School to be subject to 'external validation'

Ettalong Public School will be subject to "external validation" on Tuesday, October 18, according to principal Mr Colin Wallis.

"A small team will visit the school to see first-hand how well our school performs in a range of areas," Mr Wallis said.

"External validation will eventually be conducted in all schools across the state and is an opportunity for the school to evaluate and assess all aspects of the school.

"Over the past two terms a small team, led by Ms Stephanie Seddon, has been conducting this quite rigorous process determining where our school sits on the School Excellence Framework matrix.

"The external team will meet with me, Ms Seddon and the team to discuss our findings.

"This has involved much time and effort but has been a most valuable process for the school and complements our already extensive school evaluation processes," Mr Wallis said.
