The Deputy Secretary, School Performance DOE Mr Murat Dizdar, accompanied by other senior system leaders, visited Forbes Public School on Thursday,1st September.
Mr Murat was greeted by our SRC leaders before viewing every classroom, sharing in delight the wonderful student results, our teaching practice, the engagement of students and strong school culture of efficacy.
Educational journey was the theme of Mr Dizdars visit, as he was presented with a ‘Forbes Public School Travel Journal’ to mark this occasion, filled with wonderful results, stories and extracts of each year group.
As he visited each classroom, teachers and students had the opportunity to share with him the everyday teaching and learning opportunities that take place, their classes and classroom practice, referring to the featured pages that reflect them and their students in his take away ‘travel journal’.
Our school grounds, so green at the moment and framed by the lake, as well as the refurbishment of our classrooms, our new outdoor learning space, dubbed Conservation Corner, and the cultural safety projects inclusive of our new PBL signs in Wiradjuri and totem murals were all things that staff and students took great pride in showing.
Mr Murat’s visit was made significant by the unveiling of a piece of artwork by Cheree Stokes which celebrates our flourishing school community. Cheree collected our staff’s personal FPS stories in the form of words and symbols and then incorporated them into this visual representation. The artwork showcases the strong culture our school shares and the journeys our staff have been on.
We were honoured to receive such distinguished guests and relished the opportunity to highlight our wonderful school.
