Deputy Secretary visits Plumpton High

 

Plumpton High School welcomed the Deputy Secretary, School Operations & Performance, Mr Murat Dizdar to our great school. Our students and staff presented a snapshot of the innovative and creative high quality teaching and learning undertaken at Plumpton. We lived a lesson in the integrating of Language, computer science and robotics to provide students the capabilities they require to be successful global entrepreneurs and citizens.

Part of lesson 1 explored our literacy strategy incorporating the Accelerated Reader program to improve capacity of students that is enabling them to access the curriculum at a higher level.

Lesson 2 surrounded the integration of Media Industry Studies and corporate partnerships in developing students for their future through the development of a comprehensive school communication strategy in partnership with The ABC. Students developing portfolios of work in the media industry to utilise in gaining access to university. Lesson 2 also investigated the STEM world of the metal trades industry and integration of computer aided drafting/design using plasma cutters and other digital industry standard tools.

Lesson 3 investigated student and staff wellbeing, leadership and capacity building frameworks and strategies at Plumpton. This involved our School Captains, Vice-Captains, Deputy Principals and the Principal discussing our evidence-based approach.

 

Our students and staff thank Mr Dizdar for taking time to understand what we are doing to implement a significant cultural shift in our school that is resulting in excellent student growth and achievement as well as the developing of high quality leaders and educators.
