This Site Improvement Plan is underpinned by our vision and school values. The
development of the strategic directions is directed by the DECD Improvement
and Accountability Framework. Learning Areas will unpack and plan strategies for
classroom implementation in their teaching and learning programs. Staff will be
given the opportunity to collaborate and share across all learning areas. Data
evidence is the assessment tool to measure the implementation of teaching and
learning strategies and learning improvements.

SCHOOL VISION
Murray Bridge High School aspires to actively engage students in the learning process. By incorporating the values of
excellence, respect and working together, students acquire the skills and knowledge to become active global citizens.
Our vision is for every student to strive for their personal best within a strong and supportive community.
Latin Ngarrindjeri
Sic itur ad astra Ngunangk tuldar witjunggildhur toran
The school’s Latin motto translates to “In this way we reach the stars”. It means that Murray Bridge High School is a step in
our students’ journey into their future and that the education they receive here will become their passport to fulfilling
whatever dreams and ambitions they might have.
Murray Bridge High School acknowledges that the land where we meet to learn and continue our journey in education is
the traditional lands for the Ngarrindjeri people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with the country. We also
acknowledge the Ngarrindjeri people as the custodians of the Lower Murray and Coorong region and that their cultural
and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Ngarrindjeri people today.
In consultation with the local Aboriginal Elders Group an Aboriginal motto has been devised to coexist with our traditional
motto and so display and acknowledge the Aboriginal heritage of this region. The motto in English reads “Together we
gather the Stars” and speaks to both our school value of working together and the spirit of reconciliation that Murray
Bridge High School aspires to engender in our community.
We value:
Excellence – Respect – Working together
CONTEXT STATEMENT
Murray Bridge High School is a learning community committed to providing an inclusive, caring and supportive
environment where excellence in academic achievement, respect and working together are valued. Students are
challenged to achieve their potential through rigorous programs that focus on building the knowledge, skills and values for
a productive life as a respected citizen in our future society.
The school offers a variety of quality pathways that meet the needs of students. It is a school with a long-standing
reputation for delivering effective teaching and learning dating back to 1913 and shaping the community leaders of
tomorrow. Murray Bridge High School strives for excellence across all aspects of the school. With an increased focus on
school pride and the school’s traditions the school is continuing to move forward.
The leadership and representational skills of students is enhanced through activities such as academic, creative and sporting
pursuits, the Student Representative Council and participation in school and community forums. Students must be
positioned to take their place in a vibrant, multi-cultural, pluralist and democratic Australia. They must be responsible and
adaptive citizens who will be able to operate in the economy as an employer, employee, volunteer, contractor or a
combination of several or all.
The school seeks to engage students in authentic real world learning experiences. Students will be offered opportunities
to develop their technological attributes. Partnerships and networks with other education providers, community groups
and agencies will be established in order to provide opportunity and add value to school programs.
Staff, both teaching and support, are the cornerstone upon which excellence in school programs is fostered. Staff will be
treated with consideration, access to relevant professional development and participate in effective performance
management. The professional development of staff will impact on, and inform, improved classroom practice and lead to
enhanced student outcomes. Staff are expected to have high expectations for their students and engage effectively with
parents and especially where there are concerns about student progress.
Parents can expect that they will be kept informed of student progress and that they are regarded as a partner with
teachers in the education process. There should be “no surprises” at reporting times. Parents will be provided with
informed advice about student pathways and the opportunity to work with school staff in managing student issues.
Parents will be provided with a number of opportunities to contribute to school forums, including aspects of the school’s
decision making processes. The expertise that parents can bring to the school’s operations and contribute to the
educational process is valued. Parents/Caregivers are encouraged to participate in school forums such as the Governing
Council and Parents and Friends as well as contribute in other ways that enhance student opportunities.
Murray Bridge High School aims to make a difference for its students. Students graduating from Murray Bridge High
School will be equipped with the attributes to be independent, lifelong learners and effectively contribute to society.
