Business Plan Draft

I would like to include a blurb at the front of our Business Plan which provides some school contextual information as well as a clear statement about how our school is distinctive. Below is a draft which I would like feedback on.

Welcome to Tuart Hill Primary School: Growth in Knowledge

The Tuart Hill Primary School community is committed to maintaining a positive heritage and rich history of quality education which has been developed over 100 years. Commencing as an independent public school in 2012, Tuart Hill Primary School has a clear vision and direction for the future with a strong focus on raising the literacy levels of all students. Our goal is for our students to be well prepared for their future, equipped to prosper economically, to be happy and secure in themselves, and ready to contribute positively to the community in which they live.

The staff at Tuart Hill Primary School are dedicated to providing all students with an opportunity to achieve success and reach their full potential. We desire that all our students leave Tuart Hill being well prepared for the future, equipped to succeed in subsequent schooling, to be happy and secure in themselves, and ready to contribute to their community.

At Tuart Hill Primary School we treat students as individuals, providing them with learning experiences that are challenging, motivating and that meet their needs. Teachers use classroom management strategies that build belongingness as well as cooperative learning strategies that enhance engagement and increase the depth of student learning.
