Position Information:

Arncliffe West Infants School, established in 1912, is located in the suburb of Turrella in Sydney's inner west. The urban renewal process has recently changed the suburb profile with a marked increase in high-rise residential developments.


This rapidly changing landscape has created a diverse student population of 144 including the pre-school students with a multicultural mix.

96% of its students have a language background other than English with the predominant cultural groups being 68% Mongolian, 12% Arabic, 3% Russian and 3% Spanish.


As one of the few infants schools with an on-site preschool Arncliffe West Infants School is able to cater for students from Preschool to Year 2, offering focused foundational learning.

The school offers extensive green space with outdoor opportunities for play and sporting activities, which is of particular value to those students living in high-rise homes.

The school's motto 'Grow in Friendship' encapsulates the ethos of the school where mutual respect and compassion for others is valued.

The school's Situational Analysis highlighted the absence of rigorous data for tracking school performance over the longer term.

Tracking student outcomes against expected student growth targets was identified as the most meaningful measure of student, teacher and school performance.


The Strategic Improvement Plan addresses the identified gaps by setting individualised expected student growth targets mapped to the learning progressions for reading, additive strategies and writing.

Teachers track attainment using formative and summative assessments, analysing data collected to assess the impact of programming and teaching practices on student outcomes within a high expectations culture.
