High-quality, evidence-informed teaching is helping drive strong outcomes for Year 3 students across our school, with NAPLAN results demonstrating achievement and growth that exceeds national averages.
At St Peter Chanel, we have been continually refining teaching practice, using data and evidence to inform instruction, and maintaining a clear focus on student learning and growth.
This year, we celebrated strong NAPLAN results, with Year 3 students achieving high levels of performance across literacy and numeracy.
In Writing, 92 per cent of Year 3 students achieved in the Strong or Exceeding proficiency bands, while 88 per cent reached these levels in Grammar and Punctuation, and 84 per cent in Spelling. In both Reading and Numeracy, 84 per cent of students also achieved in the Strong and Exceeding bands.
Our Principal, Bec O'Connor, said the school's strong NAPLAN results were the culmination of several years of disciplined work to strengthen teaching practice and improve student outcomes.
"Our NAPLAN growth wasn't the result of a single program,” she said.
“It reflects years of disciplined engagement with Brisbane Catholic Education supported initiatives such as Foundations for Success, and a commitment to improving the consistency of teaching practice across every classroom.
"Teachers have developed a shared language, common instructional approaches and a deeper understanding of effective literacy practices. This consistency, combined with ongoing professional learning and a strong focus on evidence-informed teaching, has helped create the conditions for sustained student growth."
