The ongoing provision of quality and effective pedagogical practice at LEPS has gained further recognition after the release of The Australian's - Your School publication last weekend.
A crude calculation of combined Year 3 and 5 NAPLAN results across the nation's Public, Catholic and Independent sectors highlighted our outstanding academic success when compared with their age equivalent cohort. The analysis of Literacy, Numeracy and Writing had LEPS placed at No.7 overall across Australia in 2013, with the Writing ranked even higher at No.5. This incredible data is based on the review of around 6000 primary school settings and is therefore a significant testament to the school community's collaborative and well balanced approach to education.
It is important to add that many other schools in the Northern Sydney Region and particularly in our North Shore network also performed very strongly. Many of our Public school partners dominate the Top 100. It's also more important to note that this comparison provides a snapshot of just one piece of assessment data and significant annual fluctuations are a reality in this extraction of simple data.
This success, however, should be celebrated and must be dedicated to the inspirational LEPS teachers that through innovation, commitment and a passion for 'making a difference' continue to adapt and deliver a first class learning environment for your children.
