Section A Overview TWO Statement from the Chair of the Governing Council The five years since TAFE Colleges were made autonomous bodies have been somewhat of a roller coaster ride for West Coast College. The high point was winning the National Training Provider of the Year Award in 1998. The low point being the realignment of TAFE delivery in the Northern Suburbs, which resulted in the closure of Carine Campus and the transfer of Balga Campus to the new Swan College of TAFE. The year did finish on a strong note however, with the announcement by the Minister that the new World Class Hospitality Centre will be located at West Coast’s Joondalup Campus. This decision should be viewed as not only a vote of confidence in the future of the trimmed down West Coast College but also as a springboard for further development of alliances in the region. The strong support of the City of Joondalup, Edith Cowan University and the WA Police Academy was undoubtedly a factor in the ultimate success of our submission for the Hospitality Centre. The Governing Council acknowledges and appreciates the contribution made by these three Institutions in cooperation with our own dedicated staff and local Members of Parliament. The level of reform and efficiencies expected of staff at West Coast in recent years coupled with the demands of the realignment and implementation process has resulted in enormous pressures on staff at all levels. However, changes resulting from the realignment will enable West Coast to focus on the programme areas of business, tourism/hospitality, information technology, health/education and community services. Additionally the College is in a position to maximise the benefits of our unique location in an educational precinct centred in a vibrant and growing region. The efforts of staff in the challenging circumstances outlined above are warmly appreciated and acknowledged by the Governing Council and it is to be hoped that those efforts will also be rewarded by strong and continuing support from the State Government and the Department of Training. The departure of our Managing Director Ralph Dawson in the middle of the year along with many other highly valued staff was another body blow to the College. The experience and commitment of those staff members will not easily be replaced. On behalf of the Governing Council I would like to acknowledge Ralph’s significant contribution to the College during the period of my chairmanship, firstly as Director of Resources, secondly as acting Managing Director and finally as Managing Director. I’m sure many of you share with me the loss of his dedication, experience and open counsel. Royce Standish had the unenviable task of taking over from Ralph mid-year and at a critical period in the College restructuring process. Royce hit the ground running and thanks to his efforts and vast experience the transition has been almost seamless. This has been of great benefit to the organisation, although on an individual level not always painless. During the year we farewelled Anne Willis who resigned from the Council to pursue a career and lifestyle change in the Southwest while Dr. John Bollig left us at the end of the year on his appointment to the Governing Council of the new Swan College of TAFE. Anne and John both made significant contributions to West Coast and our thoughts and best wishes go with them both.

Section A Overview Finally I must thank my fellow Governing Council members who despite serving five Ministers in five years and overseeing delivery of the three “R’s” (i.e. reform, restructure and realignment) have maintained a good humour and continued to contribute their collective skills and experience to the governance of the College. My special thanks go to the Deputy Chair Professor Leonie Still for her strong support and wise counsel. I also acknowledge the tremendous effort of the whole College establishment in embracing and implementing such far reaching reforms and radical restructuring. This will be my last statement as Governing Council Chair, as having reviewed my work and community commitments as a Stirling City Councillor, I concluded that I would no longer be able to devote the time required for this important leadership role and as a consequence resolved to vacate my position on 31 December 2002. I am extremely grateful for having had the opportunity to serve such an important and stimulating Institution in company with a very supportive and committed Governing Council and Executive.

Section A Overview FIVE Managing Director’s Report The year 2002 has been one of unprecedented change at West Coast College of TAFE. Following from a State Government Review of the WA TAFE College Network, the Balga Campus of the College has been amalgamated with the Midland and South East Metropolitan Colleges to form a new Swan College of TAFE. The Carine Campus of West Coast College is to be phased out with the majority of programs transferring to the College’s Joondalup Campus. Planning for these changes has been a priority task for the College Executive and staff, with support from the Department of Training, during the second half of the year. The new arrangements come into effect on 1st January 2003. The State Government’s decision announced in November, to establish a Hospitality Training Centre on the Joondalup Campus, to be managed by the College, has provided an exciting opportunity to develop a pre-eminent training institute for the needs of the hospitality industry – not only in the northern suburbs, but for the whole of WA. The College looks forward to working closely with the industry and key partners in the region in the planning and establishment of the Centre. Existing hospitality programs will be offered at the Carine Campus until the new Institute is ready for students and staff in 2004. While these immediate changes were a priority for the College, it was important for the College to have clear objectives for it’s future development, in particular for 2003. A planning exercise was completed in September following consultation within the College and externally. In view of the major changes underway in the College, a more comprehensive strategic plan will be completed in the first half of 2003. In the meantime the College has established the following objectives for 2003:

