The 2018 Annual plan outlines RHS commitment to excellence through both the achievement targets set for groups of students and through the action steps outlined in the teaching and learning;

and dynamic curriculum strategic goals.

● The Annual Plan provides the work plan for each of the strategic lead team portfolios and informs their goals for the year. The 2018 Annual Plan has been written as a work plan for each of the

strategic lead team portfolios and informed their goals for the year.
