Educational Success at Toongabbie West Public School
At Toongabbie West Public School, our teachers work together to provide evidence-based teaching and learning that is tailored to meet the diverse needs of our students. Our educators and leaders are dedicated to offering the highest quality educational experience, ensuring that every student makes progress each year.
Our collaborative approach ensures that all classes within each stage are engaged with the same curriculum content, which is differentiated to suit individual student requirements.
Key Components of Educational Success at Toongabbie West Public School:
Emphasis on Reading and Numeracy: We employ explicit teaching strategies that empower all students to meet their reading and numeracy goals.
Collaborative Planning: Teachers collaborate in stage groups to plan, instruct, assess, reflect, evaluate, and report on student progress collectively.
Supportive Learning Environment: Our School Learning and Support Officers (SLSOs), Deputy Principal, Assistant Principals, specialist Learning and Support teachers, English as Additional Language or Dialect (EAL/D) teachers, and Small Group Tuition staff work closely with classroom teachers to enhance student learning.
Personalised Learning: Teachers adapt their instructional methods to align with students’ needs and implement Individual Education Plans (IEPs) as necessary, involving parents and caregivers in the process.
We are privileged to have a committed and collaborative staff who prioritise students in all teaching and learning activities, ensuring that each student has the opportunity to realise their full potential and excel.
Newly established Inclusive Classes
As I mentioned in the last newsletter last year and in our P&C meeting last week, I am pleased to share some wonderful updates regarding our newly established Inclusive Classes, which have been successfully launched this year. Our commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where every student can thrive has driven this initiative, and I am delighted to report that it is already going exceptionally well.
The introduction of these four Inclusive Classes has allowed us to better cater to the diverse learning needs of our students. In these classrooms, we are implementing differentiated teaching strategies and individualised support to ensure that all learners, regardless of their learning and wellbeing needs, have access to a high-quality education. Our dedicated team of teachers and support staff is focused on creating an engaging and nurturing atmosphere that promotes both academic and social-emotional growth.
We have seen remarkable progress in our students since the establishment of these classes. The individualised interventions are making a significant difference, enabling students to build confidence and develop important skills. It has been heart warming to witness the sense of belonging and community that has blossomed within these classes.
We are confident that these inclusive classes will not only benefit our students but will also strengthen our entire school community. Let’s continue to work in partnership to ensure that every child at our school has the opportunity to reach their fullest potential.
