with a focus on academic achievement in Mathematics and strengthening collaboration between the school, parents, and carers.
