Teacher Learning and Support (0.6FTE) - Strathfield North Public School

Strathfield North Public School is on Eora Nation land of the Wangal people. The approximate enrolment is 562 students including 70% from a culturally and linguistically diverse background. Our community is proactive and supported by an involved and dedicated Parent and Citizens Association and enjoy strong partnerships with the local community. The school enjoys a strong reputation in the local community for its high academic achievement, enrichment opportunities and differentiated support programs for students with additional needs.

Our Learning and Support and English as an Additional Language or Dialect teams work in partnership with students, teachers and the community to ensure all learning and wellbeing needs are catered for within an inclusive environment. All students are afforded with the opportunity to learn one of three community languages; Chinese, Italian or Korean. There is an Itinerant Hearing Support Team based on site which supports students within our school and surrounding schools. We are also proud of a small but significant number of Aboriginal students enrolled at our school. SNPS has a long tradition of performing arts and sporting excellence including a range of NSW Primary School Sports Association (PSSA), public speaking and debating, Wakakirri, choirs, music, dance and sport programs. Technology is embedded throughout the school to enhance learning opportunities for all students, examples of this include our media hub, coding room, computer lab and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. Opportunities for student voice are evident through leadership teams including Prefects, Environmental, Logistics, Playground, Library, Sport and Media Crew. There is also a strong focus on building leadership capacity and student voice through our whole school Student Representative Council and Buddy program. Through our situational analysis and strong community consultation process we have identified six areas that will direct our school to achieve our system negotiated targets: explicit teaching in reading and numeracy, formative assessment, differentiation, effective lesson practice, learning empowers teachers and instructional leadership.
