Resource information
Visit Lakemba Public School, which serves a culturally diverse mix of students at the junction of Wiley Park, Punchbowl, Belmore, Roselands and McCallum’s Hill in the inner south west of Sydney. It is a culturally diverse area and more than 40 languages are spoken by families at the school.
Over the last 6 years Lakemba Public School has worked to build on their performance and development processes, to build the professional capacity of the teachers and to improve student outcomes. In addition to using the services of a principal mentor the school has restructured the roles of the executive group so that they can support the professional development of teachers, established stage related teams, scheduled fortnightly professional development sessions for all teachers, and introduced a lesson study focus.
Watch the video to see the approach the school takes, and download the case study to see how you might apply this to your own setting.
