Our School Vision

At St. Dominic’s Catholic Primary School

We model, share and celebrate in the Catholic tradition.

We recognise and embrace the importance and

significance of religious traditions, and the richness of

our cultural diversity.

We aspire to create a welcoming, inclusive, challenging

and supportive environment where students, staff,

parents and the wider parish are all active partners in

our unique journey as life-long learners.

We acknowledge and accept the ongoing responsibility

to develop ourselves as a community of leaders through

the spiritual, educational, social, emotional and

physical growth of each individual.



School Overview

St Dominic’s Catholic Primary School, Broadmeadows, first opened in February 1959

when 200 children commenced their education under the care of two teachers. The Sisters

of St Joseph originally donated the land on which the school and church are built and have

had a great deal of influence in the school's development. Rapid population expansion in

the 1960s forced St Dominic’s to grow to nearly 1000 students. St Dominic’s remained a

large school catering for the many cultural groups who moved into the area. St Dominic’s

is still a highly multicultural school. The development of new residential areas resulted in

changing enrolments. The school currently has an enrolment of 225 students.

St Dominic’s has 15 learning areas, a Library, Staff Resources/Preparation room and an

Administration Block. The learning areas comprise ten classrooms, Reading Recovery

room, a Student Wellbeing / Language Centre for New Arrival students, Hall providing

stage, basketball, volleyball, netball, badminton, and kitchen facilities and a Community

Learning Centre (HUB). St. Dominic's is an attractive vibrant school that offers a safe,

high quality education for all its students. The student population is made up of some 23

different nationalities, and 85.5% of students have a language background other than

English. This diversity of cultures is enriching for our school.

Our school has an experienced and professional staff who offer a wonderful range of

learning opportunities for the students. Our facilities provide a safe and supportive

learning environment which we continue to enhance and develop. The parent community

is very supportive of our students and their learning. As a Catholic School Community,

we aim to develop faith filled young people who are actively and positively engaged in

their community.



Principal’s Report

It is with pleasure that I present St. Dominic’s Catholic Primary School 2015 Annual Report.

As a Catholic school community, we are very aware of the challenges faced by many in

our community. We believe that we are invited to make a difference in the lives of those

we meet, and are called to respond with an open heart. The invitation is to journey with

one another, and to be Christ like in all we do.

At St Dominic’s school cultural and religious traditions are valued and celebrated. A

welcoming environment is fostered through partnerships with families, parish and

community. The diverse range of talents and skills in the community is acknowledged

and celebrated and are drawn upon to enrich the lives of all students. The unique stories

of students and their families create a rich tapestry that embraces cultural differences

and provides a supportive, socially cohesive environment where all have the opportunity

to experience success.

In 2015 we have continued to build on our community partnerships. The richness in the

cultural and social diversity of our school community enables us to celebrate in many ways,

while at the same time challenges us to identify needs to support students and their

families. Our parents are encouraged and supported in involving themselves in their

child’s learning. The challenges faced by many of our parents because of language,

trauma, separation from their homeland, and even having had limited or no schooling

themselves, have been recognized and acknowledged. We believe we are a community

of learners, and as such, we recognize the opportunity to embrace many styles of learning,

and raise the learning outcomes for all. We enrol not only the child, but also the family.

Our Parish Priest, Fr. Chinua Okeke, is welcoming of all people. His support of our school

community is much appreciated on both the spiritual and personal level.

It is a privilege to work within such a supportive school community. Staff, parents and

students continue to face challenges and support one another as life-long learners who

live by our school’s motto : “Let Your Light Shine.”

Gayle Connor PRINCIPAL.



Education in Faith

Goals & Intended Outcomes

To develop and support St. Dominic’s as a strong Catholic community.

To ensure that Religious Education is the centre of the curriculum.

To develop stronger links between Parish, Families and School.

That staff know, value and live the Gospel values in the Catholic tradition.

That the Catholic culture profile be maintained and developed throughout the community.

Achievements

There continues to be an upward trend from the staff responses to the Catholic Culture

survey from 2014-2015. This has been mirrored in the increased connections made

between the RE framework and other areas of the curriculum, and opportunities

provided to reflect on our faith.

The Catholic Culture data indicates that staff, students and parents acknowledge the

opportunities provided to develop their spirituality with all scores being in the top 25% of

Victorian schools (staff 92%, students 96% and parents 96%).

VALUE ADDED

School staff have had many opportunities to develop their own spirituality through

prayer, meditation and personal reflection. All Professional Learning sessions for staff

begin with collaborative prayer, where staff work together to plan and conduct prayer

based on a piece of scripture. Opportunities such as the bi-annual spirituality retreat in

addition to school closure days with guest speakers such as Paul Spence have also

provided experiences for staff to reflect on a deeper level. St. Dominic’s continues to

have a strong link with Penola Catholic College and occasions such as the Penola

Partnerships gathering assist staff to deepen their understanding of what it means to

work in a Catholic school setting.

