Schools submit an electronic school self-assessment containing evidence to support their judgements about school effectiveness with a return timeframe negotiated at the conclusion of each PSR.

Review teams conduct school visits statewide to validate each school’s self‑assessment. Reports are prepared by Directors, Public School Review and endorsed by the Deputy Director General, Schools. Reports are then made available in the public domain for 12 months.

assess and monitor initiatives and investigations which have operational significance and policy implications for the School and Principal Review Directorate.
