2025-2027 Business Plan

Since opening its doors in 1972, Gooseberry Hill Primary School has proudly served the local community by providing a high-quality education to generations of families. Many of our students are the children and grandchildren of past pupils, creating a deep, enduring connection between the school and the wider community. This strong sense of belonging and pride is a defining feature of our school culture. Set in a beautiful bushland environment, Gooseberry Hill Primary School offers a unique and inspiring learning atmosphere surrounded by abundant nature and native wildlife. Our natural setting not only enhances the wellbeing of our students but also
enriches learning across all areas of the curriculum.

We are committed to delivering an excellent education, with a dedicated and highly skilled teaching staff who provide a caring and supportive environment where every child is known and valued. Our school fosters academic success, underpinned by the effective use of data to inform teaching practices, ensuring that every student is supported and challenged at their point of need. At the same time, we maintain a strong focus on developing the whole child, nurturing social, emotional, and creative growth.

Students at Gooseberry Hill Primary School benefit from a wide range of opportunities to explore and excel in both core and specialist areas. Our outstanding programs in music, sport, visual arts, and languages are delivered by passionate educators who inspire curiosity, creativity, and personal achievement. Through a strong partnership with families and the broader community, Gooseberry Hill Primary School continues to uphold its long-standing tradition of excellence, opportunity, and care, preparing students not only for the next stage of their education, but for a lifetime of learning and success.

We seek wisdom by striving for excellence and success through a nurturing and challenging environment, rich with rigour and experience.

The 2025–2027 Business Plan for Gooseberry Hill Primary School has been developed in alignment with the aspirations set by the Department of Education, ensuring it is relevant to our community and responsive to the needs of our students.

This plan is focused on supporting every student in every public school to:

• Unlock and fulfil their learning potential
• Develop the personal and social attributes essential for future wellbeing
• Achieve consistent, year-on-year growth in their learning
• Gain the skills and capabilities required for contemporary and emerging workplaces
• Be well-prepared to transition successfully into further education, training, or employment

This Business Plan sets out the targets, processes, and strategies that the school, in partnership with the wider community, will work towards. It outlines the ongoing practices, behaviours, and actions that will be embedded across the school to ensure sustained success.

Our goal at Gooseberry Hill Primary School is to prepare our students to thrive in life beyond primary school. We believe that the key to unlocking the potential of every student lies in creating a learning environment where they feel safe, valued, and connected to a sense of purpose within their community.
