Proud to be part of this powerful network of schools driving evidence-based practice. Wamberal PS continues to learn so much from our colleagues as we embed explicit teaching to support every student every day.

[Murat Dizdar @dizdarm]

The Entrance PS is in the top 10% of public schools for value-add data driven by explicit teaching. Thanks to The Entrance, Blue Haven, Budgewoi, Gorokan, Toukley, Northlakes, Brooke Avenue & Wamberal public schools for forming an explicit teaching network.https://t.co/iI31vZe5Jo

It is time to say goodbye to our visiting students from Japan. We have had a great time welcoming them into our school this week, sharing the outstanding learning occurring in NSW public education. #bluehavenpublicschool

[James Gray @JGray46]

This was one of the most beneficial exec PL days that I have participated in. It was all centred on collective efficacy!

[Blue Haven Public School @BlueHaven_PS]

Our executive staff completing Explicit Teaching demonstration lessons for each other, followed by shared coaching sessions. We worked on consistency and processes. What a great day of open and purposeful dialogue. #bluehavenpublicschool #BHPSleadership #coachingconsistency

[Jason Conroy @jasonmarkconroy]

@JGray46 @BlueHaven_PS @flashflan65 It was a privilege to lead the @BlueHaven_PS EV panel with the peer principal, @flashflan65.
In particular, hearing about the journey the school has been on in embedding explicit teaching practices.
Congratulations!

@jdtdobson @BlueHaven_PS @jasonmarkconroy @flashflan65 External Validation. During the 4-year School Excellence cycle, all NSW public schools must undertake one external validation of evidence of their school self-assessment against the SEF.

[James Gray @JGray46]

At @BlueHaven_PS we had our EV panel today with lead panelist @jasonmarkconroy and peer principal @flashflan65. It was fantastic to come together to evaluate and celebrate our amazing school. I thoroughly enjoy the EV process as part of the school excellence cycle.
