Business Plan
The Plan provides strategic direction for Gilmore College over a three-year period and is a key reference point for the introduction of improvement initiatives. It is underpinned by our vision, values and ethos and reflects the breadth of issues confronting not only our College but, public school education.
School Reports
Annual School Reports review and outline each school year, based on four guiding principles:
- Assessment of the School’s progress against Business Plan priorities – based on analysis of data produced through the cycle of self- assessment (Key areas include the Business Plan Target evaluation and Professional Learning Activities Report
- Provision of contextualised information about student achievement – including those student groups experiencing potential educational disadvantage (Key areas include NAPLAN, Year 12 data, Special Programs report).
- Evaluation of Parent, Student and Staff Satisfaction, which is measured in surveys conducted during the year.
- Appraisal on our annual budget and accounts based on our annual financial summary.
College Board
