Auburn North public school outperforms others despite English not being the first language for 98% of students
Despite the school’s catchment being among the most diverse and disadvantaged in New South Wales, Harris and his school“We’re aware that schools with a low socioeconomic disadvantage status and 98% English as an additional language or dialect should not be theoretically performing as well as state average, but we discard that,” he said.“We know that we’re better than that. Our students deserve much better than that.
It also included independent or religious schools, like John the Baptist Catholic primary school, Northcross Christian school, Al-Faisal college, St Narsai Assyrian Christian college andAuburn North’s success was not a surprise to Harris, who said careful planning and an intricate understanding of the local community has helped propel school results.The students at Auburn North public school are ‘as capable, if not more capable than most people their age in the state’, says Harris.
Most prominently, the school involves parents in learning, offering 10 to 12 grade-based workshops a year for parents, where teachers explain to the parents how literacy and numeracy is being taught in the classrooms.
