Our Vision ensures that we are:
**_
Inspiring successful learners through a connected community, empowering students for the future._**

Skye PS has an enthusiastic and motivated staff with an extensive range of teaching experience. Teachers work collaboratively in Professional Learning Communities to analyse student data in order to plan highly effective learning opportunities, using explicit direct instruction to improve student outcomes. A priority for learning and teaching is to identify and understand the entry point of learning for every student, and to plan differentiated tasks that ensure individual success and learning growth for all students. The provision of clear learning intentions and matched co-constructed success criteria supports students to set personalised learning goals and enables teachers to provide targeted feedback.

Our School Strategic Plan is focused on ensuring that metacognition and learning challenge is inherent for all students. Developing Learner Agency and building a culture of collective efficacy will further enhance the development of an aspirational and high achieving learning community. Clear goals have been set to empower students to be engaged, independent and self-regulating learners. Targets to improve student outcomes in both Reading and Numeracy are set to maximise the learning growth of every student. Professional Learning for staff is focused on evidence-based research and best practice that fosters the development of consistent approaches to whole school planning, assessment and delivery of lessons across the school.

Skye PS promotes Schoolwide Positive Behaviour and prides itself on the use of restorative approaches to student wellbeing, with a strong emphasis on developing positive relationships, resilience, responsibility and respect. The wellbeing curriculum is focused on embedding the school values, and is supported by initiatives including the Berry St Education Model, Zones of Regulation and Respectful Relationship. All staff and students participate in our fortnightly 'Inspire¿ program offering teachers and students the opportunity to engage in passion inspired activities outside of their normal year levels. Programs include Drama, Journalism, AWFL & Cricket, Skye Sports, Yoga, Karate, Edison Bots (Coding), and Gymnastics¿ to name a few.

Skye PS values relationships and partnerships with the wider community. The school has an active PTF Association and a supportive School Council. Skye PS is an Ardoch partner school and through programs such as the Literacy and Numeracy Buddies, involvement with corporate partnerships ensure that students are exposed to opportunities outside of the school setting.
