School Plan 2009-2011

Nyngan High School ContextNyngan High is a comprehensive school in a remote rural location. We have 180 students, 25% of whom are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent. We draw from four partner schools – Nyngan, Hermidale and Girilambone Public Schools and St Josephs Primary School. Students travel up to 75 kilometres daily. The majority of the teaching staff has had three or less years in the classroom. Most Executive staff are in their positions for the first time. The school is supported by equity programs including the Priority Schools Funding Program, Low SES National School Partnerships Funding and Country Areas Program funding. Our school continues to provide growth in the areas of literacy and numeracy, with data concluding that Nyngan High School performs better across all strands in Literacy and Numeracy compared with our Like School Groups. Three major programs operate in the school. These include the Middle School involving Year 6 students from partner schools attending this school for one day a week in Terms 2 and 3 and being taught Stage Three outcomes by specialist teachers across a range of faculty areas; Literacy and Numeracy mentors supporting students and staff in a range of areas including staff professional development, Quicksmart Numeracy training and individual data analysis using the Multilit and Neale analysis tools and; an Engagement Program focusing on improving teacher quality across all areas of the NSW Quality Teaching Framework.

The school introduced a full VET day in 2010 and virtually all Stage 6 students complete at least one VET Course. Many students in Stage 5 also access VET subjects. In 2011, the range of VET courses taught has increased, with many students accessing online versions of these courses through TAFE in larger towns. The school had integrated sport for students in Years 7 to 10, allowing the P.E. staff to run skills based sport activities until the end of Term 1 2011. From the beginning of Term 2, Sport for Year 7 to 10 students will occur simultaneously. Students will be offered a wider range of activities on this afternoon, including traditional sporting activities and other creative based pursuits for students electing to work towards a Whole School Musical Production in September 2011.

Nyngan High School is committed to the enrichment and extension of all students, including Gifted and Talented Students. In 2011, one Year 7 student and one Year 8 student learn through the Western Region Virtual Selective School ixsel Program. Four Year 8 students are part of the Regional ixtend Program. Beginning Term 2 2011, the school offers a Stage 4 Enrichment Class and Stage 5 Enrichment Class which cater for the unique educational needs of high achieving students. Students achieving expected outcomes for their year level are placed in straight classes in their current year group. Students working towards the achievement of outcomes for their year level are catered for through a Stage 4 and Stage 5 Opportunity Class where students are provided intensive remediation.
