East Hills Girls Technology High School院校介绍

  The school's Mission and Statement of Purpose indicates that the school is committed to creating a stimulating, disciplined and purposeful learning environment that encourages students to pursue excellence in studies, sport and cultural activities. The school, students and parents have received many prestigious awards including the Director General's Award for Exceptional Quality and Outstanding Achievements in Quality Education for girls. In 1999 the school underwent a Technology School Review to keep its name as a Technology High School.

  The outcome was highly successful and the report produced by the external panel is an excellent one indicating the commitment of the whole school community to "educating girls for a technological future". The school's report will be included in the "Outstanding Schools Program" book. The school believes in education as a partnership between students, parents and staff. It is the strength of this partnership that ensures that the best educational outcomes occur. The school also has a strong presence in its own community and enjoys strong community and business support.

  Students’ results in statewide tests continue to reflect high expectations, commitment to quality teaching, the strong partnerships that we have with our parents and the consistent effort by our students. In the 2010 School Certificate (SC) 58 Band 6’s and 244 Band 5’s, making a total of 302 highest bands were awarded to students. There were high percentages of students’ achievements in the other external tests as well.

  Our Higher School Certificate (HSC) results included 14 students on the Distinguished Achievers List. Twenty one courses were above the state average. Congratulations all our HSC students, especially to Lilian Zsigoszki who came 8th in the state in Business Studies and achieved an ATAR of 99.15, an outstanding result! Our school received a very complimentary letter from the Board of Studies congratulating our school on the excellent HSC results and on the school’s inclusion in the list of top schools in the state.

  We enjoy celebrating our students’ success at many formal assemblies, as well as special assemblies such as the Creative and Performing Arts, Sport, Leadership, Effort, Merit and Academic Presentation Assemblies. To all students who have been acknowledged by an award, congratulations on doing your best. Always ‘Reach for the Moon’, that is aim high!

  Digital learning has been a strong focus throughout 2010. We formed a partnership with Pearson, well known publishers of digital teaching and learning resources. Three faculties have been active in using their on-line text books and workbooks which are accessible by students and teachers online at any time from any place. All faculties have work on MOODLE, our school’s e-learning software platform and this is always accessible by students.

  Our school’s online ‘Learning to Learn’ program provides students from Year 7 to Year 9 with the knowledge and skills to become effective, responsible and independent learners. This online program is strengthened with seminars for students in years 10, 11 and 12.

  This year, we carried out a very comprehensive evaluation of Information Technology in Pedagogy and Network Management. The evaluation report acknowledged the work done by the school and also recommended the steps that need to be taken to ensure that our school’s Vision continues to create a blueprint for the future. Implementing these recommendations will be an exciting journey of change as we develop new initiatives to increase the impact that we have on teaching and learning in our school.

  Our school is future-focused. We constantly seek to build on the past, to inspire, challenge and support our students to learn, aim high and to succeed. We are committed to the values of excellence, responsibility and equity.

  Our school was proud to be acknowledged for the strong partnership that we have with our parents and carers. Our school was presented with the South Western Sydney Region Award for Schools of Excellence for Increased Parental Engagement in Supporting their Child’s learning.

  This award acknowledges the work done by the staff for all the information evenings and events that we have implemented to help parents/carers support their child’s learning.

  I certify that the information in this report is the result of a rigorous school self-evaluation process and is a balanced and genuine account of the school’s achievements and areas for development.
