Planning and reporting help us meet the needs of our community, improve the quality of teaching and enhance outcomes for all of our students.
Strategic Improvement Plan
We have developed a Strategic Improvement Plan (SIP) in consultation with our community, identifying student outcomes and connected to a budget.
The School Excellence Framework (SEF) underpins our school planning and reporting approach. The framework provides a clear description of the key elements of high-quality practice across learning, teaching and leading.
The SIP is a working document that details the steps our school will take to improve learning outcomes, and the achievement and growth of all students. To ensure continuous improvement, the SIP reflects where our school is at and how it will further improve learning, teaching and leading.
It demonstrates our alignment and our commitment to excellence as part of public education in NSW to ensure a profound difference to the ongoing growth and development of our students.

The Westmead PS School Strategic Plan 2015-2017 has been endorsed by the Director of Public Schools, Hills Network. The plan includes our newly developed shared vision and strategic directions which are a result of the planning process undertaken during 2014 and early 2015.
We have collaborated with all key stakeholders (Stage 3 students, teaching and administrative staff and the parent community) to develop our school plan. This has included surveys, staff meetings, planning teams, talking with parents and students, liaising with the Community Hub Coordinator and input from parents at P&C meetings. We have also used the DEC strategic directions, current curriculum documents and the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (APST) to frame planning.
