School Context
The School Validation process in 2010 identified many areas of commendation for Aranda Primary and made recommendations for future planning. These recommendations were considered and canvassed and an extensive data collection process was undertaken with the assistance of Michael King to ascertain the views and aspirations of all members of the Aranda learning community. All stakeholders including students from preschool to Year 6 were included in this process. A team of students, parents and executive staff then collated, sorted and summarised this data into achievable objectives for the next four years. The following strategic priorities were identified.