! A focus on programs and services for the College’s immediate region – in particular the Cities of Joondalup, Wanneroo and Stirling;

! A focus on meeting the diverse training needs of industry and the community, including entry-level training for young people and support for the disadvantaged in our community;

! A focus on being responsive and creative in developing and delivering programs and services based on the following areas;

- Business Management and Personal Services

- Child Care & Education

- Health and Community Services

- Hospitality and Tourism

- Information and Communications Technology

- Diversity, Access and Equity; and

! A focus on providing support for our staff.

In circumstances of major change and the associated uncertainty the College has had a very successful year. Planned enrolments have been met or exceeded in most program areas and the College’s actual financial position at the end of 2002 is significantly better than the estimated position established at the beginning of the year.

Section A Overview

College staff are to be congratulated for these successes and the numerous individual initiatives, many of which are highlighted in this report. I would like to acknowledge the significant contribution to the College made by Ralph Dawson, who retired as Managing Director on 30th June. The support of Terry Tyzack, Chairperson and members of the College’s Governing Council has been invaluable in providing sound direction for the development of the College. The community of West Coast College can look forward with confidence to 2003.

Section B Output Measures & Report on Operations

ONE Output Measures The following output measures are reported in the College's Annual Report in accordance with Treasurer's Instruction 904. The measures are consistent with those contained in the Consolidated Fund Expenditure Estimates for the WA Department of Training. The College targets for 2002 were set by the College Executive. MEASURE 1: STUDENT CURRICULUM HOURS (SCH). Table 1 Quantity: Total Student Curriculum Hours Delivered (SCH)

1998 Achieved 1999 Achieved 2000 Achieved 2001 Achieved 2002 Target 2002 Achieved

4,068,621 4,054,300 4,328,564 4,467,454 4,300,000 4,207,067 The College did not meet its target by about 100,000 SCH. This represents a decrease of 260,000 SCH when compared to the 2001 achievement. The decrease is mainly attributed to achievement in the Non-profile area, in activities like Adult Education Courses and fee-for-services activities in the Training Services area. Table 2 Quantity: Profile SCH Achieved


2,816,665 2,859,544 3,062,067 2,978,580 3,000,000 2,928,805

The College 2002 achievement is lower than its 2002 target by 70,000 SCH and lower than its 2001 achievement by 50,000 SCH. Table 3 Quantity: Non-Profile SCH Achieved


1,251,956 1,194,756 1,266,497 1,488,874 1,300,000 1,278,262

The non-profile area consists of activities related to the Adult Migrant Education Service (AMES) programs, Adult Community Education (ACE) delivery, Tendered courses and Commercial courses. The achievement for 2002 was close to the target set. MEASURE 2: QUALITY; STUDENT SATISFACTION. Table 4 Quality: Student Satisfaction Rate Achieved


82% 83% 80% 86% 84% 84% The WA Department of Training contracted Market Equity to conduct the Student Satisfaction survey on behalf of the Colleges. The Colleges participated in the quality improvement of the survey processes. The achieved rate of 84% is the same as the target rate of 84%. It is also comparable to the result achieved in 2001 (86%).

- 10 -

Section B Output Measures & Report on Operations MEASURE 3: QUALITY; SUCCESSFUL TRAINING- OUTPUTS (MODULE LOAD OUTPUT RATE). The Module Load Completion Rate (MLCR) measures the successful completion of each module whereas the Module Load Output Rate (MLOR) includes students who withdrew from the module but successfully gained employment related to their field of study. The College has exceeded most of the 2002 Target levels. Table 5 Module Load Output Rate Trends

Section B Output Measures & Report on Operations MEASURE 4: QUALITY; PROFILE SCH ACHIEVED. Table 6 Quality: Profile SCH Achieved


