2 Introduction The Annual Report for 2016 is provided to the community of The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School as an account of the school's operations and achievements throughout the year. It provides a detailed account of the progress the school has made to provide high quality educational opportunities for all students, as set out in the school plan. It outlines the findings from self assessment that reflect the impact of key school strategies for improved learning and the benefit to all students from the expenditure of resources, including equity funding. Anna Starcevic Principal School contact details The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School Wood Street Tenterfield, sirhparkes-p.school@det.nsw.edu.au Message from the Principal At The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School we are building a strong collaborative vision with staff, students and parents. We are making the time and space for having the right conversations with each other. Our school s motto Learning for Life reinforces a broad and enriching curriculum which not only focuses on strong literacy and numeracy programs but also on the social and emotional wellbeing of our students, whilst respecting the cultures of our community. I am proud that we are creating challenging learning environments that encourage high expectations along with the fostering of students self esteem. This path is developing each student to acquire the knowledge, skills and core values necessary to achieve personal success and to enrich our community. The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School students are building relationships and making strong connections on many levels. Our school values of Learning, Safety and Respect are highly visible each and every day in our school. Our school vision will continue to be based on high quality teaching and learning founded upon high quality interpersonal relationships. Successful schools are also learning schools. At The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial PS we understand the value of self improvement and we continually strive to improve teaching quality. Anna Starcevic Principal Message from the school community The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial School P & C Report has again been another busy year for the P&C, as we have continued to support our students and school as a whole. Firstly I would like to thank our small but very passionate P&C committee. All these people play an important role in our P&C and I am very thankful for their help and support. The year started with the 'Welcome BBQ' which saw many new faces to our school. It was nice to welcome these families to our school community. Our fundraising events this year saw us hold a street stall and wood raffle, a Mother s Day stall, a Father s Day stall and our major fundraiser was the Variety Club bash. Our fundraising this year has mostly been focused on providing financial support to the North West Sporting Representatives, a school table cover and the Page 2 of 18 The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School 3182 (2016)

3 purchase of the cooktop to go intothe canteen. We have also spent a large amount of time discussing the newschool shirt and we are happy with the end product. Hopefully in the next fewweeks you will be able to purchase the new navy shirt at Flannagans. This year also saw the Variety club bash come to our school and it was such an awesome day for the kids. There was much excitement in the air and a lot of fun had. Iwould sincerely like to thank all the families that donated goods or money tothe baking and to those that helped cook, serve and clean up you were amazing. Overall the school received over $6000 via goods for the sunshine room, money for the lunch and donations in balls and books. We are hopeful that we can experience their generosity again soon. With Vicki Petrie retiring last year we went through the rigorous process of finding a replacement for her and we were fortunate enough to employ Jennifer Sutcliffe who has been exceptional in the job. Jen has been very flexible to work with and has tried to continue to steer the ship as Vicki had it but with some tweaks of her own. Unfortunately though I think that half of the equipment must have thought if Vicki has gone so are we, as wehad the security system blow up which saw us having to replace that at a large cost, replace the toasted sandwich maker, replace the large drinks fridge, and replace the oven. The oven has been our major focus this year with a larger industrial one being purchased and installed into a more effective position inthe kitchen. The canteen only makes enough to cover its costs and we keep the prices as low as possible as webelieve that the canteen is a lovely service that this school has available to its students. But without parental help we might have to consider making other changes. I know I say this each year but if you areable to help out once or twice a term for a couple of hours it would be greatly appreciated. Jen is very easy to work with and is really appreciative of anyhelp, donations or home bake that anyone can provide. This year saw Ms Anna Starcevic take the lead of the school and we have had a very good working relationship with Anna. We know that we represent the parents and citizens of our school so we have had lots of interesting conversations with Anna over issues that we know are bothering us and many other parents in our school. We have found out that Anna has good basis behind her decisions and sometimes change is hard for us but we the P&C are supporting Anna with her decisions for the school as we believe that she has the school's best interests