SUMMARY STATEMENTS (You may choose to comment on both personal and professional characteristics)
School Coordinator/Principal
Hayden has demonstrated that he has a satisfactory knowledge of ACARA Health and Physical
Education Curriculum and Health and PE Curriculum at Stage 1. Hayden has adapted
curriculum content to cater for a variety of students’ learning needs and abilities. He has sought
out resources that enable him to differentiate work in this curriculum area. Hayden participated
in the delivery of the Year 9 Home group program supporting the SHINE curriculum.
Hayden has found the delivery of English curriculum more complex and challenging and this is
obviously an area of his professional practice he will need to improve on if he is required to
teach this subject.
Hayden has engaged in a professional manner and conduct throughout his teaching practicum
at Springbank Secondary College. He established good working relationships with teaching
staff and the student cohort. He was able to take advice and make plans to improve his teaching
practice and behaviour management strategies where appropriate. Throughout this professional
experience timeframe, Hayden has actively engaged in professional development activities at
Springbank Secondary College including the planning and delivery of interdisciplinary focussed
STEAM curriculum. He also participated in the Mitcham Plains Collaborative Moderation
program.
On behalf of Springbank Secondary College, we wish Hayden a successful and rewarding
professional career.
University Liaison
Hayden has had a unique professional experience at Springbank Secondary College. His
classes comprised a wide range of students with diverse and specific learning needs in addition
to a range of challenging behaviours. This context demonstrated that he is more confident in his
curriculum knowledge and pedagogy in H&PE than English. He demonstrated his ability to take
feedback into account when planning follow up lessons and I saw his confidence improve during
the placement. He was aware of the diverse needs of his students but sometimes struggled to
provide appropriately for all of them. Hayden has increased his knowledge and application of
classroom and behaviour management strategies during his placement. He conducted himself in
a professional manner throughout the placement and established positive relationships with staff
and students.
I wish him well in his future teaching career.

Professional Knowledge: Hayden’s knowledge of the HPE curriculum is at a satisfactory level
and he was able make the key concepts apparent to the students. His units of work were
planned and delivered in a logical sequence, however he still needs to ensure that summative
assessment tasks are effectively designed in order to maximise this learning and allow the
students to demonstrate evidence of their knowledge. Hayden was able to evaluate the types of
learner that he had in his classes and plan accordingly, such as incorporating the use of ICTs
and using class discussions rather than constant written work to consolidate understanding with
the year 8/9 HPE class.
Professional Engagement: Hayden engaged professionally with HPE staff from partnering
schools during the collaborative moderation process and used this opportunity to develop his
understanding of effective task design. He also assisted the year 8 care group through the
Student Led Conference process, which involved him engaging professionally with students and
their parents. When Hayden commences his teaching career, he would benefit from
collaborating with his colleagues and utilising and adapting their tasks and resources that are
tried and tested until he has enough depth of knowledge and experience to create his own from
scratch.