103.5% 98.7% 105.0% 100.1% 101.0% 99.1% This measure provides the percentage of SCH achieved over the funded (DPA) SCH. The College achieved 99.1% which is slightly lower than the 2002 target and 2001 achievement. This decrease is mainly due to the lower than expected enrolments in the Building Industry. MEASURE 5: TIMELINESS; DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE AGREEMENT (DPA) RECEIVED AND SIGNED OFF. Table 7 Timeliness: Receipt and Sign off of DPA


December, 1998 January, 2000 February, 2001 December, 2001 January, 2003 December, 2002

The signing and stamping with the Common Seal of the Delivery and Performance Agreement was completed earlier than the target date. MEASURE 6: QUANTITY; COST OF DELIVERY. Table 8 Quantity: Cost per SCH for Aggregate College Delivery (SCH)


$10.53 $11.47 $11.09 $10.55 $11.40 $11.40

The College achieved a lower cost per SCH than the target, and has achieved a reduction in cost per SCH each year since 1999. The 2002 cost per SCH of $10.87 is the same as the target. The calculation method used for 2001 and 2002 excluded the Capital User Charge (CUC) to ensure comparability. Table 9 Quantity; Cost per SCH for Aggregate College Delivery (SCH) excluding non-SCH activities


- $11.01 $10.57 $10.39 $11.00 $10.98

The College delivers a broad range of research; learning material development and other VET related programs, which do not involve actual student delivery. It is therefore important to report on the cost per SCH excluding these operations. The cost per SCH achieved in 2002 was slightly less than the 2002 target. The calculation method used for 2001 and 2002 excluded CUC to ensure comparability.

- 12 -

Section B Output Measures & Report on Operations TWO Organisational Performance As a College management tool, targets for 2001 have also been set for other output measures. Review of actual achievement against targets will enable the College Executive and the Governing Council to assess performance more appropriately. MEASURE 1: QUALITY; GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT STATUS (% EMPLOYED). Table 10 Quality: Percent (%) of Graduates Employed


72% 68% 74% 67% 75% 69.2% The 2002 results reflect the percentage of the 2001 graduates employed. The percentage employed is below the target by 6% and is believed to be a reflection of the fluctuation occurring in the economy and the labour market. The State results are 71.1% and Nationally 73.1%. MEASURE 2: QUALITY; GRADUATE SATISFACTION. Table 11 Quality: Graduate Satisfaction Rating


81% 84% 77% 76% 80% 75% There is a reduction in Graduate Satisfaction since 1999. The 2002 result of 75% is comparable to the State result of 77%, and the National rate of 78%. However, the College result is below the set target set of 80%. MEASURE 3: QUANTITY; ACCESS & PARTICIPATION OF SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS. Table 12 Quantity: Access and Participation Rate of Special Needs Groups


8.8% 14.7% 17.5% 15.0% 17.5% 19.0%

The information was derived from the SCH achieved for Stream 2000 (profile only). The achievement is slightly higher than the target and showed an improvement on the 2001 achievement. MEASURE 4: QUANTITY; PERCENTAGE OF NON-PROFILE (SCH) Table 13 Percentage of Non-Profile SCH


30.8% 29.4% 29.3% 33.3% 30.2% 30.4%

The 2002 achievement met the 2002 target and is comparable to that achieved for 2001.

- 13 -

Section B Output Measures & Report on Operations MEASURE 5: QUANTITY: PERCENTAGE OF REVENUE FROM SERVICES ($). Table 14 Quantity: Percent Revenue From Services


34.5% 40.6% 41.1% 37.1% 43.0% 33.5 %

The revenue from services (ordinary activities) achieved in 2002 was significantly lower than the target and lower than the 2001 achievement. This outcome is due to the lack of, and decreasing opportunities in the fee for service activities. THREE Report on Operations The College’s vision is to be a world-class provider of Vocational Education and Training through innovation, enterprise and leadership. In 2002 the College continued to gain national and international recognition for its many innovative programs and projects. Overseas visitors are enthusiastic about West Coast’s programs and facilities, and interstate visits generate regular enquiries about the College’s development of flexible learning methodologies, research and development, and online learning materials. COLLEGE HIGHLIGHTS Hospitality Training Centre In October 2002, West Coast College of TAFE was successful in obtaining funding to build a Hospitality Training Centre at the Joondalup Campus, the only hospitality training facility in the northern corridor. The delivery of hospitality courses will continue from the Carine Campus in 2003 until construction of the new Hospitality Training Centre is completed. Events

