ANNUAL REPORT 2013

SCHOOL NAME: PARACOMBE PRIMARY SCHOOL School Number: 0327 Principal: Bill Lewis Region: Adelaide Hills

The Annual Report sets out our achievements for 2013 and reports against DECD school priorities for the year. It is usually presented at the Annual General Meeting and to the District Director who represents DECD. It is our belief that the year has been a successful one for the school. The provision of high quality educational services continues to be our core business. The year has also seen the improvement of some school facilities. We extend our gratitude and thanks to the staff, who have been diligent in their efforts to provide a safe and meaningful educational service at Paracombe. We would sincerely like to thank all parents for their support of the school and its programs during the year. We would also like to encourage parents to consider ways of assisting the school in 2014, whether through membership of Governing Council or by offering help in ways that benefit a supportive and collaborative school community. CONTEXT

The school was established in 1910 and has maintained an enrolment of approximately 65students in recent years. Most of the students live locally, but there has been an increase in students enrolling from outside the district in recent years, due to the growing reputation of the school. Paracombe enjoys a high level of parental support and involvement. The community holds very high academic and social expectations of the school and the school has been living up to these expectations based on feedback provided by parents in the Parent Opinion Survey conducted by DECD each year. The original school was demolished in 1980 due to significant white ant damage. The new school building boasts 3 classrooms, an activity area, Kids Kitchen, a new library thanks to BER money in 2010, an admin block, a mezzanine resource storage area as well as a separate Art Studio. Our grounds offer plenty of shaded areas as well as a medium sized oval, an asphalt tennis court, various creative play areas as well as a modern playground. In 2013 there were no Aboriginal, NESB or ESL students enrolled at the school. School Card - 1.7%, Students with Disabilities - 5.1%.

Staff at Paracombe Primary School includes:

1 Principal 5 Teachers (1 full time and 4 part time) 1 Finance Officer 2 School Service Officers 2 Grounds Staff

We have very committed, caring and professional staff who enjoy working at Paracombe P.S. We certainly appreciate the wonderful support we get from parents. This partnership helps to make our school environment a place where students feel safe and supported. Bill Lewis - Principal

Governing Council Report

The AGM was held in February. The Governing Council for 2013 consisted of 12 elected parents and the principal. Governing Council held 8 meetings during the year with all meetings attracting a quorum. Throughout the year Governing Council provided feedback and support for staff and successfully managed a range of special projects. Governing Council also played a significant role in planning and organising the following events:

Organising a very successful Mother’s Day & Father’s Day Stall Organising Parent Morning Teas Supported staff to run two successful Sports Days Providing advice to the school principal on a range of School Policies Assistance with the organisation of the End of Year School Concert

We will again be encouraging interested parents to join Governing Council in 2014 so that new ideas, different perspectives and diverse skills can be sourced.

Student Achievement

Literacy and Numeracy continue to be our top priorities as part of our Site Improvement Plan. Overall NAPLAN results for 2013 were generally positive and reflect the high quality of teaching and learning that is evident throughout all classes within the school. With small cohorts for all tested year levels in 2013 it has been difficult to draw conclusions regarding overall year level performances so we have been looking more closely at individual results to monitor student achievement and growth. In 2009 we developed the NAPLAN Predictor which is filled out by staff prior to NAPLAN testing so that we can compare predictions with individual student actual results. In addition, we have developed some new charts to look at the overall school NAPLAN results expressed as a percentage of students who achieved results above the national average. A total of 21 students participated in the NAPLAN testing program in 2013 which is very small number of students. Some of the positive information for each year that we have extracted from the data appears below. NAPLAN Yr. 3 (7 students)

100% of students achieved the National Minimum Standards in Numeracy, Grammar & Punctuation, Spelling, Writing and Reading.

Mean scores were higher in all five areas compared to 2012 results.

The school’s mean results well also well above National Average in all five areas of testing.

