One of the key functions of the School Council is to contribute to the establishment of the broad vision and direction for the school. Strategic planning is the process of reflecting on past performance, establishing future directions and deciding what will constitute success. In other words, it involves the school community considering these questions:
• Where have we been?
• Where do we want to go?
• How will we get there?
• How will we know if we have been successful?
The Department has developed a Framework for Improving Student Outcomes (FISO 2.0) which is the continuous improvement framework for all Victorian government schools.
The FISO 2.0 has been redesigned to place learning and wellbeing at the centre of school improvement and is a direct response to the findings of the Royal Commission into Victoria’s Mental Health System and advice from the profession.
- The FISO 2.0 comprises of:
- the 2 outcomes of learning and wellbeing
- the 5 core elements of leadership, teaching and learning, assessment, engagement, and support and resources
- the 10 dimensions that underpin the elements and, indicate priority areas of practice to improve students’ learning and wellbeing.
When integrated, these elements build a positive environment through strong relationships that enables all students to become:
-
-
- happy, healthy, and resilient
- successful lifelong learners
- active, informed members of just and sustainable communitie
