Ambassador School win for Auburn North

OTHER NSW schools will be soon be taking lessons from the team of staff, parents and students led by principal Mark Harris (left), after Auburn North Public School was named as one of the State’s first three Ambassador Schools.

PRINCIPAL Mark Harris’ smile got a little wider last week after Auburn North Public was named one of three newly created Ambassador Schools.

The school, which has already racked up a long list of achievements and accolades, will now become an official role model for other schools around the state.
“All members of the Auburn North family, that is our students, staff and parents, consider it an absolute honour to be selected,” he said.
“However, we believe we are just like all other NSW public schools where staff and parents work together strategically and in harmony to assist students achieve outstanding wellbeing and learning outcomes.”
With their best practice to be shared with similar schools that are underperforming, Education Minister Sarah Mitchell said the list of three Ambassador Schools would grow to 10 by the end of the year.
Ms Mitchell said an initial trio of schools, including Auburn North, had proven through their results, that the practices they were using made a huge difference for their students.
“This program defines our system. We do not accept mediocrity, we strive for the best, and we will proudly use our highest performing public schools to achieve that,” Ms Mitchell said.
“What these schools are doing is effective and this program will capture their methods to drive high performance in other schools across the state.
“These are the expert voices that our best principals, government and the department need to be listening to when making decisions.”
