Position Information:

Warragamba Public School is situated in a semi-rural area
. Enrolment in 2023 is 396 students, with 16 classes K-6 being formed. Aboriginal student enrolments are increasing totaling 8.6% of students. We currently have 3.5% of students from language backgrounds other than English.

Student participation in sport is enthusiastic and the school enjoys Diamond status in the Premier's Sporting Challenge as well as solid performances in PSSA Cross Country and Athletics.

Student participation and performance in CAPA (musicals, drama and visual arts) is strong internally and externally.

Our school has completed a situational analysis that has identified three areas of focus for the Strategic Improvement Plan. These areas will build upon what we have achieved in our previous planning cycle.

1. Student Growth and Attainment


Analysis has demonstrated that our NAPLAN
performance, since the setting of baseline data, demonstrates pleasing progress in Numeracy, specifically in the area of at or above expected growth.


There will be a focus on data informed teaching practice and the further development of school processes for assessing, collecting and analysing data.

This will be in addition to a focus on teachers providing effective feedback to students.

2. Student Attendance


Analysis of SCOUT (system) data has shown that an uplift of 3.7% of students attending 90% or more of the time, is required to meet system negotiated targets.

This does have a huge impact on student improvement and is an area that we need to address as a school in order to meet our targets in 2023.


3. Connections


The Tell Them from Me survey data demonstrated a 7% increase in student engagement from Yr 4 to Yr 6.

Whilst we have strong processes and high expectations around behaviour, we now need to look closely at student wellbeing and their sense of belonging within the school.


Through the analysis of school data we have identified that a continued refinement of high quality pedagogical practices is an area we will focus on through our strategic improvement plan.