In May 2002, an Information Day was held at Edith Cowan University (ECU) Joondalup Campus. West Coast College was invited to participate to promote its courses and the articulation process from West Coast College to ECU. Also in May, West Coast College participated in a Careers Expo at the Fremantle Passenger Terminal held over three days. School students, recent school leavers, parents and mature age people visited the many booths to explore study and employment options. The Tourism Section held a travel show in June organised by the Diploma level students. Students of all stages of Certificate III also participated. Approximately 400 people attended the travel show. A media launch was held at the Balga Campus in October for the initiation of a new Building Skills Policy. This was attended by Dr Geoff Gallop (Premier), Tim Stephens (Minister) and Norman Marlborough (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Consumer and Employment Protection). An opportunity was provided for the Premier and Ministers to speak to several of the apprentices that will benefit from the Building Skills Policy. West Coast College participated in the Department of Training’s Career Choices Expo hosted at the Burswood Dome in July with approximately 14,000 people visiting. The biennial Worldskills competition was also run this year under the banner “Careers in Action” which showcased a variety of industries through trade competitions and demonstrations.

2001 Winners The winners of the 2001 Employee of the Year Award were David Fleay and Malcolm Wood from Electrical Trades at the Balga Campus. David and Malcolm together developed, resourced and implemented a course of training in Security Installation. This required them to seek information throughout Australia and overseas from educational and industry resources, which led to the donation of equipment, and technical information. Local industry contacts had expressed the need for up front training that was hands on. Malcolm took responsibility for driving the implementation and David came on board shortly after. Malcolm and David worked closely with industry parties, suppliers and regulators to construct a relevant and acceptable training course. Whilst keeping management informed of developments, they worked tirelessly in Professional Duty time, and their own time to progress the project and bring the course, support materials and facilities to a state of operational readiness. This course was so successful that West Coast College of TAFE won the Security Agents Institute for “Excellence in a Training Organisation”: award. This highly prestigious award was presented by the Police Minister, Michelle Roberts, at a function at Burswood and accepted on behalf of the College by Malcolm and David.

Section B Output Measures & Report on Operations 2002 Winner Steve Brooks, who is also from Electrical Trades at the Balga Campus, was presented with the 2002 Employee of the Year Award. Steve has been a very self-motivated staff member over many years at the Balga, Carine and Joondalup Campuses. Steve has developed over thirty electrical modules in which the College sells through the bookshop and throughout Australia. Steve has also developed a computer program for the electrical assessment bank. This allows for a rapid replacement and updating of assessment papers that service the apprenticeship and pre-apprenticeship schemes. The majority of these were developed in his own time and using his own resources. Steve has developed over 1800 assessment papers using a computer program of his own design. This he developed again in his own time and using his own resources. All resources Steve developed were made available to all lecturing staff. Steve has been instrumental in the implementation of the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF) and developed a trade-based model for the Balga Campus that covered all requirements to meet the AQTF in one handy manual. The vast majority of the time used to develop this was outside normal working hours.

Section C Compliance Reporting EIGHT Customer Focus The provision of College-focused Client Service functions in 2002 ensured that its operations reflect the College values of equity, integrity and quality to its clients. The College Student Scholarship Scheme, sponsored by Local Government and Industry, was again well supported in 2002, awarding 18 full-time and part-time scholarships to students from a wide variety of study areas. The object of the Schools Liaison Program is to provide advice and information on the range of training options available through West Coast College of TAFE. The program is a valuable community service as well as promoting the courses offered by the College. The College was invited to participate in 11 Career and School Expos with approximately 3800 information packs distributed over the year. A total of 40 presentations and 27Campus tours addressed over 5,414 high school students, and parents. NINE Evaluation of Programs The Vocational Education and Training Act 1996 requires the College to provide Vocational Education and Training consistent with the College Training Profile.

ELEVEN Disability Services West Coast College continues to be committed to providing a quality service for students with disabilities, in line with the College’s community focus and the legal requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act (1993) and Western Australian Equal Opportunity Amendment Act (1998). In line with the Department of Training’s commitment to the retention of students with disabilities, West Coast College of TAFE’s 2002 Disabilities Plan has employed strategies that will achieve this outcome. These strategies have proved very successful with the College showing an increase in the number of students with disabilities who have enrolled in courses in 2002. West Coast College of TAFE is also dedicated to ensuring that all staff are aware of the needs of students with disabilities. In 2002, a staff training package was created and implemented with workshops so that staff can understand both “direct” and “indirect” discrimination and how they can best meet the needs of students with disabilities. At the request of the Department of Training, West Coast College has provided this training to staff at other Colleges. Staff feedback on the training has been very positive.

