5 School Overview Trinity Catholic Primary School is part of Our Lady Help of Christians Parish and services families in the Narre Warren South area. We commenced 2016 with 498 students and 3 learning areas Junior, Middle and Senior. Our learning focus continued with Ownership of Learning and we continued to work closely with parents to develop the whole child through a comprehensive curriculum where the learning is contemporary, engaging, exciting and relevant. In 2016 we began the refurbishment of our student learning areas to create contemporary, flexible and modern 21 st century learning spaces. Further developments were made to increase student access to ICT resources to support student learning. Our assessment schedule allows us to identify areas of individual need and to cater our programs accordingly. We are very blessed to have such a professional, dedicated and welcoming staff. During 2016 we joined a Collective of 4 schools. Staff Professional Learning and development was an integral part of the Collective meetings throughout the 2016 school year. The professional learning aimed to ensure that we continue to deliver the best possible learning opportunities to the students in our care. Staff understanding and commitment to the Victorian Child Safe Standards was a priority in 2016 as well as ensuring our students are able to learn in a safe, welcoming environment that is well resourced and where everyone is respected ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 4

7 Education in Faith Goals That the Catholicity of Trinity is vibrant and strong. That staff and students take ownership of learning in Religious Education lessons, the Parish Sacramental Program and Religious Feasts and Celebrations. Outcomes High quality pedagogy consistently reflects and promotes our Catholic school Our lived actions demonstrate to all in our community we are a Catholic school. The Religious Education Curriculum is central to creating an environment of dialogue and recontextualisation. Achievements Theme Year of Mercy Commitment to Vocation As a Parish community, staff from the three Parish schools began the school year with Mass, celebrated by Parish Priest Fr Brendan Hogan. Staff declared their commitment to their vocation in a Catholic school at the Parish Commitment Mass. Staff continue to be actively involved in the family centered, parish based and school supported Sacramental program by attending Sacramental celebrations and conducting Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation workshops and reflection days. Staff continued to deepen their faith throughout the year by actively engaging in PLT and Staff Meetings, focusing on enhancing dialogue and exploring the Revised Religious Education Curriculum. Dr Rose Duffy and Dr Rose Marie Prosser facilitated a Spirituality and Faith Formation day on Creation through the Scriptures. These sessions allowed staff to explore and reflect on their own personal faith journey and how as catholic educators they are called to be part of the evangelising mission of the Church. Catholic Education Week Theme God s Mercy is from age to age To celebrate the launch of Catholic Education Week, the Year 6 School Leaders gathered with representatives from Parish schools across the Diocese to celebrate mass at St Mary s Cathedral in Sale. Families and members of the school community were also invited into the classroom each day to join with the students in their daily prayer sessions. During this time the students focused on Trinity s motto of Faith, Hope and Love and shared their learnings and understanding about Jesus. The school also celebrated their own cultural diversity with a dress up day, recognising and celebrating cultural differences and similarities. The school s Open Days occurred during this week, where the school welcomed potential new families. Trinity Feast Day Celebrations Our school Feast Day was celebrated on Friday 20th May. All students travelled to our Parish Church, Princes Hwy Narre Warren by bus to celebrate Mass at 10.30am. Families joined us at the Church as we celebrated what makes Trinity special and then a shared lunch was held back at school. Cross aged activities were orgainsed for the afternoon and families were invited to join in the fun. Our school celebrated Trinity Sunday in the Parish Church at the 9.15am Mass on Sunday 22nd May. Many Trinity families attended this Mass to celebrate our feast and extend companionship to our wider Parish community. Students, families and teachers carried out the ministries and reflected on the importance of parish/school partnerships ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 6