Site Improvement Plan

Site Improvement Plan priorities for 2013 were Literacy & Numeracy. Each staff member is responsible for formulating planned actions and learning targets for the year levels that they teach. Learning targets are usually developed at the end of term 1 so that teachers can make informed predictions / targets about the new students in their class. Individual class / year level outcomes are recorded at the start of the school year to assist teachers with planned actions for the year ahead. See appendix A for detailed information on:

As indicated on the previous page, only a very small number of students were tested in each level so the data can easily be affected by 1 or 2 students performing poorly or strongly. For this reason we have to be particularly careful in drawing wider conclusions about the data. I believe that data for schools where there is less than 10 students in a particular tested year level should not be published in a whole school data set. We have found that our data can vary enormously from year to year, particularly when only 4 or 5 students are tested and 1 or 2 of these tested students perform at the higher or lower end of the results spectrum. This has happened previously and our results were so high that it gave a very skewed view of our academic achievement in Literacy and Numeracy for a particular year level.

We know that some parents look at both the school Annual Report via the school’s website, as well as the ‘My School’ website and make judgements about schools based on their NAPLAN results. I have fielded many calls from parents who have looked at our NAPLAN data online and have requested a visit to the school.

The NAPLAN results for our school in 2013 was strong for across all years levels compared to the regional and national results.

OUTSTANDING RUNNING RECORDS RESULTS

In 2013 our Early Years Reading Programme proved its worth with 100% of our Yr. 1 students reading at Level 11 or higher. Our Yr. 2 results were equally impressive with 100% of our students reading at Level 16 or higher. This is a fantastic endorsement for the programs run by Mrs. D.F. and Mrs Williams. Congratulations to teachers, support staff and parent volunteers who all make such a huge contribution. Our school results easily surpassed state average figures as shown in the following charts.

Year 1: There were 9 students tested with all 6 showing a medium level of improvement (3-7 levels) in the 5 month period between testing (April-September). Four students in Yr. 1 reached Level 22 by September. Year 2: There were 8 students tested with the maximum recorded growth of 6 levels. Six students reached the highest level (26) by the end of the testing period (April-September). Two other students reached Level 20 or higher.

Attendance

Overall attendance levels have exceeded state averages in recent years and the school has set high targets in 2013 as part of our Attendance Policy. We were aiming for an overall attendance rate of 95% or better in 2013 and have implemented a range of measures to help us achieve this target. Data provided to the school indicated that our overall attendance rate for 2013 was again very high (95.7). Year 2, Rec, 4 and 3 attendance levels (96.8% or over) were the highest. Year 6 had the lowest attendance level (91.2%).

enrolments

Enrolments have been growing slowly over the past 10 years but dropped in 2012 due to losing a significant number of year 7 students at the end of 2011 (14). In term 3 last year we reached an all time enrolment record of 69 students. Our enrolments trend over recent years is very encouraging given that all of our nearby Adelaide Hills schools are experiencing a decline in student enrolments. Based on the information held in our enrolment data base our numbers are likely to drop slightly in 2015 due to the loss of a large cohort of Year 7 students (10) and only a small number of new enrolments listed. Numbers will increase again in 2016 due to a healthy number of new enrolments from the Houghton Pre School.

CLIENT SATISFACTION

Parent, Student and Staff Opinion Surveys were not conducted in 2013 due to some technical difficulties experienced by a number of DECD school throughout the Adelaide Hills Region. DECD outsourced their Parent Opinion Surveys to a private company and many site leaders, including myself spent many hours trying to set up the new system with limited success. It is hoped that some of the teething problems experienced in 2013 will be overcome in 2014 with the assistance of training and development opportunities. In order to provide some information in this area I have included data from 2012 which is consistent with data collected over many years at Paracombe Primary School. Our data shows a very high level of satisfaction from parents, staff and students.

FINANCIAL REPORT

The school continues to remain in a strong financial position despite 10 years of solid spending. The increase in student enrolments in recent years has meant increased funding to the school through the global budget. Staff and Governing Council have used these additional funds to purchase educational resources, upgrade computers and other information technology items, increase teacher and SSO staff levels as well as undertaking a range of special projects relating to school facilities.

In addition, the school received a number of grants throughout the year.

An annual financial statement (EDSAS Profit & Loss) is attached to this document. See Appendix B.

STAFF QUALIFICATIONS

All teaching staff are fully registered teachers with the Teaching Registration Board of South Australia. All teaching staff have a Diploma in Education. One staff member has completed a Graduate Diploma in Social Sciences (Educational Counselling).

In addition, 4 of our teaching staff hold ‘Level 9 Teacher’ status.

Two teaching staff have also been awarded National Excellence in Teaching Awards.
