The Port Hedland SOTA Strategic Plan provides direction and guidance for the school in appointing priorities and implementing strategies and programs to achieve set targets. Informed judgements about the standards of student achievement and the effectiveness of school processes in maximising student achievement are regularly and consistently made. These are ambitious and exact high academic expectations from our students.
We monitor each student’s achievements using a case management approach across all learning areas. Data collection from the system level, standardised, and curriculum-based assessments are utilised to inform teacher judgements and form the foundation for setting high expectations and targets for our students. Teachers meet with the support teacher learning (STL) and principal to assess student performance and then set individualised targets. Teachers and the STL work collaboratively with home tutors to plan and implement strategies to build student capacity.
