The FSHS school plan has been developed in consultation with staff, students, and parents through various focus group activities and a community forum. The initial framework of the plan was developed at the annual executive conference. Parent, student and teacher representatives provided valuable input to the development of the three strategic directions.
FSHS School strategic directions 2024 - 2027
Strategic Direction 1
Student growth and attainment
Our purpose is to ensure that students maximise their learning outcomes through research-informed, highly effective teaching practices. Professional learning will focus upon evidence-based strategies to build teacher capacity with an increased focus on high potential and gifted education (HPGE) strategies. The use of available data will be critical to informing staff to address underachievement and maximise student growth and attainment.
Strategic Direction 2
Quality Teacher Practice
To inspire deep understanding, scaffold excellence and promote transferable skills among our gifted and high potential learners through building a shared vision and language for staff Professional Learning, enhancing teacher collaboration, boosting self-efficacy and promoting critically reflective practice.
Strategic Direction 3
A Culture of High Expectations
To develop students' responsibility as learners and build their agency in making improvements. We aim to foster an environment where students are self-directed, take initiative and grasp opportunities, thus realising their potential across the four domains of giftedness. The school will foster a culture which encourages high potential learners to realise and achieve their best.
