  • NAPLAN Results Central Coast: How High Schools Ranked
    CENTRAL COAST EXPRESS ADVOCATE NAPLAN results Central Coast: How high schools ranked Richard Noone, Central Coast Express Advocate May 1, 2020 12:00am The 2019 NAPLAN test results are in. How did your school rank compared with all other Central Coast high schools? Central Coast Steiner School principal Rosemary Michalowski addressing students. The school ranked fourth in local secondary schools 2019 NAPLAN results. Private schools dominated the best performing Central Coast secondary schools, according to the latest NAPLAN data, with just the selective public Gosford High School in the top 10. Gosford High ranked first on the coast and 21st across NSW with the rest of the top 10 local schools being private or Christian schools. The surprise bolter was Central Coast Steiner School, which ranked fourth locally and 148th across NSW. Principal Rosemary Michalowski said the results were from literacy and numeracy learning programs they introduced in 2013 based on the Steiner method and other “best practice” education models. “I know it’s borne fruit,” she said. Central Coast Rudolf Steiner School student Arabella Zocher, deputy principal Tiffany Reynolds-Flannery, teacher Georgia Kingshott, Principal Rosemary Michalowski and Dobell Federal Labor MP Emma McBride pictured when the school was connected to the NBN. The small school has about 285 students with one class per year. Ms Michalowski said in primary years the teacher stayed with the same class as the students progressed from Years 1-6. “I think the main changes were, really in the early years, identifying students who needed support and employing highly trained teachers to give them extra attention,” she said.
