Vision Statement

Our Lady Help of Christians is a Catholic school committed to educating the whole child and celebrating our Faith through Christian values. With peace, love, respect and inclusiveness we welcome families, members of our parish and the wider community to our child safe school.



SCHOOL OVERVIEW

Our Lady Help of Christians has been educating children in the eastern gateway to

Warrnambool and surrounding district since 1971. Originally under the auspices of the Sisters of

Mercy, since 1983 lay principals have led the community. The enrolment grew to almost 300 in

the 1980’s but as these children grew and movement in the area stabilised the enrolment

dropped to approximately 180. In the last few years the population of Warrnambool has grown,

seeing a resultant increased in the student enrolment at OLHC to 409 in 2018.

In response to this enrolment growth, we commenced a building program consisting of five new

classrooms, breakout areas, two withdrawal areas, staff planning and student amenities. This

was opened in March 2018.

Our Lady Help of Christians has a strong sense of community where parents, students and staff

value, respect and appreciate one another. OLHC provides a dynamic and comprehensive,

student focused education for the students in our care, in excellent modern facilities.

Students are treated as individuals and are encouraged to be responsible for their own learning

in a supportive and nurturing environment. They are given opportunities to develop leadership

skills and are encouraged to take on leadership roles.

We are recognised in the local community as a school striving for high achievements in all

aspects of a child’s development. In 2018 in numeracy we concentrated on the effective

teaching of number as it applies to the four processes and place value. In Literacy we

developed a consistent approach to writing ensuring common procedures, structure language

etc.

In 2018, the 18 classes were taught an innovative, exciting curriculum developed using the

Victorian Curriculum, as well as Religious Education based on The Awakenings program as

developed by the Ballarat Diocese. Complementing the 18 class teachers were a number of

part time and specialist teachers providing programs in LOTE (Japanese), Music/Drama and

Physical Education. The biannual school production was once again a highlight of our year.

The staff are very professional in their planning and preparation and have a deep commitment

to the school. Dedicated, caring and very competent, they strive to guide their students to

develop to their full potential.

Parents are highly supportive and are actively encouraged to be involved in the life of OLHC

School, with many generous with their time, energy and expertise. Staff greatly value the

commitment of parents and are appreciative of their support

Our Lady Help of Christians is a member of the Warrnambool and District Catholic Schools

Network and as such shares many activities with Emmanuel College and the five catholic

primary schools in the district.

Our Lady Help of Christians works closely with our Canonical Administrator, Fr Lawrence

O’Toole who is actively involved in the life of the school.

The leadership team for 2018 was; Jo Wain, Marie Harney, Nathan Auld, Stephen Madden, Darren Lloyd Eugene Dalton

Faith and Culture Planning and implementation of the new Awakenings guidelines was a major focus of our staff development in 2018. Alongside this was our continued work in the area of Catholic Identity, particularly our focus to develop post critical believers. We also commenced the process of implementing the new Diocesan Health and Sexuality Guidelines. Both the staff and School Advisory Council participated in Plenary Council sessions,valuing the opportunity to have a say on the future of the church in Australia.

Our outreach/social justice program continue to be a success and in 2018 we endeavoured to impart greater links between our action and our faith belief. We again participated in the Meals on Wheels program. This helped to provide the students with an understanding of volunteering and community contribution and gave the students a real sense of pride that they were making a difference. We also participated in the local Food Share program, allowing us to access fruit, vegetables, bread and milk for needy families in the school community. Our Mini Vinnies social justice group participated in a conference facilitated by the St. Vincent de Paul Society and made packs for distribution to families in need. This is having an impact on their understanding of Catholic Social Justice Principles. They participated in a sleep out and made and sold beanie’s to raise funds for the homeless. Working at a soup kitchen was also a new experience for 2018.

They also expanded their close links with Lyndoch. Those involved are developing a sense of understanding about volunteerism and assisting less fortunate members of our community.

Closer to home we continued to be actively involved in the life of OLHC parish, participating in Migrant and Refugee Sunday, the Annual Flower Show among other parish activities. Classes attended weekday masses on a regular basis in addition to whole school masses that were celebrated with parishioners. Staff were active members of the Parish Sacramental Team and the school in general supported the parish sacramental program. A number of staff are involved in ministry roles with the parish.

Fr Lawrie, our Parish Priest is a active member of OLHC School Advisory Council. He participates in fortnightly school assemblies and has a keen interest in the wellbeing of all families and students.



Leadership

With continuing enrolment growth we were excited to open our five new classrooms in March

2018. Five new classrooms, (flexible learning spaces) breakout areas, two withdrawals rooms

and a staff planning area added greatly to our facilities.

We implemented a new planning structure in 2018 that saw all specialist classes occur on the

same day for each planning area. This allowed us to have all teachers from the one planning

area available together one day per week for planning, professional development, etc.

This in turn lead to consistency of planning, language etc, greater teamwork and shared

ownership.

It also eliminated interruptions on other days of the week and maximised learning time.

