Cringila Public School is a small school with an enrolment of 138 students. Situated on Dharawal country, between Lake Illawarra and the escarpment, we support a diverse, multicultural community. Currently, 90% of our student population has a language background other than English. The most commonly spoken languages are Arabic, Macedonian and Turkish and we are proud to be able to provide opportunities for all students to engage in learning these languages. Our school motto, 'A Caring and Cultural community', underpins all that we do. At Cringila Public School we develop curious and resilient learners who are connected to culture and aspire to and strive for excellence. We prepare students for success with a focus on wellbeing, academic growth and social and emotional intelligence. In our setting, every child is known, valued and cared for through strong connections with culture, families and the wider community.
The quality teaching of literacy and numeracy across all stages is a priority. Following the principles of the Spiral of Inquiry, we will take a reflective and inquisitive approach to ongoing improvement. Staff are developing their skills to engage with the inquiry process to evaluate, consider and then make enhancements to improve student learning and wellbeing outcomes. Collaboration is increasingly embedded in our daily practice and we work closely in stage and whole school teams to deliver for our students and families.
The Assistant Principal, Curriculum and Instruction position is a leadership role dedicated to ensuring that literacy and numeracy knowledge and skills are embedded in curriculum and assessment; high quality teaching practices are enhanced; and the capabilities of middle leaders are strengthened in literacy and numeracy instruction. It shares the broader educational imperatives of the Assistant Principal position but with an explicit focus on the leadership of effective, evidence-based literacy and numeracy teaching and assessment practices for improved student learning outcomes across the curriculum.
The Assistant Principal, Curriculum and Instruction provides high support and guidance to enhance teacher growth and development in literacy and numeracy and strengthens schoolwide instructional capabilities across the curriculum for middle and senior leaders.