The College sought an extension of time to comply with equity and diversity objectives for 2002. This was due to significant organisational restructuring and staff redundancies directly resulting from Government decisions. The effects of these changes have impacted directly on the College’s capacity to meet its original 2001–2002 Equity Plan objectives and will continue to impact across the 2002–2003 fiscal year.

Section D Key Performance Indicators Key Performance Indicators DESIRED OUTCOME

To provide the optimum training and skills formation opportunities for industry, the community and individuals, and deliver quality vocational education and training products and services through the College Training Profile and other self-supporting activities. West College of TAFE has developed key performance indicators to report on profile (state funded as prescribed in the Delivery and Performance Agreement) and non-profile (self-supporting) activities. EFFECTIVENESS INDICATORS

The effectiveness indicators measure student and graduate satisfaction, labour force status and access and participation levels. In 2002, three major student surveys were conducted to provide information on student and graduate satisfaction levels. Student Satisfaction

Market Equity conducted a student satisfaction survey on behalf of the WA Department of Training in September 2002, with the summary of results being available in publication, 2002 Student Satisfaction Survey, November 2002, a report for West Coast College of TAFE. The survey focused on the needs of employment based students and institution based students. Students were asked about their level of satisfaction with their courses, the quality of teaching, the delivery support and advisory services. The Student Satisfaction performance indicator compares the number of very satisfied respondents with those who are satisfied, which is expressed as a proportion of the total survey respondents. TAFE Student Outcomes (Graduate Destination) Survey

The aim of the national TAFE Student Outcomes Survey was to measure vocational education and training (VET) graduate employment, further study destinations and the opinions of the participants on the courses completed. The 2002 TAFE graduate destination survey results are published in the document, 2002 Student Outcomes Survey: Institute Report, November 2002 by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA). The 2002 survey was administered to West Coast College students who graduated in 2001. The 2002 survey included all 2001 TAFE College graduates of award courses of at least 200 hours or one semester in enrolment duration and who had an Australian address as their usual address. Graduate Employment status was measured for each category (employed, unemployed and not in labour force) at a particular date, obtained by calculating the ratio of graduates in each category compared to total respondents and expressed as a percentage. It needs to be noted that the 2002 results were derived using the number of valid responses as the denominator, making it consistent with the previous years. Internal Student Satisfaction Survey

The College conducted Module evaluation for 2002 as part of its quality improvement strategy. The evaluation is the responsibility of Managers and supported by the Corporate Planning Section. Regular reports are presented to the Quality Council.

Section D Key Performance Indicators 1.1. OVERALL STUDENT SATISFACTION 1.1.a Student Satisfaction Rating (Profile and Tendered activities) The College’s 2002 Student Satisfaction showed a 3% decrease when compared with 2001 result (87%) and is similar to the State average (83%). The survey included a sample of students who had undertaken a course of study in either first or second semester of 2002. The sampling error for WCC is +/- 2.17%. The response rate for Institution Based Students was 21% and for Employer Based Students was 14%. Table 23 Student Satisfaction Rating Trends

Satisfied Very Satisfied Total 1998 WCC 57% 25% 82% 1999 WCC 54% 29% 83% 2000 WCC - - 80% 2001 WCC 53% 34% 87% 2002 WCC 49% 35% 84% 2002 STATE 47% 36% 83%

1.1.b Student Satisfaction Rating (non-profile) Student satisfaction surveys for non-profile activities occurring within the Adult Migrant Education Service (AMES) and other Fee-For-Service activities aim to assess student opinion on course content, organisation, presentation and teaching skills. The overall satisfaction rate has remained at a very high level since 1998. The response rate for AMES was 95% and 87% for Fee For Service activities. Table 24 Student Satisfaction Rating Trends (Non-profile)

Fee-for-Service 96% 97% 96% 96% 96% 1.2 GRADUATE EMPLOYMENT STATUS The proportion of graduates in employment is a Key Performance Indicator that shows the extent to which the college is providing relevant quality training programs. Providing graduates with relevant skills to enter the work force and/or retraining for employment, while also meeting industry needs, is a key objective of the College.

