Collaborating with parentsWe aim to create a culture of collaboration and innovation so that students, teachers, parents and the broader community contribute to and enrich learning programs.
Our teachers initiate and lead ongoing collaboration with parents about student learning, classroom practice and whole school culture. Our GEPS-Connects program is a different way of reporting - it aims to partner with parents in learning about student progress and achievement in more meaningful ways. |
Teachers as leading learnersWe see ourselves as a leading school providing vibrant, vast, rigorous and authentic learning. To achieve this we develop extended networks of collaboration and learning to challenge thinking and provide feedback on whole school progress.
Our Teacher Learning Community, based on the work of Dylan Wiliam, gathers every 3 weeks to focus on the impact of formative assessment on student learning. Our Instructional Rounds network partners with 5 other schools to use observations of classroom practice as data for school improvement. GEPS is also a Bright Spot school in the Social Ventures Australia NSW network. We have been recognised for innovative teaching and leading to raise student learning. At GEPS, we aim to cultivate an open and welcoming hub of excellence to inspire others. |
