ERO
Macandrew School’s ERO was last completed in 2019 and was extremely positive.
The values of respect, responsibility, passion for learning, independence, honesty, and kindness are embedded within the curriculum.
Current strategic priorities are continuing to improve outcomes and achievement levels in literacy and numeracy, to improve confidence and enjoyment of students in learning, and to continue to develop the broad curriculum (STEAM).
