1 ANNUAL REPORT 2017
2 Principal s Report In 2015 the College Future Plan for was written based on information provided by staff, students and parents. This set the strategic direction for Mercedes College for the next four years with the plan concluding in Annual School Improvement Plans have been developed each year since Our Future Plan and Annual School Improvement Plan are closely linked. The College s Annual School Improvement Plan takes key areas from the Future Plan as a focus for a particular year. Focus Areas match the Catholic Education WA Strategic Direction and are as follows: Learning (Education), Engagement (Community), Accountability (Stewardship) and Discipleship (Catholic Identity). Mercedes College offers a high standard in education and care of students but like any school we must aim for continuous improvement so that our pupils always have the best learning environment possible. Below is an outline of what was achieved in 2017 followed by an indication of goals for An annual report on progress is provided to the College community School Improvement Plan Learning Dedicated time continued to be given for Learning Areas to focus on programming and implementation of the Western Australian Curriculum. Feedback from students and parents indicated a concern about the number of assessments students undertake each week. An assessment audit of Year 7 9 tasks was conducted and presented at a staff meeting with a view to reduce the number of assessments particularly in elective areas. Learning Areas also spent time reviewing their assessment programmes in readiness for the 2018 academic year also saw a focus on assisting students to become independent learners. During staff professional learning meetings we defined what being an independent learner looks like. Staff members also shared successful strategies they use to foster independent learning in the classroom. In the focus area of Learning the development of staff knowledge and understanding of Positive Education using the PERMAH model continues with the Wellbeing spotlight featured each week as part of Monday s Staff Briefing. Students learn about the PERMAH model through the Pastoral Care Programme. Students and staff continue to have their wellbeing monitored through the AWE survey (AWE Assessing Wellbeing in Education). As part of our commitment to empowering young women and assisting with their personal safety, a protective behaviours curriculum called Keeping Safe was introduced in Staff members have received training in the delivery of this curriculum and an audit was conducted to determine where aspects of the curriculum could be covered in learning areas as well as through the Pastoral Care Programme.
3 Engagement In 2017 the aim of this area was to further utilise the functionalities of SEQTA so that students and parents could monitor academic progress and to consolidate work done in this area. This has been of great benefit to home and school communication. Parents now have the facility to monitor their daughter s progress to the level they choose. This ongoing feedback ensures that achievements and/or concerns can be recognised and dealt with as they arise rather than waiting for a Triangular Meeting. to the Christian tradition of the Sacrament of the Moment. They were challenged to consider how they encounter God in the present moment and how they can respond more fully to God s call. Accountability The focus for this area in 2017 was the review of current platforms for technology and a streamlining of their use so that there was improved reliability of ICT for students, staff and parents. We continued to develop staff capacity in ICT and the use of SEQTA. Initial understanding of Leading Lights, a digital transformation project promoted by Catholic Education WA was investigated. Discipleship In 2017 the focus was on enhancing the College community s opportunities for faith development, social justice involvement and an evaluation of the College s Evangelisation Plan. Students also provided feedback on our Evangelisation Plan. Year 11 students were involved in the Poverty Immersion Mission Programme. It introduced them to organisations such as Ruah Community Services, St Bart s House, Missionaries of Charity and continued the involvement with Street Soccer where the College provides food for the homeless. The College was fortunate to have Father Tony Chiera conduct a Staff Retreat Day in August. This assisted staff to explore their ongoing experiences with life and of God and to review the images of God they held moving towards a view of God presented to us in the Gospels. Fr Tony introduced staff
4 2018 School Improvement Plan Key Goals Learning In 2018 work continues on the Western Australian Curriculum in learning areas with dedicated time given to this programming and review of previous planning. Data is collected from a range of sources (TISC, SCSA, NAPLAN, OLNA, The Bishops Religious Literacy Assessment) and analysed to assist in decision-making about formation of programmes and schemes of assessment. This data contributes to a longitudinal study into the effectiveness of curriculum offerings and the impact on student outcomes. We continue to focus on an analysis of data presenting findings at whole staff gatherings and at learning area meetings. Teachers are provided with training to support them with the interpretation and use of data. proud of the school. They feel competent as professionals and use their strengths at work. Resilience and happiness are also high for staff members. Keeping Safe, a protective behaviours curriculum, is being taught throughout all year groups. All staff members have been trained in this programme. It empowers our students to feel more in control of their safety and assists them with developing positive relationships. Positive Education with its focus on wellbeing continues to be delivered through the Pastoral Care Programme this year with a designated Co-ordinator in place. Staff continue their focus on well-being through professional development sessions and various committees. We are committed to the well-being of students as this will enable students to perform to their potential. We are using data from the Assessing Wellbeing in Education Survey (AWE) to determine our success in this area. The data indicates that students have positive relationships with their peers and feel safe at school. Students also feel supported by staff at the College. Sleep satisfaction decreases as students enter the senior years of schooling. We continue to assist students with this important wellbeing issue through the Pastoral Care Programme and guest speakers. The AWE data indicates that staff members regard their work as meaningful and are
5 Accountability The well-being of students and staff and providing an environment where everyone feels safe and can flourish is of prime importance. Positive Education principles using the PERMAH model are being incorporated across learning area programmes to aid well-being. As part of our commitment to the CEWA Child Safe Framework with its emphasis on the voice of the child, a student survey was conducted to determine what made students feel safe/unsafe and any strategies they could suggest to improve what we do at Mercedes. Their initiatives cover public transport including the introduction of bus buddies, evacuation procedures, security cameras and traffic management. On 27 June, 2018 the College launched the STYMIE programme. This programme enables students and parents to report any uncaring behaviour. This will support our pastoral care of students. Discipleship Our focus for 2018 is on creating opportunities for the College community to deepen the understanding that Jesus and his Gospel teachings are the foundation of our Mercy values. Engagement We continue our focus on consolidating the availability of information on SEQTA. Course Outlines, resources and topics covered throughout the year are posted giving students and parents greater information. This will assist home and school to work together to support student learning. We are keen to learn what topics parents are interested in and providing guest speakers/forums on these topics. We are also increasing opportunities for prayer. This began in May with the rosary with plans to offer different types of prayer throughout the year. The chapel is open Thursday at lunch and after school for the purpose of prayer and guidance by Ms Lendich is provided. Students, staff and parents are welcome at either session. Financial Matters At this stage no capital development work is being conducted at the College. This break is allowing a focus on minor improvements, routine maintenance and compliance requirements. This year a new audio visual and sound system was installed in the Coady Sports Centre to
6 facilitate whole school assemblies, other key events and as a valuable resource for learning and teaching. There is also emphasis on servicing debt and decreasing loans held by the College for previous capital developments. As always, support is provided for families struggling with financial matters as a result of such issues as loss of employment and illness to the extent that the College can resource. Like all other twelve Mercy schools in Australia our annual budget is sent to Mercy Education Limited for approval. College Advisory Council Report The Advisory Council members bring experience from other sectors of society with a range of professional backgrounds. They are also fortunate to have a Sister of Mercy, Sr Elizabeth Nicholls, as part of the Council. She provides an invaluable connection with our Mercy Heritage. This broad membership of the Council ensures a variety of perspectives are represented. participated in the College s Cyclic Review and members are also involved in the planning for the College s 175 th Anniversary. A mark of their work in 2017 was creating and conducting a survey of their members to inform planning for 2018 and beyond. It assisted with identifying their strengths and how they can improve. The Council has stressed the need for students to be taught skills that will enable them to succeed in the future.
