I welcome you and your family to Wilston State School. I am extremely
privileged to be the principal of such a great school. Wilston State School has
very capable and talented students, dedicated and passionate staff and a great
community who are engaged and committed to our school.
We embrace a culture of feedback for learning and make adjustments and
differentiate for all students to ensure they reach their learning potential
every term. We have very clearly articulated roles and responsibilities and work
together in the Wilston Way.
My job is to
continue to build teacher capacity and ensure accountability. To challenge
current practice and look at school systems, processes and procedures to ensure
constant renewal and improvement of results. To engage with the whole school
community and work together toward the best possible results for our students.
Our teachers’
job is to know each student and how they learn. To plan, teach, give feedback
to students and parents, assess, report and ensure students are engaged and
supported in their learning and reach their potential.
Our student’s
job is to learn; be engaged, know what they need to do, seek feedback for
themselves and give feedback to others, be organized. To also care for their
learning, care for our school, care for our environment and care for others.
Your job as
parents is to know and understand our common language and expectations, to
build capacity of your child to be independent, resilient and organized, to
inform us and provide feedback.
Working together
is the Wilston Way.