Section D Key Performance Indicators The 2002 TAFE Student Outcomes Survey report for the College indicated that: ! The graduate employment rate for West Coast College was 69%, which is 2% lower than the rate for Western Australia

(71%). ! The percentage of West Coast College of TAFE graduates who were employed showed an increase of 2% over the 2001

results In 2002, 2,439 graduates were surveyed and 990 responded, representing a 40.6% response rate which is similar to the State response rate of 39.8%.

1.3 GRADUATE SATISFACTION Graduate satisfaction is a Key Performance Indicator that measures the extent to which West Coast College graduates had fully or partly achieved their main reason for undertaking the course, and is compared to the State and National averages. Table 26 Graduate Satisfaction Trends for West Coast College, WA and Australia

West Coast College Western Australia Australia

1998 81% 81% 80% 1999 84% 82% 80% 2000 77% 79% 80% 2001 76% 76% 79% 2002 75% 77% 78%

The overall graduate satisfaction (those who wholly or partly achieved their main reason for doing the course) for West Coast College was 75%. This result is slightly lower than Western Australian result of 77% and National rate of 78%. The survey result is similar to 2001 results. 1.4 ACCESS & PARTICIPATION DELIVERY LEVELS Access and participation courses provide general education and employment preparation for adults in the community and meet specific needs of indigenous people, women, Australians of diverse linguistic backgrounds and other special needs groups. These courses increase the training and skills formation opportunities for the community and individuals. This Key Performance Indicator for equity and access groups shows the level of delivery, in terms of student curriculum hours and measures the extent to which the college is meeting the skills formation and training needs of special needs groups. The effectiveness measure includes profile and non-profile delivery activities. The table below shows the percentage of Student Curriculum Hours delivered in access and participation for Adult Migrant Education Services (AMES), Adult Community Education courses and Stream 2000 (access and equity) delivery funded in the DPA.

Section D Key Performance Indicators 1.5 PERCENTAGE OF NON-PROFILED ACTIVITIES AGAINST TOTAL COLLEGE DELIVERY This indicator demonstrates the effectiveness of the College in meeting the training needs of industry, the community and individuals that are additional to the College Training Profile. The indicator also measures the effectiveness in attracting non-profile delivery funds from fee-for-service, tendered and Adult Community Education activities. The measure shows the percentage of non-profile SCH achieved compared to the total college SCH achieved for the past five years. Table 28

Percentage of Non-Profiled Activities Against Total College Delivery Trends Profile Non-Profile

2000 70.7% 29.3%

2001 66.7% 33.3%

2002 69.6% 30.4% The SCH in the final census summary, which is derived from the Australian Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard, (AVETMISS) files, has been adjusted to conform to the national one participation guidelines as provided by the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA). Non-profile activities exclude any delivery contracted with the W A Department of Training through the Delivery and Performance Agreement. Non-profile delivery activities embrace the College Business activities covering: Adult Community Education, Fee-for-Service and activities conducted through the Adult Migrant Education Service contracted by the Department of Immigration Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs (DIMIA). The College has maintained a high component of non-profile activity. 1.6 ANNUAL COLLEGE PROFILE TARGET ACHIEVEMENT The College is funded under the Delivery and Performance Agreement to deliver 2,955,271 SCH distributed amongst the State defined Industry Groups. This purchased delivery by the State from West Coast College took into the consideration the needs of the State as defined in the State Training Profile and the needs of the key stakeholders of the College. The diversity of delivery indicates the extent to which the College is required to meet the strategic training needs of the local community, and the training plans of the industry and individuals.

