ANNUAL REPORT
SHELLEY PRIMARY SCHOOL BUSINESS PLAN 2024 – 2027
The 2024–2027 Shelley Primary School Business Plan has been developed through a collaborative process involving school staff and the School Board and is aligned with the strategic direction set by the Department of Education.
We would like to sincerely thank our parents, students, and staff for their valuable contributions throughout this process. The development of this plan has taken place over several months and reflects the shared commitment of our school community.
This Business Plan outlines our school’s capacity to respond to the evolving needs of our students and to work in partnership with our community. Our shared vision is to inspire a passion for learning in every child. To achieve this, the plan is structured around three key focus areas:
1. Classroom Direction
This area prioritises:
- Collaborative teaching practices and professional coaching to support high-quality instruction.
- A strong commitment to student and staff wellbeing.
- The use of high-impact teaching strategies to enhance student achievement.
2. Organisational Direction
This section outlines how the school will:
- Promote wellbeing across the entire school community.
- Use data rigorously to inform planning and monitor progress.
- Foster responsible financial and digital citizenship among staff and students.
3. Partnership Direction
This focus area highlights:
- The vital role of our P&C and School Board in strengthening community engagement and enhancing the school’s profile.
- The importance of partnerships with external organisations that provide enriching opportunities for our students.
The Business Plan also includes specific performance targets we aim to meet or exceed by the end of 2027. These targets are based on our stable cohort—students who have been enrolled at Shelley Primary School for at least two years. This approach ensures we are accurately measuring the long-term impact of our programs.