8 Excursions / Incursions The Year 4 students went on an excursion to the Melbourne Cathedral, exploring the history, religious architecture and symbolism evident in our faith. Memorial Services Trinity marked both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day at school and in the wider community. Families and staff represented Trinity at the Berwick ANZAC Day service, where a wreath was laid. On Remembrance Day, a special whole school prayer service was held to honour all those courageous men and women who have lost their lives through warfare, and who continue to fight today to protect and serve their country. VALUE ADDED Sacraments Thirty-nine year six students joined with their fellow Parish Confirmation candidates for a Reflection Day facilitated by St Francis Xavier Year 10 and 11 students. Sixty-four students preparing to receive their First Holy Communion also participated in a Reflection Day at St Francis Xavier. The candidates were taken through a series of workshops, exploring their understanding of this sacrament. Students receiving Sacrament of Reconciliation: 56 Students receiving Sacrament of Eucharist: 64 Students receiving Sacrament of Confirmation: 39 Principals and Religious Education Leaders joined with the Parish Priest and Sacramental Coordinator to evaluate and modify the current Parish Sacramental Program. Several changes were made for 2017, including a proposal to restructure the Sacramental Program Booklet in order to more effectively cater for the large number of candidates. Social Justice Trinity s commitment to social justice continued in areas of awareness raising, advocacy and fundraising. The Social Justice Leaders and the Student Representative Council worked collaboratively throughout the year to lead a range of initiatives. Trinity raised money for Caritas Australia, The Heart Project, Very Special Kids, Refugee Australia and St Vincent de Paul Lent and Easter Celebrations At Trinity, we celebrated the beginning of Lent with a whole school mass in the Readman Hall. Students and staff were encouraged to reflect upon their own relationship with Jesus and how they can take up the cross and follow in his footsteps. During Lent, the students raised money for Caritas Australia by donating their loose change and carrying out chores at home to earn money. The year six students performed an Easter play for the whole school, focusing on Holy Week and the Resurrection of Jesus. Many families attended the Lent and Easter celebrations. Christmas Play Trinity celebrated the Season of Advent and the Birth of Christ with a modern day Christmas Play, Prayer Service and Christmas concert. Many families and friends joined with the school to celebrate this special occasion ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 7

9 Learning & Teaching That the students, staff and parents continue to develop the ability to be able to own their learning behaviours. That Trinity implements ICON and GAFE to transform learning and teaching. Goals & Intended Outcomes Learners actively own and are responsible for their learning. o There is an upward trend in all indicators in the Insight SRC Data. o There is an upward trend and consistent growth in NAPLAN Data. o There is an upward trend in ACER PAT Assessments (Reading and Mathematics). Flexible, collaborative learning spaces are dynamic and effectively utilised. o The Victorian Curriculum is effectively implemented and reported against. o ICON is effectively implemented. o Students and staff are actively engaged in Open Learning spaces. Achievements Our Learning Theme for 2016 continued to be Ownership of Learning. The first two weeks of Term One focussed on the essential elements of learning in Learning to Learn. The Learning to Learn Unit referenced the AusVELS Domain areas of Interpersonal Development, Personal Learning and Thinking Processes. Learning to Learn included, such things as, students: setting up their classrooms and learning spaces. selecting strategies and thinking tools that will assist them in their learning. Identifying attributes of good learning behaviours eg: persistence, learning from mistakes. identifying ways of working collaboratively. setting and monitoring learning goals. The beginning of the year Family Learning Conversations (Parent Teacher Interviews) were held in the open areas of the Allen, Marian and Joyce Buildings. Students shared their learning goals from the Learning to Learn focus and demonstrated Ownership of Learning by taking their parents on a tour of their classroom, sharing with their parents, how they set up their learning spaces. Report Writing and Student Portfolios were updated to focus on Student Portfolios as the main part of the reporting process. This allowed staff to create learning intentions and success criteria in line with AusVELS learning outcomes, support students in the Ownership of Learning theme and provide an avenue for on-going assessment and feedback to students on their learning throughout the year. nforma reports were modified to compliment the Student Portfolios. In 2016 Trinity joined a Collective of schools within the Sale Diocese. Our Collective comprised of the following four schools: Trinity, Narre Warren South St. John s, Koo Wee Rup St. Agatha s, Cranbourne St. Michael s Traralgon The aim of the Collective in 2016 was to focus on the following question - How will we build expert teacher practice to ensure a rate of progress for every child in English through the implementation of the SPA Platform?

