  • 2020 Sydney Girls High School Annual Report
    2020 Annual Report Sydney Girls High School 8138 Page 1 of 18 Sydney Girls High School 8138 (2020) Printed on: 28 April, 2021 Introduction The Annual Report for 2020 is provided to the community of Sydney Girls High School as an account of the school's operations and achievements throughout the year. It provides a detailed account of the progress the school has made to provide high quality educational opportunities for all students, as set out in the school plan. It outlines the findings from self-assessment that reflect the impact of key school strategies for improved learning and the benefit to all students from the expenditure of resources, including equity funding. School contact details Sydney Girls High School Moore Park Surry Hills, 2010 www.sydneygirl-h.schools.nsw.edu.au [email protected] 9331 2336 Message from the principal Despite the challenges of 2020 the school continued to deliver high level investment in the lives and learning of all students at Sydney Girls High. Appreciation is due to all staff, parents and student leaders who were significant in maintaining morale and close communication across the months of online learning when the school was operating without a physical presence and we were forced to respond to the ever changing conditions in NSW schools. Out of this extraordinary year emerged some remarkable achievements and a greater sense of appreciation of the value of friendship and collegiality which school life provides for us all. A landmark achievement was the construction of our long awaited building The Governors Centre with Sydney Boys High which throughout the months of the pandemic was able to be progressed with few interruptions to the building schedule.

  • 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.