at heart. My advice for you would be that if you have any issues with any school related things make an appointment and go and talk to Anna as she listens to you and tries to help sort out your concerns. The Sir Henry Parkes School is run fabulously and we are very thankful for the excellent educational opportunities that our children receive whilst they are at this school. Sadly this year we see a massive change in staff with a few retiring and a few moving on to other places but we wish you all the best in your futures and hope that your memories of Sir Henry Parkes are filled with good times. Thank you teachers for all the hard work you put into your lessons and the extra curricular opportunities you provide as well. The P&C provides you with the opportunity to be informed and to contribute to educational matters relating to the school including fundraising, school policies, canteen, uniform, special projects and more. We meet about once a month and it is a really good opportunity to be involved on a school level with your child and school community. I fully understand that people have busy lives and the last thing most people want to do is go out at night to a meeting but without the few people who are willing to do this then our children wouldn t get these extra opportunities that we can offer via our fundraising efforts and also to have input into decisions that are made on aschool level. I know that people don t like to take on executive type positions, but just being a general member on the P&C and getting your input would be fantastic. Once again I sincerely thankall the P& C members for their hard work in 2016 and encourage anyone to join the P&C and help have a say in your child s educational experience. Have a merry Christmas and a restful holiday. Lou Holley P & C President Message from the students Message from the 2016 School Leaders We have had a great experience over our time at this school which has given us the opportunity to participate in many sporting events such as netball, soccer, hockey, swimming, athletics, cross country, cricket, football and many more. Throughout the year there have been a wide range of academic opportunities including debating, extension group, Tournament of the Minds, E gats, University of NSW testing and school leadership opportunities. We have attended many leadership roles over our time this year as school leaders, including Remembrance Day, the ANZAC Day march and Dawn Service ceremonies, hosting and preparing assemblies, receiving a cheque for the school, Variety Bash and Grandparents Day. We have also completed numerous other simple day to day responsibilities. Our class teachers have supported us throughout this amazing year. The rest of the school's staff members have also been a large part of our learning in class and we would like to thank them very much.

4 This year as school leaders, we have realised how much responsibility school leaders have, how important it is to work together as a team and communicate with each other. We have also realised how much we appreciate all the things that the teachers, staff, office ladies and Principal do for us. We have to lead by example and be role models to all the students of our school. We would like to thank all of the teachers who have taught and supported us this year and helped us get ready for high school. We have loved representing our school to our highest standard and contributing towards making this school a proud school. We have the amazing privilege to be a school leader and have loved our time doing all the functions that school leaders are able to complete.

5 School background School vision statement At The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial PublicSchool our students will: grow into confident, responsible andrespectful community members who know their own self worth, have a strong senseof identity and value the process of learning be equipped with a broad range of personalresources for future success, and know how to work both independently andcollaboratively Our staff will hold high expectations,providing appropriate and challenging learning experiences that promotelifelong and sustained learning, within a safe and nurturing schoolenvironment. School context Our school is named after Sir Henry Parkes, who had a deep and abiding belief in the power of public education. Our school is proud of its history in providing education for all. The school is located inthe small town of Tenterfield which also hosts a high school and onenon government primary school. The student population of approximately 260 is diverse with around 20 per cent of the students identifying as Aboriginal. Wehave a strong staff cohort inclusive of a range of experiences, backgrounds and skills, blending together to provide quality educational opportunities for ourstudents. Planning & Demography projections indicate that enrolments at the school are likely to remain steadyuntil at least The school Family Occupation and Education Index Value for 2014 is 118, compared with the state average of 100 (the range falls between 0and 300). Approximately 36% of our students fall into the lowest socio economic status quartile compared with 15% in the highest quartile. Australian EarlyDevelopment Index figures from 2012 show that 17.5% of students beginningschool in the Tenterfield area were developmentally vulnerable in school based language and cognitive skills, compared with 4.8% in NSW. This reflects asignificant proportion at lower than average in literacy and numeracyunderstandings upon entry to school. We provide a range of quality experiencesand resources to address this need and promote ongoing learning. Here the students enjoy arange of well supported extra