Parents from their perspective, appreciated that all extras were on one day making planning

and preparation easier.

We were successfully involved in a Victorian Registrations and Qualifications Authority audit of

Minimum Standards which takes place every 4 years

We also implemented the new National Consistent Collection of Data for student funding. This

was a massive undertaking. Lead by Genevieve Howland the staff achieved magnificently to

complete this and maintain the ongoing requirements.

NAPLAN again was an important external focus but for us and valuable but not necessarily a

crucial assessment tool.

The School Advisory Council continued to provide valuable input and guidance into the future

direction of OLHC. They developed or reviewed polices in the following areas:

Enrolment, Duty of care, Data Breach response, Pastoral care,

SAC Constitution, Photography guidelines for parents, Digital technology,

Occupational violence, Emergency management

They advocated for improved Road Safety and planned for future infrastructure developments in

Solar Energy and covered playground areas and in our ongoing Capital Grants applications.

They took an interest in curriculum and financial considerations and participated in a Plenary

Council session re the future of the Catholic Church in Australia.



Learning and Teaching

As both our NAPLAN and other suite of data indicate, the

teaching and learning program is ensuring that the

students are meeting required targets. Our new planning

structure further strengthens the staff time and ability to

focus on using data to drive instruction therefore

maximising the input for students.

This new planning structure also allowed us to introduce

new specialist areas. The introduction of Visual Arts and

ICT was well received by all students and allowed those

students who had particular strengths in these areas to

excel.

2018 was the year for our biannual Art Show. Once again this proved to be a highlight and the

quality of work on display was incredible. Congratulations to our Visual Arts teacher Sharell

Smits for her coordination of the Art Show ably supported by the classroom teachers.

The sheer amount and variety of programs and activities on offer to the students at OLHC is

amazing and well received by the student body who are appreciative of their opportunities.

Camps, excursions, incursions all provide stimulation to an already interesting curriculum.

Eisteddfods, Student Leaders Conferences provided opportunities to meet and work with other

schools as does the numerous sporting events on offer.

Social justice and environmental actions provide an insight and well rounded curriculum



Community OLHC has always prided itself on having a strong sense of community. In 2018 we continued to make this a priority. A lot of this was facilitated through the role of our Community Liaison Officer, Anna Schlooz. Anna visited every new family to the school and this sense of welcome and personal introduction was well received and provided a spring board for their future involvement in the school. We also reinvigorated our Parent Classroom Representative program. This allowed families to develop closed ties within the confines of their child’s class. The Rep organised shared lunches, social evenings, classroom assistance etc. They were also a point of contact for PFA to promote their activities.

Anna along with our Parent Classroom Representative coordinator, Emily Lloyd were points of contact for any families experiencing any personal or health difficulties and coordinated aspects of practical support.

Our usual community activities of Pancake Breakfast, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and Grandparent’s Day are well supported and continue to engender a feeling of belonging. The Parents and Friends Association coordinate these special days and along with other activities such as hot food days, discoes and social evenings for parents continue to be amazing group developing a real sense of community and belonging for all. The PFA introduced a Participation Program in 2018 designed to spread the opportunity for all

families to be involved. This program certainly achieved its aim as it was noticeable that more families took up the challenge to assist with the numerous activities that the PFA coordinated.

Without doubt though our best community event for the year is our school athletic sports. Conducted on the first Sunday in March, it has become a wonderful community day with huge number of family and extended family attending to support the children, assist with the running of events and catching up with other members of the OLHC community.

In 2018 we introduced Class Dojo as a way of improving and increasing instant access with parents. This app provides teachers with the ability to provide real time

information/photos of their children’s work/activities at school. Parents can also instantly comment, this feeling connected to daily activities. Instagram also has provided a pictorial representation of whole school activities and connectedness.

The old favourite – fortnightly assemblies still engenders a sense of pride and connectedness and gives the students another opportunity to develop their self confidence and public speaking. We are actively in the Parish and wider Warrnambool Community having a visible presence at ANZAC and Remembrance Day ceremonies. We are also involved in the Warrnambool Eisteddfod, Warrnambool Show and joint district school educational and sporting activities. In the Parent Opinion Survey a Community Engagement target of 88.4% was revealed through the latest data in the Insight SRC survey data.



Wellbeing

The need for programs and greater awareness of wellbeing continues to grow which is off considerable concern to not only us but too society. Along with our ongoing programs we had staff train and facilitate the following:

Respectful Relationships,

Social skills program,

Health and sexuality program.

Our Wellbeing Coordinator Darren Lloyd lead staff sessions on programs and strategies. He

coordinated well-being days for whole school along with conducting wellbeing surveys.

A lunchtime elective program provided a variety of organised activities for those students who

find both the time end the space of the school yard challenging.

We provided a psychologist three days per week to work with students either individually or in

small groups and parents.

Our psychologist also conducted parent sessions on:

Child behaviour management and

Anxiety

We also organised police and ICT specialists to talk with parents and students about the

important issue of Cyber Safety
