EXAMPLE CONTEXT ANALYSIS EDPE346 Pilder Road State School Context Analysis

Pilder Road State School (PRSS) is a primary school located at Ashmore, north east of Townsville’s central business district. The school is co-educational and caters for approximately 400 students from prep through to Grade 7’s with approximately 15 full-time staff members in teaching roles (PRSS website). PRSS is a Queensland Government school and must therefore abide by certain government policies and guidelines with regards to the management of school activities, curriculum and essential learning. The school community comprises highly literate families from (describe socio-economic status) backgrounds. These families place high value on education. Results in the NAPLAN tests for Grade 3 in (give year) are above the state average. PRSS has developed a sense of pride for their academic, sporting, musical and cultural achievements. The culture of the school encourages members of the PRSS community to look out for each other, give back to the community and value all forms of learning. Currently at PRSS, a specialist HPE teacher is employed to deliver Physical Education, Sport and co-ordinate Health Education. Given the social standing of people living, working and playing in the surrounding area, a holistic approach to Health Education is adopted. Based on the health profile of students and the local context, health topics given particular attention are sun safety, indigenous communities, water safety and rural safety.
