Setting priorities and clear expectations to enable schools to make local decisions as active and accountable members of our system.
Actions include:
- strengthening local decision-making and differentiated supervision and support by establishing a new performance and accountability framework
- implementing our plan to reduce red tape across the system, regions and schools
- streamlining state school resourcing so that schools have the supports and resources they need to deliver what matters
- developing guidance for place-based responses to support schools to respond to local need
- strengthening consistent enrolment practices and networked approaches that promote local state schools as schools of choice
- driving further transparency in our infrastructure investment prioritisation approach
- maximising opportunities in the lead up to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
A strong education system provides the necessary support structures for schools to operate effectively, while also recognising and responding to the unique local context of every school.
School leaders make a real difference when they are empowered to make local decisions and lead with confidence, clarity and support as active and accountable members of our state schooling system.
Recognising that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work, guidance and advice for schools about priorities, along with clear and consistent information around performance expectations and accountability, will support school leaders to have the greatest local impact, as a part of our connected system.
As part of a connected, world-class state education system, a focus on strong leadership and local decision-making will build on our renewed school supervision model to ensure every state school is empowered to operate at their best through differentiated and targeted support and resourcing.
Teachers play the most powerful role in shaping the future of our students. Simplifying, reducing and removing unnecessary administrative burden and red tape enables teachers to focus on time spent with students, putting teaching and learning first.
Place-based responses empower schools and their communities to respond to unique challenges through tailored solutions and shared decision-making, fostering trust and delivering sustainable outcomes.
Trust in the state school system is further strengthened when we work together, following consistent practices and transparent approaches, to achieve excellence within our system, making every state school a school of choice.
By providing schools with the supports they need, when they need them, we drive whole-school improvement and excellence across the state.