curricular offerings, a proud history ofparticipation and achievement and highly welcomed community support. We work with other service providers, community organisations and local businesses to provide students with a range of opportunities to learn and develop academically, socially and emotionally. Self-assessment and school achievement Self-assessment using the School Excellence Framework For all schools (except those participating in external validation processes): This section of the Annual Report outlines the findings from self assessment using the School Excellence Framework, school achievements and the next steps to be pursued. This year, our school undertook self assessment using the School Excellence Framework. The framework supports public schools throughout NSW in the pursuit of excellence by providing a clear description of high quality practice across the three domains of Learning, Teaching and Leading. In the domain of Learning our efforts have been focussed on student engagement and identification of individual learning needs of students in the early years of Kindergarten to Year 2, as part of the Early Action for Success initiative. Student achievement and engagement is tracked on PLAN. Attention to individual learning needs of all students in our school has been an area of focus and improvement this year. Parents are involved in the planning and supporting of student learning directions through the use of Individual Education Plans. Personalised Learning Plans are created for all Aboriginal students, which are reviewed and celebrated each term. The PLP process has included an increased participation and contribution from the parents/carers of our students. Clear expectations of student behaviour were explicitly taught through the whole school Positive Behaviour for Learning framework. Being safe, respectful learners across all settings of the school, including classrooms, playground, assemblies, canteen area and moving around the school, was an integral part of how students relate to each other and adults. Our school has begun the professional Page 5 of 18 The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School 3182 (2016)

6 learning journey of the Stronger Smarter values of honour, courage, patience, challenge and presence, working towards ensuring our learning culture is focused on high expectations and success for all students. This year our school also began our journey with Restorative Practice, an explicit framework that supports our students, teachers and parents in building deeper relationships and connections. This model has provided our teachers and families with a framework of dialogue to encourage higher order communication, both with academic content and when facilitating conflict resolution. Our classroom teachers have included mindfulness and circle time in their classrooms to improve emotional health and well being. Our attendance procedures were systematised and closely monitored in We created two Attendance Officer positions to support all families and students, both Indigenous and non Indigenous. Greater communication and stronger relationships have been forged with our families to ensure students are at school every day and on time every day. Transition practices here at our school remain strong both for students entering Kindergarten, and Year 7. Our major focus in the domain of Teaching was effective classroom practice and learning and data skills and Use to inform teaching practice. The analysis of data to inform effective literacy and numeracy programs has been a priority over the last 2 years of the school's involvement with the Early Action for Success program. Teachers regularly use student performance data to plan for future teaching and learning opportunities. Explicit feedback to students on their performance is also used to inform children of the next steps in their learning journey. Teachers collaborate to improve teaching and learning in their stage groups, for all students. regular lesson observations, both as part of L3, TEN and the performance and Development Framework, provide constructive feedback from peers and school leaders. NAPLAN data is also analysed to determine areas of improvement in Stages 2 and 3. All teachers participate in systematic targeted professional learning. The school executive team was provided with executive release time to coordinate and design quality professional learning for teachers. All teaching staff have Professional Development Plans (PDPs) with 12 month professional goals linked to the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers and the School Plan. In the domain of Leading our priority has been to improve the school planning, implementation and reporting processes and to improve leadership and management processes. Annual surveys are conducted to gauge a variety of opinions from parents, carers and the wider community. We also undertook the 'Tell Them From Me' surveys to gain further input from the school community. P & C meetings provide a clear link from the parent body to the school. All staff have the opportunity to hold roles and responsibilities in the school. Leadership workshops have been attended by all three Assistant Principals. The school Learning and Support team regularly meet to discuss identified students and analyse data to support the students in our school. The school uses Sentral as a way of communicating effectively, recording and analysing data, and supporting the day to day administrative systems at The Sir Henry Parkes Memorial Public School. Our self assessment process will assist the school to refine the strategic priorities in our School Plan, leading to further improvements in the delivery of education to our students.
