2024 School Structure
Many thanks to the parents and carers who attended the 2024 Information Evening last Tuesday evening where we launched a refreshed school structure for the 2024 school year. The focus of our change is to introduce 2 sub schools (Years F-2/3 and 3-6) in the Primary School and 3 subschools (Years 7-8, 9-10 and 11-12) in the Secondary School. This will enable our teaching and learning programs to be more closely aligned with the individualised learning needs of each of the cohort of students.
Accordingly our 2024 Ashwood School leadership team has been restructured to accomodate this change
Introduction of a learning leader and wellbeing leader will ensure learning and wellbeing take equal importance at the centre of our educational delivery and align with the Department of Education's Framework for Improving Student Outcomes.
Professional Learning Community (PLC) Leaders in each subschool will introduce a middle leadership structure and maintain our focus on school improvement where groups of teachers work collaboratively at the school level to improve student outcomes.
Implementation of a new Year 9 and 10 active learning program is intended to enhance student engagement by offering unique independent and collaborative experiences, whilst providing opportunities for personal development and growth. At the core of this program is the opportunity to allow students to set authentic and visible goals that aim for improved academic outcomes, greater connections to the school and wider community and the mastery of skills and knowledge in disciplines of their own choosing.
The Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPC) will be delivered over a 2 year period to our Year 11 and 12 students. The VPC in its second year of implementation is an inclusive standards-based certificate that provides an enriched curriculum and excellent support for students to develop the skills, capabilities and qualities for success in personal and civic life.Karen Overall - Principal
