Our policies and reports help families understand how our school works. Our annual report and school plan show what we’ve done and how we’re improving each year. Our policies address attendance, absences, behaviour, uniform and how we respond to your concerns.
Annual school report
Each year, we share our progress in the annual school report. It gives families a clear picture of how our school is performing and how we’re supporting every student’s success. The report reflects our commitment to openness, accountability and continuous improvement.
The report includes:
- what we’re doing well and where we’re improving
- student achievement and academic progress
- our school vision and goals
- key highlights and milestones
- challenges we’ve faced and how we’re addressing them.
School excellence plan
Our school excellence plan (SEP) is a working document that shows our priorities in learning, teaching and leading. It explains our focus areas for improvement and how we plan to get there. We write our SEP with help from our school community so it reflects our shared priorities.
School behaviour support and management plan
Our school has a school behaviour support and management plan (SBSMP). The SBSMP helps us create a safe, respectful and supportive learning environment for all students. It sets clear expectations for student behaviour. This includes how we respond to bullying and cyberbullying. We work together with our school community to shape the plan and review it each year.
High potential and gifted education
At Parry School, we recognise that some students show advanced potential in areas such as thinking, creativity, leadership, physical ability or social, emotional skills. These strengths can emerge even when a student has experienced barriers to learning, mental health challenges, or inconsistent school engagement.
Because of this, we take a strengths-based approach to understanding each student and supporting their growth.
What is high potential and gifted education?
Parry School is a short-term intervention setting, and students remain enrolled at their home school while attending. When a student with high potential or giftedness is identified, we work in partnership with their home school to ensure they continue to access appropriate enrichment, extension and specialised opportunities.
This may include:
- liaising with the home school about the student’s strengths and identified domain(s) of high potential
- coordinating learning adjustments, enrichment tasks and extension activities that can be completed at Parry
- supporting flexible arrangements so students can continue participating in specialist programs, sport, creative arts, leadership or academic pathways offered by their home school
- embedding relevant goals, strategies and monitoring into the student’s IEP and PLP
- ensuring continuity of learning so students maintain progress during their time at Parry
Our priority is to nurture the student’s strengths while supporting their wellbeing and readiness to successfully transition back to their home school environment.
