This document outlines a school's literacy plan to improve student outcomes across several spheres. The plan identifies school improvement goals in areas like education, leadership, learning and teaching, student wellbeing, and community engagement. Intended outcomes are to deepen student engagement and understanding in subjects like religion and improve literacy, numeracy, and connections between home and school. Key improvement strategies include introducing tools to measure student performance, monitoring work programs, and implementing a multimodal teaching approach. Specific actions proposed are writing a literacy plan, establishing peer observations, and ensuring professional learning time is devoted to literacy teaching and the development of a shared vision.
