NSW Education Week in 2017 will celebrate personalised student learning through the theme I Learn, We Learn.

 ‘I Learn’ showcases the range of evidence-based approaches to quality teaching that public schools across NSW adopt to meet each student’s diverse needs and strengths.

‘We Learn’ emphasises the community of learning that is the 800,000 students, 86,000 staff and 2200 schools which make up the NSW education system.

Taken together I Learn, We Learn communicates the department’s commitment to ensuring its students are at the heart of learning, that each student’s potential is identified and developed by a partnership between quality teaching, supportive school environments, and engaged parents and carers.

NSW Department of Education secretary Mark Scott said Education Week 2017 aimed to highlight how the quality of education in NSW was shaped by what happened every day in individual classrooms.

“Our commitment is to high expectations, delivering the best possible outcomes for children in our care, Mr Scott said.

“It is a commitment that every child will improve every year, that every teacher is sharpening his or her skills and improving as well and that every school has higher and higher standards and is delivering better outcomes.”

NSW Education Minister Rob Stokes said NSW public schools had played a central role in their communities for more than 100 years.

“Public schools are a place where young people, older people and our community members can meet with a shared vision to help our young people grow and learn,” Mr Stokes said.

“One of the great things about schools as inclusive learning environments is that regardless of someone’s age, life’s circumstances or journey through life we can come together and learn from one another,” Mr Stokes said.

Education Week is a highlight of the public school calendar as it provides an opportunity to showcase the achievements of public education in NSW.

NSW public schools offer world-class education to students from all walks of life. Public education provides students with the opportunity to shape their future, no matter what their background, in a supportive and academically rigorous culture.

During Education Week (Monday July 31 – Friday August 4) schools across NSW will invite parents, grandparents and community members into their classrooms to share the success of students, teachers and support staff.

During Education Week public schools will showcase how they use evidence-based approaches to quality teaching to address the needs of students across a diverse range of learning levels.