15 School Community & Student Wellbeing Goals & Intended Outcomes That students and staff develop the skills and confidence to be resilient members of their community. That we see an upward trend in the students and staff connectedness to school and an improvement in student and staff morale. Outcomes All in our Catholic school community contribute to and experience a sense of welcome and belonging. All in the community are responsible for their own wellbeing. Achievements Every relationship is different, but they all matter. In 2016 at Trinity, the staff, students and school community continued to build and strengthen positive relationships. This was achieved through our social and emotional programs such as the FRIENDS Program and the City of Casey s Adolescent Male Program and the implementation of Choice Theory. Assisting parents to access community services and familiarise themselves with school based initiatives was also a strong focus. The Safety Audit was conducted each term, as an additional tool to monitor student safety. Seasons for Growth Trinity facilitated the Seasons for Growth Program for children in our school who may have experienced grief or loss through a death in the family, moving house, serious illness or family separation. The program explored issues such as change, loss, managing feelings, coping strategies and support networks with children. Seasons is a small group, eight session program which concludes with a Celebration session. A junior, two middle and one senior group were run. Adolescent Male Program (AMP) The City of Casey facilitated a four-week program called AMP (Adolescent male Program). This program targeted boys in year five and six and aimed to help them become better equipped for their world. The boys learnt about the importance of team building, communication, making and owning their choices and their role in society. Secondary School Transition Program Seven year six students participated in a 6 week course on Transition to Secondary schools. Students explored language and protocols in social situations, time management, communication, making friends, seeking help and managing resources, heading into Secondary School. FRIENDS Program FRIENDS stands for Fun, Relaxing, Innovative, Enjoyable, Nurturing, Diverse and Social. The aim of the program is to build student self-esteem and confidence, whilst at the same time celebrating and building on the strengths and talents that the student already has. It is a program run in partnership with the school for 45minutes a week or fortnight, where a volunteer works 1:1 with a student negotiating a range of activities that are of interest to the students. In 2016, thirteen students and seven volunteers participated in the program. PAL The Year 5 and 6 students did a wonderful job of running activities at playtimes and lunchtimes as part of the PAL program. Through games they get to know the Prep and Junior students and assist them with making friends. The peer learning and interaction that take place with the Buddy Program run with Year 6 and Prep students, and Year 1 and Year 5 students, are other effective ways of creating connectedness ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 14

16 Lunch Time Clubs In 2016, Trinity offered the students the opportunity to express their creative talents through the school choir and dance club.

19 Leadership & Stewardship Goals & Intended Outcomes That staff and student leadership structures work proactively and effectively, respecting the feedback from all members of the school community. That Trinity creates a learning environment that supports contemporary learning practices. There is a successful implementation of the Building Project. Targets Students are the centre of all leadership actions and decision making. Leadership aligns with, and supports, the school s vision and contemporary practice. Leadership capacity and succession planning responds to the dynamics of the school community. We enact our duty and responsibility to respect and care for Trinity. Achievements Trinity commenced 2016 with 72.97% of the teaching staff from the previous year remaining. Having the majority of staff continue created continuity for the students and was appreciated by the parents, however, the influx of some new staff allowed us to explore new opportunities. Specialist subjects included Health and Physical Education, ICT and Art from Foundation to Year 6. The Library was set up next to the Art room and teacher resource centre. Students were given the opportunity to borrow weekly from the library and to utilise the library space when classes were not rostered on. We were again very blessed to be able to offer Languages Other Than English (LOTE), Performing Arts, Drama and Music. Parents regularly expressed how pleased they are that the school can offer these subjects for the children to enjoy. The staff continuing to be lifelong learners is highly important to Trinity and it is an expectation that staff regularly attend and participate in Professional Development (PD) to continue to improve their skills. This ensures that the children are presented with the most up to date and comprehensive curriculum we can offer. As well as the Collective Professional Learning Days, staff participated in Religious Education (RE) and learning weekly Staff Meeting and Professional Learning Team meeting where the emphasis is on learning from each other and sharing our collective skill sets. Within this environment staff challenge each other to provide the best possible learning opportunities they can to the children by focussing on improving their teaching techniques, using data to inform their practice, learning from each other, coaching, feedback and being accountable. The staff all set individual learning goals for themselves that they strived to achieve as well as reflecting heavily on their current practice and what they can do to better themselves. Leadership roles and positions of responsibility are shared amongst the staff of Trinity as we employ a team approach. The Leadership Team meets weekly to monitor and discuss the progress of the school, guide future direction and look for areas where we can constantly challenge ourselves and improve. Courses to improve leadership skills are encouraged at all times. We also had staff members continuing their Catholic Accreditation and two staff members continuing their Master Degree in Educational Leadership. At the end of 2016 Trinity reviewed its leadership structure to ensure it aligns with contemporary practice in education. Learning Areas in the Allen, Marian and Joyce Buildings were refurbished and designed to include open, collaborative, flexible and contemporary learning spaces.