2 EFFICIENCY INDICATORS The efficiency indicator is a measure that shows the extent to which the College has officially delivered training as measured in student curriculum hours (SCH). 2.1 Overall Cost per SCH 2.1.a Overall Cost per SCH for Aggregate College Delivery The overall cost per SCH is an efficiency measure that shows the aggregate unit cost of delivery output per SCH, based on the delivery costs (Total Cost of Services) as detailed in the 2002 Financial Statements. A capital user charge of $4,221,295 was incorporated in total expenditure as required by Treasury. This has inflated the total expenditure and cost per SCH to $12.40. The cost per SCH for comparison purposes, excluding the capital user charge is therefore $11.40. Table 31

Total Cost of Services Total SCH Delivered Total Cost per SCH delivered

1998 $42,840,166 4,068,621 $10.53

1999 $46,520,462 4,054,300 $11.47

2000 $48,013,125 4,328,564 $11.09

2001 $47,115,643 4,467,454 $10.55

2002 $47,987,008 4,207,067 $11.40 2.1 b Overall Cost per SCH excluding non-SCH generation programs In evaluating the Aggregate Unit Cost of delivery for the College by comparative cost analysis with other training providers it is necessary to consider a range of underlying factors that can contribute to and affect associated delivery costs. West Coast College is involved in a number of training services, which do not generate SCH such as; Research and Development, On-line Technology, Stirling Incubator and Training Agreement Branch activities. The table below shows total expenditure after deducting all expenses incurred by non-delivery activities. The total cost per SCH delivered in 2002 excluding Capital User Charge is higher than that achieved in 2001. Table 32

West Coast College of TAFE

1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been adopted in the preparation of the financialstatements. Unless otherwise stated these policies are consistent with those adopted in the preceding year.

In these financial statements and notes thereto, West Coast College of TAFE is referred to as "the College".

General Statement

The financial statements constitute a general purpose financial report which has been prepared in accordancewith Australian Accounting Standards, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and Urgent Issues Group (UIG) Consensus Views as applied by the Treasurer's Instructions. Several of these are modified by the Treasurer's Instructionsto vary application, disclosure, format and wording. The Financial Administration and Audit Act and the Treasurer's Instructions are legislative provisions governing the preparation of financial statements and takeprecedence over Australian Accounting Standards, Statements of Accounting Concepts and other authoritativepronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, and UIG Consensus Views. The modificationsare intended to fulfil the requirements of general application to the public sector, together with the need forgreater disclosure and also to satisfy accountability requirements.

If any such modification has a material or significant financial effect upon the reported results, details of that modification and where practicable, the resulting financial effect, are disclosed in individual notes to thesefinancial statements.

The statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting using the historical cost convention,except for certain assets and liabilities which, as noted, are measured at valuation.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment has been brought to account at both historical cost and at fair value. Refer note: 22(a).

1.2.1 Land and Buildings:

Land is reported on the 'current existing use' valuation basis as it is primarily all Crown Land.

Buildings are recorded at fair value or at cost.

Fair values are based on advice received from the Valuer General's Department and assume existing use,being the continuing occupation of properties by the College.

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the asset revaluation reserve, unless they are reversing a previous decrement charged to the Statement of Financial Performance, in which case the increment is credited to the Statement of Financial Performance.

Revaluation decrements are recognised as expenses in the Statement of Financial Performance, unless they are reversing revaluation increments previously credited to, and still included in the balance of, the asset revaluation reserve in respect of that same class of assets, in which case they are debited directly to the asset revaluation reserve.

Revaluation increments and decrements are offset against one another within a class of non current assets, but not otherwise.

1.2.2 Library:

Library materials are expensed in the year of acquisition.

1.2.3 Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment

All property, plant and equipment, with the exception of land, are systematically depreciated over their useful lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of their future economic benefits.

Depreciation is calculated on the straight line basis. The depreciation rates for the various classes ofproperty, plant and equipment are as follows:

Motor Vehicles 15.0% 7 yearsBuildings 2.5% to 5% 40 to 25 yearsPlant, Furniture, General Equipment 10% to 20% 10 to 5 yearsComputer and Communications Equipment 20% to 50% 5 to 2 years

1.2.4 Acquisition of Assets

The cost method of accounting is used for all acquisitions of assets. Cost is measured as the fair valueof the assets given up or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition plus incidental costs directlyattributable to the acquisition.

Leased Assets

The College has entered into a number of operating lease arrangements for motor vehicles, officeequipment and office premises where the lessors effectively retain all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the items held under the operating leases. Equal instalments of the lease payments are chargedto the Statement of Financial Performance over the lease term as this is representative of the pattern of benefitsto be derived from the leased property.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Costs are assigned by the method mostappropriate to each particular class of inventory, with the majority being valued on a first in first out basis.

Investments

Investments are brought to account at the lower of cost and recoverable amount. Interest revenuesare recognised as they are accrued.

