• Provide additional resourcing (Teacher Relief) to support teachers to develop IEP’s and GEP’s to document teaching and learning adjustments for SAER students.

• Funding set aside for TOM for 2023 and using the PEAC funds to use Karl Gurney in the network PEAC role.

WHAT WE WILL DO: Communicating regularly with our parents and school community

What Occurred in 2022:

Communication is a strong focus on the way that our staff relate to the parent cohort. Staff use Seesaw schools frequently during the week to provide parents updates on learning, class events and simply, connecting the home to the classroom.

Once again in 2022 Seesaw Schools allowed the Principal to send whole school messages to the community. This was a positive addition to the information flow from school to the home, especially given the need for regular and accurate updates on COVID.

Skoolbag continued to be the main vehicle for whole of school messages from the school’s front office. Facebook is used less frequently, and the school’s website is still a valuable source of information for all of our community and new families to town.

Recommendations for 2023

• Strong expectation for staff to communicate honestly and authentically with community.

• Seesaw to be used as the school’s preferred vehicle for communication to the home.

• Update of the school’s website as required.
