                              Student attendance: In 2020 the overall student attendance rate was 81.8%, this is 1.7% lower than the previous year (83.5).
                              6% (21) students had fewer than 4 days absence for the year, this is 2% fewer than in 2019. 56% (209) students had 20 or
                              more days absent for the year, this is the same as in 2019 (56%, 210). Getting some students back to school following Covid-
                              19 lockdowns was challenging. The transience (student mobility) percentage for 2020 was 24.3 (21.8% in 2019, 29.9% in
                              2018). In February 2019 only 27.5% (11/40) of the Year 8 cohort had completed all their previous primary schooling at Wiri
                              Central School. In February 2020 this was 45% (19/42) and in February 2021 this is 51% (19/37).
   Special character: Māori   Wiri Central School has a Māori bilingual unit (Mōkai Āwhina) working at Level 1 MLP. In 2020 there will be three classes
   medium and Samoan          covering the range Year 0 - Year 8. There are 47 students in Mōkai Āwhina as at February 2020.
   medium                     Wiri Central School has a Samoan bilingual unit (Fofoa i Vaoese). In 2020 there will be four classes covering the range Year 0
                              - Year 7. There are 61 students in Fofoa i Vaoese as at February 2020. Our goal is that by the end of Year 8 these students
                              will be bilingual and biliterate.
   Review of Charter and      School syndicate teams undertook regular termly review of the strategic plan which was shared and informed strategic
   Consultation               review and future goal setting with school management team and BOT. Ongoing community consultation is undertaken to
                              gather perspectives and aspirations for Māori and Pasifika students. In 2020 consultation occurred through informal
                              opportunities during school or roopu events and were limited due to Covid-19 restrictions. Information gathered during
                              consultation informs strategic decision making.

Other considerations:
Personnel:
Recruit teachers who are passionate about working with our students and our community. Maintain lower student/teacher ratios to support targeted teaching. Provide
appropriate teacher release for bilingual classes (release teachers that speak Maori/Samoan). Provide appropriate release for Leaders of Learning to support teacher
learning and classroom practice in their roopu. Maintain additional specialist teacher staffing – Reading Recovery, LSC. Support new staff through implementation of
staff induction processes and Beginning Teacher programmes as required. Grow current and future leaders – ensure alignment of current leaders and strategic direction
through ongoing collaboration.
Property:
Spaces to support the wide diversity of learners, e.g. spaces for specialist support services, quiet, distraction free spaces for learners who need or prefer this, spaces for
hands on learning, spaces for interacting. Enhance school grounds and property to support the development of the Wiri Whānau Way – an environment that fosters and
develops students’ wellbeing, cultural identity and engagement in learning. Implement 2018-2023 5YA, resolve weather-tightness issues with MOE, implement SIP
priorities. Projected roll growth classrooms planned due to additional housing within school zone – potential major redevelopment of school site to cater for roll growth.
Budget:
Increased IT tools to support student engagement in learning and implementation of Digital Technologies curriculum. Enhance school grounds and property to support
the development of the Wiri Whānau Way, including classroom furniture and equipment to support collaborative learning. Professional development/release to support
implementation of WCS curriculum and achievement of strategic goals. Maintain lower student/teacher ratios to support targeted teaching, maintain additional
specialist teacher staffing. Support student wellbeing and learning through targeted initiatives. Ensure infrastructure can support roll growth.

Pre Term 1   At a senior staff meeting before the start of the year - discuss the strand foci for
             2021 - suggest a schoolwide focus for each strand - just 2 or 3 weeks - have
             some in-house PD and planning opportunities.
Term 1       Complete classroom observations with the Leader of Learning. Look at the               CL and LoL   Release as required
             whole programme. What are the needs for each individual - teacher and leader           and/or TT
Throughout   To achieve the next steps as listed above we need to ensure all Leaders of                                                Connected maths planning- annual

                  ● checking the details in planning regularly, at least every two weeks.                                              term plans (numeracy and strand)
                       Looking to see:                                                                                                 weekly planning. Planning
                            ○ All parts of an effective maths programme are present in all                                             connected to data and evidence of
                                 rooms.                                                             CL and LoL                         students interests in planning.
                            ○ All parts of planning are completed prior to teaching.                                                   Attendance and evidence of
                            ○ The teaching model is evident in all classrooms.                                                         implementation from school
                            ○ The three phases of imaging are evident                                                                  workshops and MNC workshops.
                            ○ Knowledge is correctly targeted in class and group work.                                                 Vocabulary and language is evident
                            ○ The teaching model is used in strategy teaching                                                          in planning
                            ○ Problems are in a real context
                  If there are similar needs for a few staff then we will have some targeted
                       workshops
                  ● Completing at least 2 maths observations a term - the initial
                       observation in term 1 will include the whole programme - from this
                       observation the needs will be identified and the subsequent
                       observations will be more specific.
                            ○ Are we seeing what is planned?