Employee Entitlements

1.6.1 Annual and Long Service Leave

Annual Leave

This entitlement is recognised at current remuneration rates and is measured at the amount unpaid at the reporting date in respect to employees' service up to that date.

Long Service Leave

A liability for long service leave is recognised, and is measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Consideration is given, when assessing expected future payments, to expected future wage and salarylevels including relevant on costs, experience of employee departures and periods of service.Expected future payments are discounted using interest rates to obtain the estimated future cash outflows.

1.6.2 Deferred Salaries

All staff are entitled to forego a portion of their salary for four years in order that they make take one paid year of leave in the fifth year. An amount is recognised in the financial statements for the accumulated amounts forgone based on current salary rates.

1.6.3 Superannuation

Staff may contribute to the Pension Scheme, a defined benefits pension scheme now closed to newmembers, or to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme, a defined lump sum scheme now also closedto new members. All staff who do not contribute to either of these schemes become non-contributorymembers of the West State Superannuation Scheme, an accumulation fund complying with the Commonwealth Government's Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act 1992. All of theseschemes are administered by the Government Employees Superannuation Board (GESB).

The Pension Scheme and pre-transfer benefit for employees who transferred to the Gold State Superannuation Scheme are unfunded and the liability for future payments are provided for atreporting date.

The liabilities for superannuation charges under the Gold State Superannuation Scheme and West StateSuperannuation Scheme are extinguished by payment of employer contributions to the GESB.

The note disclosure required by paragraph 51(e) of AAS 30 (being the employer's share of the difference between employee's accrued superannuation benefits and the attributable net market value of planassets) has not been provided. State scheme deficiencies are recognised by the State in its whole ofgovernment reporting. The GESB's records are not structured to provide the information for the College. Accordingly, deriving the information for the College is impractical under currentarrangements, and thus any benefits thereof would be exceeded by the cost of obtaining the information.

Revenue Recognition

The majority of the operating revenue of the College represents revenue earned from student fees and charges, fee for service, ancillary services, trading activities and Commonwealth grants and subsidies, as well as revenue received from the Western Australian Department of Training arising from successful competitive tenders.

The funds received from the Western Australian Department of Training in respect of the delivery of services forming part of the Delivery Performance Agreement, capital grants and other monies have been disclosed as 'Revenues from Government'. Revenue is recognised in the period in which the College receives the funds.

Revenue from the sale of goods and disposal of other assets, and the rendering of services, is recognised when the College has passed control of the goods or other assets, or delivered the service to the customer.

Grants and Other Contributions Revenue

Grants, donations, gifts and other non-reciprocal contributions are recognised as revenue when the College obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions. Control is normally obtainedupon receipt.

Contributions are recognised at fair value. Contributions of services are only recognised when a fair valuecan be reliably determined and the services would be purchased if not donated.

Resources Received Free of Charge or For Nominal Value

Resources received free of charge or for nominal value which can be reliably measured are recognisedas revenues and as assets or expenses, as appropriate at fair value.

Capital User Charge

A capital user charge rate of 8% has been set by the Government and represents the opportunity costof capital invested in the net assets of the College used in the provision of outputs. The charge iscalculated on the net assets adjusted to take account of exempt assets. Payments are made to the Departmentof Treasury and Finance on a quarterly basis.

Receivables

Trade debtors are recorded at the amount of contracted sales proceeds.

-49-


The collectibility of trade debts is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Bad debts are written off when formally recognised as being irrecoverable. A provision for doubtful debts is raised where doubts exist as to the collectability of a debt.

Payables

Accounts payable, including trade creditors and other payables are recognised when the College becomes obliged to make future payments as a result of a purchase of goods or services. Trade Creditors are settled within 30 days.

Accrued Salaries

Accrued salaries represent the amount due to staff but unpaid at the end of the financial year where the lastpay period does not coincide with the end of the financial year. The College considers the carrying amountapproximates net fair value.

Cash Assets

For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash assets includes cash on hand and advances, cash at bank and short term deposits.

Net Fair Values of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The net fair values assigned to monetary financial assets and liabilities, which are not traded in an organised financial market are equal to the cost basis carrying amounts of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accruals (which approximate net market value).

Comparative Figures

Comparative figures are, where appropriate, reclassified so as to be comparable with the figures presentedin the current financial year.

Rounding

Amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest dollar.
