This is a unique opportunity for an exemplary practitioner to lead in a well-established leadership team. The leadership team is focused on delivering high-quality leadership, focusing on individual students and early intervention at the point of need, ensuring students at risk of not achieving expected outcomes in literacy or numeracy are identified and receive additional support. We have identified the need to use evidence-informed practices to ensure all students access high-quality, visible teaching and learning. Our focus on a consistent approach to pedagogy drive the improvement measures across the school. North Nowra Public School is located in the Shoalhaven with 183 students, including 50 Aboriginal students. The school caters for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. The school also has three Support Unit classes. The school has contextualised aspects of the Positive Behaviour for Learning framework into ‘The North Nowra Way’ to develop a positive and supportive learning culture. Our approach is focused on being safe, responsible and respectful members of the learning community. Strong collaborative partnerships with the community (including the P&C & AECG) are integral to ensuring the best outcomes for all students. We will continue to engage in celebrations and initiatives that reflect community consultation deeply. This includes acknowledging the Yuin Lands and respecting the Wodi Wodi Aboriginal People who are part of our community.
