NAPLAN DATA
BRIEF SUMMARY OF NAPLAN RESULTS
• Year 7 students in 2018 achieved a higher mean compared with the Australian mean for all NAPLAN results.
• Year 7 students have, in the last 4 years, achieved a higher mean compared with similar Catholic Schools for WriCng.
• Year 9 students in 2018 achieved a higher mean score in all NAPLAN results apart from Numeracy against the Australian mean score.
• Although there have been variaCons in the mean scores achieved by Year 7 and Year 9 students at Mandurah Catholic College from year to year, the overall size of the mean variaCon over the past 6-7 years is not considerable. Although there have been variaCons from year to year, the gap between the Mandurah Catholic College mean for Numeracy, Reading and WriCng and similar Catholic schools has remained relaCvely close from 2010 to 2018.
• NAPLAN data has been shared with HOLA English and Math. Focus for Year 7 and 9 is wriCng. This has been incorporated into programs and assessments. Upskilling of teachers as well as cross-marking will conCnue to occur. Ajer school tutoring will support student achievement.
• A focus on increasing student reading will occur in Year 7 – 9. The HOLA English and Head of InformaCon Services have discussed and acConed a plan to increase students aWending the Library to read.
• Sounds-Write is an evidence-based syntheCc phonics program uClising a successful approach to the teaching of reading, spelling and wriCng. It places emphasis on providing pracCce that is grounded in physical, concrete experience of the skills and conceptual understanding that students need.
• Students in Year 7 are assessed and placed into a Language Support class for 2 hours a week. They are assessed using a variety of tesCng instruments. These include ACER Reading, the Burt Word spelling test and a phonics assessment. The students with the lowest score on some or all of these assessments are taken out of Language Support class and work through the Sounds-Write program for the year; they are only taken out with parental permission and are able to exit the program if they have achieved throughout their Cme.

Learning programs are developed to cater for the diverse range of student abiliCes and interests, both educaConal and spiritual, thus providing a balance of challenge and rigor. Students in this early adolescent phase of schooling work in a learning environment covering the tradiConal disciplines of Religious EducaCon, English, MathemaCcs, HumaniCes and Social Science, Scienceand Physical & Health EducaCon. Staff work as part of a Learning Team which focuses on students’ achievement of a set of outcomes based on knowledge, processes, skills, aqtudes and values, with an emphasis on what students know, value, understand and are able to do.
English support has conCnued developing from 2016. The structure of student selecCon and the communicaCon between staff, students and parents is now seamless. MathemaCcs Support changed in structure in 2017. There has been conCnuous communicaCon between staff and many things have been trialled to ensure it is as effecCve as it can be.
The MathemaCcs support will conCnue in 2019 and will be conCnuously reviewed. Together, these support programs, along with the Learning Support Team leaders, allows for greater accountability for students in need (NCCD students). The Gijed and Talented Program was modified in 2017. The emphasis was on acceleraCng the gijed students through the curriculum, both through curriculum and pedagogical modificaCon as a prime means of providing conCnuous differenCated learning experiences. From staff observaCons this has been more successful in MathemaCcs than it was in English. SupporCng Gijed and Talented students in English will be a focus in 2019.

PROGRESS ON THE ANNUAL SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT GOALS FOR 2018
• Throughout 2018 all staff members collaborated to ensure there was a culture that promoted learning. Learning spaces in the College were fiWed out with mulC-purpose break out spaces and furnishing that enabled students to engage in a variety of teaching spaces.
• Teaching staff members found sCmulaCng learning through compleCng individual Professional Grown Plans for each teacher. • The College used a range of data from NAPLAN, ACER and WACE results to adapt and modify teaching to assist student learning. • PosiCve EducaCon was adapted and modified (Flourish) where in addiCon to other concepts, development study workshops for Y07-Y12 were
presented. • Teachers helped students improve their study techniques, increase moCvaCon, build confidence, and lij exam performance by upskilling through
Elevate presenters. • NAPLAN results revealed a steady and sustained improvement in all areas. • Students made aware of School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) Awards. • Primary School clubs were located around the school. Students engaged in lego, art, reading, kniqng and a games club run by staff as well as a dance
and sport club run by student leaders with high parCcipaCon rates. • A new Learning Support process was introduced that included a referral process that had a referral form and formal communicaCon to parents. CAP/IEP
documents were made consistent throughout the Primary School. • Primary School re-introduced students exit learning support programs • Staff were introduced, through CEWA, to lead Professional Development differenCaCon in the Primary Classes. • Our VocaConal and EducaCon Program is extensive, and in 2018 offered Years 11 and 12 students the flexibility of undertaking over 50 TAFE courses
and work placement while sCll studying at MCC. • The Mandurah Catholic College Code of Conduct is part of a framework of documents which explicitly outline the expectaCons of staff working in a
Catholic school environment and in parCcular at Mandurah Catholic College. These include the MCC Key Staff ExpectaCons Policy, Caring Behaviour Policy, Ethical Use of Social Media (staff) Policy and Staff Dress Standard Policy. These documents build on the relevant policies developed by CEWA and the Bishop’s Mandate. CollecCvely these documents provide a broad framework to guide ethical and accountable behaviour of all staff at Mandurah Catholic College.
• Mandurah Catholic College adopts a variety of processes and procedures to ensure that student data is analysed, and appropriate acCons taken. The makeup and delivery of the Curriculum at Mandurah Catholic College is heavily influenced by the analysis of student data and results. Mandurah Catholic College uses BRLA, NAPLAN, OLNA, ACER and WACE results to reflect on current pracCce and inform decision-making. ReflecCon on the data takes place on many levels. Each Head of Learning Area reflects and discusses data with the Deputy Principal of Teaching and Learning accordingly idenCfying areas of focus. Issues relaCng to data are raised at Head of Learning Area and Head of Year meeCngs. Staff have access to achievement data such as NAPLAN on the Appraise website. Heads of Learning Area and the Head of Year 7 uClise student data such as NAPLAN, ACER, OLNA and school achievement data in the allocaCon of classes and to inform the process of streaming in subjects such as MathemaCcs, English and Science. Head of Year meeCngs, Head of Learning Area meeCngs, College Leadership Team meeCngs all regularly discuss data and the implicaCons of data to inform decision making.
