The Education Department has created a learning program for more able students and invited Drysdale Primary School to be a part of this. At this stage the Education Department has identified some of our students who meet their criteria.
I would like to acknowledge the work of the staff at Drysdale Primary who have been focused on ensuring all children make the progress of which they are capable. It is a big part of our school philosophy to do this for both for children who are below state expectations and those who are above.
Generically in education systems it is easier to focus on the children below and harder to accelerate the children who are above. Addressing the needs of all children as we do at Drysdale Primary is hardest of all requiring great learners, great teachers and a belief in every child.
