Revesby Public School is situated thirty kilometres south-west from the centre of Sydney. The school has an enrolment of 345 students with 78% of the population having language backgrounds other than English. The school has thirteen mainstream classes and three support classes for students with disabilities.
The Revesby Public School Community values academic excellence that recognises progress, effort and achievement leading to lifelong learning; excellence in teaching through a commitment to continuous professional learning; equity for all; diversity where the whole school community values and respects individuals and their beliefs; a safe, happy and caring environment where all stakeholders are known, cared for and valued. Strong partnerships with the community aims to improve student learning.
The school provides comprehensive extra-curricular programs in sport, creative arts, debating and public speaking. Revesby Public School has a dedicated staff comprised of both early career and experienced teachers. The staff is supported by a strong collegial approach to ongoing professional development. The parent community is actively engaged in the school and has high expectations for teaching and learning.
Through our situational analysis, we have identified the need for continued work to be completed in maintaining explicit systems that facilitate professional dialogue, collaboration and classroom observations, and set high expectations for individualised student learning. We will continue to develop staff confidence in data literacy and transform this knowledge to teaching and learning programs, strengthen accreditation processes which are validated with evidence aligned to the performance management and development process and further build networks of practice.
There will be a strong focus on whole school community knowledge, understanding and the use of effective practices and strategies to support student wellbeing enabling students to connect, succeed and thrive.
