A school review and audit of Our Lady of the Rosary, Wyoming will determine a blue print for the school’s future development.
A close analysis of classrooms, programs, policies and documents by a panel of officials will soon be generated into a report that will assist in a re-evaluation of the school’s learning and teaching approaches.
After the findings have been released to the school, and those of the community who are interested, a term three strategic planning team will be devised which will involve a parent voice, and a new three-year strategic plan will then be formulated.
The plan will re-assess teaching and learning strategies, pastoral care, mission and certain non-curriculum items in accordance to the contents of the school review.
The school is committed to involving parents in organising the inclusion of an Asian language into the curriculum, whole school public speaking, development of student thinking skills through introduction of an inquiry learning approach, development of social and emotional intelligences through reigniting of KidsMatter, introduction of a new school readiness program and formulation of a new ICT plan which includes a social media presence.
These are just some of the directional changes that will be discussed for inclusion into the curriculum at OLR in accordance with the school review that is yet to be finalised.
