Position Information 

Holroyd High School is a small, successful comprehensive high school with a current enrolment of 476 students 7-12, including 86% non-English speaking backgrounds.  

The school has a strong focus on Visible Learning and high expectations in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment which enables all students to grow and progress as learners. The school has an Intensive English Centre for newly arrived students of non-English speaking background and a support unit for students with an intellectual disability and/or autism. The school receives equity funding to support students from low socio-economic backgrounds and we aim to support the needs of all learners through research, evidenced based and data informed practices. 

Our Strategic Improvement Plan prioritises the following strategic directions:

1. Student Growth and Attainment with a focus on data informed practices and personalised learning, feedback and assessment to enhance student performance measures in literacy, numeracy and the Higher School Certificate. This includes targeted approaches for equity groups such as EAL/D and Aboriginal learners. There is a commitment in the school that all students demonstrate growth and make continual learning progress. 

2. High Expectations with a focus on improving learning progress and achievement for all students through effective classroom practice and visible learning. Educational leadership and increased teacher collaboration through learning and development will be a focal point to drive continuous improvement and foster a culture of high expectations across the school.

3. Wellbeing and Engagement with a focus on social and emotional learning,  transition and continuity of learning for all students and increased attendance and participation. Positive relationships that foster connectedness and feelings of belonging are essential for wellbeing and positively affect a student's engagement and success in learning. We provide a caring, safe and inclusive environment that focuses on quality teaching, learning and engagement where students feel genuinely supported to grow and achieve, successfully enabling students to connect, succeed and thrive at school and beyond.
