Bargo Public School is in a semi-rural township located in the lower plains of the Southern Highlands of NSW, serving a varied socio-economic context. Bargo Public School aims to provide a supportive, engaging, respectful learning community that promotes student responsibility, lifelong learning, global awareness and inclusivity.
There are approximately 300 students with 10% of students having an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background and students from language backgrounds other than English (2.5%). The school consists of 13 classes, including one support class catering for students with Autism.
Staff and parents have high expectations of excellence for students across academic, cultural, social and sporting programs. Parents are active participants in the school, reflected by a P & C which supports students, learning programs, as well as the school's plan and all consultative processes. Staff work collaboratively across stages to plan, assess and report consistently with the support of an Instructional Leadership model.
The school plan focuses on improvements in Student Learning, Teacher Learning and Wellbeing. A strong focal point on teacher professional development is evident through engagement and implementation of programs such as L3. Formative Assessment, School Services Curriculum Strategy, Spirals of Inquiry, Learning Sprints and the CESE LEED (Leading Evaluation, Evidence and Data) Project are also being implemented, aimed at ensuring Bargo Public School is at the forefront of quality teaching and high level school improvement practices to increase student achievement.
