    2. Why are we doing strategic plans? “The biggest challenge confronting education in Australia is how to overcome the gaps between high performing and low performing students which exist across all school sectors” (The Victorian Minister for Education and Training, Lynne Kosky Educating all Young Australians, 2004) The Victorian Government is committed to ensuring that all children are able to get an excellent education, and that all children have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of where they live, what school they attend or their home background. Strategic planning enables schools to plan for, and achieve, these improvements in student outcomes.The Victorian Government is committed to ensuring that all children are able to get an excellent education, and that all children have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of where they live, what school they attend or their home background.

    3. What is strategic planning? Strategy, properly formulated, should provide the central point around which a school community can focus and unite to ensure that every child at the school can get the best possible education. A strategic plan is your school’s voice. What does strategic planning mean? Strategic planning means that the school thinks about what it wants to achieve in the future, and plans how to get there to ensure that students can achieve. What does this plan do? The school's plan tells people what is important for the school and how the school will improve. The plan addresses: Why your school exists (its purpose) What is valued by your school and how it wants to operate (the values) The factors that will impact on your school over the next four years What your school wants to achieve over the next four years to help students achieve What about the School Charter? The School Strategic Plan replaces the School Charter. Charters included (amongst other things) details on all of the activities that the school undertook including legal requirements. As of 2007, these requirements will be collected in a separate document called the School Compliance Checklist. School strategic plans do not need to include such matters. Note: See the School Accountability & Improvement Framework training program for more information on how the strategic plan and the compliance checklist relate to each other.
