Report Card

My checklist:A Centre of Excellence – to provide the very best teaching and learning experience to every student in every class. WE had one clear, shared purpose: Shenton College is “A Centre of Excellence” and this was strongly communicated.WE improved our focus on creativity and critical thinking in our classrooms and within our school and continued to involve ourselves in strong partnerships with UWA and cross curricula initiativesWE reflected on data and WE had explicit, clear and measurable goals set in faculty plans and reviewed by staff throughout the yearWE identified strategies to achieve our purpose and strategically resourced them with additional classes, extra initiatives, support funding and salary poolWE put in place internal measure to allow more time for our teachers to focus on education and tried to enhance our non teaching support for teachersWE tried to ensured orderly and supportive environments for our staff and students in clearly articulated policy, process and expectations.WE recruited constructively and provided professional learning to enhance quality teaching, improve quality training and gather quality feedback WE established enhanced communication and connectivity with middle school, senior school and communityWE focussed on our public schooling values and ethics culture and communicated this widely

2010 Analysis of our Performance
