NAPLAN

Parents of Year 7 and Year 9 students would be aware that individual NAPLAN reports were distributed last week. It was pleasing to see that overall, Ignatius Park College students were at or above state average for boys in Queensland for all dimensions of the test. We should congratulate students and staff for a fine achievement. However, there is more work to be done, and I would like to take a moment to explain the effort that is being undertaken at the College to improve the learning for your sons in the dimension of data analysis.

A data analysis team on staff led by our AP Administration, Allison Elcoate, has identified areas for academic improvement for 2018 and beyond. I would like to affirm Allison in the key work that she is doing for our students in developing learning goals for individual students. Much of this work happens “in the background” at the College, but the effectiveness of the work is now coming to the foreground at the College. Some of the work that Allison has undertaken in 2017 includes:

• TheintroductionofaStudySkillsprograminYear11whichusesthestudents’progressivedatafromPATtests,NAPLAN andinternalschoolresultstobuildonthestudent’sstrengthsandprovidetargetedprogramsforidentifiedareasof improvement;• TheuseofcohortdatainYears7and9tofocusonareasforimprovementpriortotheNAPLANtesting;• TheuseofcohortdatafromNAPLANandPracticeTeststodevelopQCSsessionsfocusedonouryoungmenrecognising their talents and being able to work to their strengths to overcome difficulties;• TheuseofstudentdatamappinginYear12,wherealldataavailableforastudentiscollatedandanalysedtodetermine areas and strategies for improvement. This is a process which has been conducted with the OP Year 12 students during “Learner Improvement Plan Interviews” prior to QCS and will continue until the end of the year; and • Anincreasedabilityforourstafftoengagewiththedataavailable,withinformationbeingmoreaccessibleandpresentedto our staff in formats that are useful to them in their planning of teaching and learning.

CurriculumYear 11 Resources Infrastructure and Work PreparationOver the course of this year, the Year 11 Resources Infrastructure and Work Preparation students have been working on an outdoor garden, which has been built in our sand pit area of the Trades Skills Centre. Each term of the year has been dedicated to a different aspect of the project, Term 1 - the fence, Term 2 - the concrete pavers and path and Term 3 - the garden features themselves. Some of these features included retaining walls with raised garden beds, inground ponds with rock features pumping water and underwater lighting. The students learnt many features of garden design right through to mixing their own concrete to make concrete pavers. The students who actively participated and took on the ownership of the day to day tasks that were involved getting a project of thissizetofruition,shouldbecommended.Thesestudents will walk away from this project able to tackle their own gardens in their future homes.

College Bike Racks

The College bike racks are located within a locked compound for the safety of student bikes during the day. The gates are open until the start of the school day when they are locked. The gates are unlocked just before the end of classes and then remain open until the start of lessons the next day.

The expectation is that boys remove their bikes from the compound at the end of the day as there is no security of the compound once the gates are unlocked. If they are remaining at school, for training or other activities, they should take their bikes to their activity. If they are on detention or attending tutoring or homework club, they can chain their bikes in the Quad where there will be staff around to keep an eye on the bikes.

Unfortunately, our compound is behind the school and with the large amount of passing traffic in the afternoon, it is impossible to monitor who is entering this area. Under no circumstance, should bikes be left in the compound overnight.

Checks on College Hats Next Week

As we approach the warmer months when the average UV readings increase, the Pastoral Team is concerned that some boys are not wearing hats at school. Over many years, the staff have worked hard to increase the wearing of hats and the general response of the students has been very good.

To ensure that record continues, the Pastoral Team will be conducting checks of hats next week. Students need to ensure that they have a hat with an internal hat band attached and with their name clearly written on the hat band. Consequences will be issued to students without their hats/in good order.

The Uniform Shop is open on Friday and Monday morning as usual. As always, thank you for your assistance in keeping our students safe.
