Independent Public School (IPS) in 2016
It is with great
pleasure that we inform our school community that our application to become an
Independent Public School (IPS) in 2016 has been successful. The Independent
Public Schools (IPS) initiative will provide our school with greater
empowerment in decision-making and the increased capacity to work in new ways
to maximise student outcomes. The initiative recognises that the best
decision-making often happens at the local level. By embracing independence,
our school community will have greater autonomy in the decisions we make to
deliver the best possible outcomes for our students and school community.
Through IPS our
school will benefit from the ability to embrace additional autonomy to enable:
· increased
innovation
· stronger
partnerships with industry and the community
· further
tailoring of local school programs.
This is a very exciting time for our school
community in our pursuit of providing the best learning opportunities for our
children.