The Religious Education program at St. Dominic’s from Prep-6 utilises the To Know,

Worship and Love program and draws upon the richness of the Principles of Catholic

Social Teaching to teach students about the Church’s mission. Staff work together to

plan units of work and students have the opportunity for daily prayer and to attend year

level masses and whole school masses. The school Sacramental program works

alongside the Parish program to enhance knowledge of the Catholic faith through

parent workshops and Sacramental meetings.

Initiatives such as Breakfast Club, Learning Club, Project Compassion and Caritas

workshops have helped to develop student understanding of the importance of social

justice in a Catholic school setting.



Links and connections have been made between Religious Education and other areas

of the curriculum, with contemporary Teaching and Learning tools being used in all

areas of learning. Staff based professional learning sessions are held throughout the

term with teachers exploring tools and strategies to be used to enhance the Catholic

Identity of the school. The Religious Education Leader has modelled effective

strategies that can be used in a Religious Education lesson such as echo mimes and

godly play.

The rich prayer life of the school has been further enhanced by its rich Catholic culture

and we continue to be grateful to our Parish Priest for being so supportive of the

school. He is visible within the school community; and attends a staff Professional

Learning session once a term and helps to prepare students when receiving

sacraments. Each classroom has a dedicated prayer space and all classes begin the

day with prayer. Meditation and mindfulness have been introduced as tools for personal

reflection at a deeper level.



Learning & Teaching


To have high expectations for student learning.

To develop and implement specific child-centred teaching and learning experiences to support learning and the learning needs of each individual.

That there is continued improvement in all assessment data

That there is an upward trend in improvement in literacy and numeracy outcomes in years Prep-6.

That purposeful teaching and stimulating learning improves.

Achievements

At St Dominic’s the staff have high expectations for all students and consider all students

to be ‘students of promise’. They hold a shared belief that engagement is central to

learning and they are working towards developing a sense of curiosity and wonder in all

the students. In each level, Inquiry Units culminate with student led actions, based on

the questions and interests of the students in each class.

Teachers plan weekly in teams and curriculum leaders are timetabled to facilitate

planning. The focus of these meeting is to analyse student data to drive teaching.

Technology tools are used across the school to support and enhance engagement and

in all areas of learning.

During 2015

All AusVel and Religious Education domains have been reported on over the year.

The timing of Professional Learning meetings was changed to team planning times. This

enabled level teams to work with curriculum leaders to identify needs and implement tailored

learning strategies.

We continued to embed EAL strategies, drawing on the context of ‘Addressing the Needs of

Refugee Students’.

Through the planning design and implementation of EAL based individual learning plans and

the EAL reporting format, all children continued to be supported in achieving success in the

classroom.

Literacy learning in P -2 continued to incorporate Reading Recovery strategies in mainstream

classrooms. Links between reading and writing were strengthened by deepened

understanding of the role of oral language in developing literacy skills.

Classroom teachers were provided with the opportunity to observe reading recovery and LLI

sessions in order to align their teacher talk to the specific needs of their students.



‘Reading to Learn’ continued to be implemented in years 3 to 6. Six teachers have completed

training in the program.

An upward trend in Reading and Writing was evident in year 5 NAPLAN data, with significant

increases from 2014 to 2015 in Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation and Numeracy. However a

downward trend in Year 3 Reading, Writing, Spelling and Numeracy was noted, while the writing

data was consistent with the previous year.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

We continue to identify the challenges and support students in their learning. We identify and put into place explicit and targeted teaching throughout the year. Changing student cohorts does impact on results, but we recognize that NAPLAN is one form of data collection. NAPLAN data was thoroughly analysed with all the staff and used to determine foci for whole class and small group work to identify children at risk. This enables targeted learning instruction.



Student Wellbeing


To enhance student wellbeing through the provision of an inclusive, supportive and safe environment.

That the wellbeing of all students be enhanced through the development of self-awareness, responsible decision making, relationship skills, social awareness and self management, resilience and organization skills.

Achievements

St Dominic’s has continued to make strong gains in the area of Student Wellbeing. School staff

are aware of the importance of teaching Social Emotional Learning to students, and there is a

strong emphasis on developing resilience and social skills throughout the school with formal

social skills lessons taught as a specialist subject from Prep-2 and with teachers from years 3-6

integrating these valuable skills into all lessons. These programs include:

Circle Time (All Classes)

Stop/Think/Do,

Bounce Back

Restorative Practices

Student Wellbeing at St. Dominic’s recognises the importance of building positive relationships

at St. Dominic’s with the Student Wellbeing Leader being a valued member of the School

Leadership team who also has the opportunity to facilitate professional learning with staff each

term. The Deputy Principal has also completed a Masters of Education (Student Wellbeing in

Inclusive Schooling)

The school has also been part of a Family Schools Partnership cluster with other local schools,

whereby this cluster leader also helped to build upon school staff knowledge of the importance

of working in collaboration with families. The Student Wellbeing Leader is an active participant

in the Student Wellbeing Cluster and also attends Professional Learning opportunities from

Catholic Education Melbourne (CEM).

Classroom teachers also devise detailed Individual Learning Plans (ILPs) for students requiring

modification to teaching programs and Program Support Group meetings (PSGs) are also held

for these students who may receive funding from Catholic Education Melbourne and also for

non-funded students.

Teachers have worked hard to build a culture of inclusivity, tolerance and respect with the

school rules and social expectations being revisited each year. Positive behaviour is rewarded

with teachers using incentives such as stickers, house points, class rewards and awarding a

student of the week each week at assembly.

The introduction of a formal Better Buddy Program (Alannah and Madeline Foundation) for

Preps and Year 5s has seen an emphasis on developing cross school relationships between

students. St. Dominic’s has also aligned their practice with current health policies and creating

healthy environments e.g. Fruit Snack time provided for all year levels, healthy food at the

Snack Bar and Breakfast Club twice per week.



Parents are expected to let the school know when a child is absent, and we follow up with

parents on students who are absent or continually late. After two days on non attendance

with no notification, the classroom teacher will contact the parent.

VALUE ADDED

St. Dominic’s School has a high focus on developing a positive and inclusive community with

various functions and activities taking place throughout the school year including:

Building Community Week,

Harmony Day

Family Week

A get to know you Family Picnic taking the place of formal parent teacher interviews

at the beginning of the year

Mother’s Day Dinner (2015)

International Woman’s Day Dinner.

The St. Dominic’s Dad’s group

Strong support is given to New Arrival families at St. Dominic’s with the provision of

interpreters both orally and written for families who require this help.

In 2015 there was a whole school circus program which promoted the ideas of risk taking,

perseverance and working in a team. This formal program culminated in a performance to

celebrate student talent and was a highlight of the year. Students at St. Dominic’s participate

in Anti-Bullying activities and Programs learning about online and being part of the National

Day Against Bullying on 20th March.

One pleasing aspect of our School Wellbeing program is that we have engaged the services

of Healing Minds Psychology, whereby students are eligible to receive access to 6-10 bulk-

billed (free) counselling sessions per year. This program has seen more students be able to

receive access to these sessions which include information about developing social skills,

coping strategies and targeted programs.

All school staff are first aid and anaphylaxis trained with all staff being placed on the First Aid

roster. All staff complete compulsory training about Mandatory Reporting on an annual basis.

Student leadership is an important aspect of our wellbeing program and practices with all

Year 6 students having a leadership position and set tasks to complete. This helps students

to develop their own sense of responsibility and teamwork. Students from Year 6 also

participate in School Camp.

There are many extra-curricular activities available to students at St Dominic’s including

Learning Club, Kelly Sports, Tennis lessons, music lessons and karate. These help to

promote the importance of physical activity.

Staff at St. Dominic’s have worked to develop a good transition program with a formal and

comprehensive Pre-Prep Program being offered in addition to open lines of communication



for all students moving on to secondary school. The school is also well-resourced with

students receiving access to high quality resources to improve learning outcomes.

Future Actions:

and resourcing.

STUDENT SATISFACTION

Students reported that they have a sense of belonging in the school. They are motivated to

learn. While their connectedness to school is rated at 92%, the emotional wellbeing of our

students is targeted as a priority to support their learning. While students are motivated to

learn, and their engagement in learning indicators is remaining stable, we are aware that

significant trauma has impacted on many families, and ongoing support is sort to ensure their

feeling safe and secure so that they can truly demonstrate their learning capabilities.



Leadership & Management


To further develop a professional community of learners that is characterised by shared vision, a strong sense of teamwork and a focus on continuous improvement of student learning.

That engagement and role clarity of staff improves

That a greater understanding of shared leadership is developed

Achievements

The current model of shared instructional leadership has engendered enthusiasm and a

sense of empowerment amongst staff. Upward trends from 2014-2015 in empowerment,

ownership, appraisal and recognition support the belief that all members of staff feel

valued and are integral to the St Dominic’s learning community. We continue to develop

a culture of a shared understanding of responsibility for all students.

where opportunities are provided for families to build relationships and make

connections. The school is viewed as a meeting place for many families who are new to

the country and who require practical assistance and support.

The Parents and Friends Association continues to support the school through various

fundraising events. The annual Easter raffle, Mother’s Day luncheon and Father’s Day

Breakfast, and weekly snack bar sales have provided not only financial support for much

needed resources, but they have also provided the opportunity for parents to gather

together and share ideas.

The School Advisory Board has continued to play a significant role and was involved in ongoing

discussions in relation to the School Master Plan and the ongoing application of Capital Grants

for proposed developments. Through inclusion in the National Schools Partnership Program, St

Dominic’s has been able to offer a number of community based initiatives and the on-going

appointment of a Family School Partnerships convener (National Partnerships funding) has

helped in the selection and coordination of activities.

The National Partnership Family School Partnership Leader and the Hub coordinator continue

The information provided above does not include system levies charged to individual schools, intra-systemic transfers and, for primary schools, the diocesan supplementary capital fund supporting primary schools’ capital borrowings. The information provided in this VRQA template is not comparable with other educational sectors or to ACARA school-level income reports displayed on the MySchool website. ACARA school level reporting requires system level income from Government grants and some private income to be allocated to each school resulting in a small adjustment to the total level of school resources. Currently, recurrent income from Government sources, school generated income and capital expenditure are reported by schools. When assessing the private income of the school, both recurrent and capital school fees are included.



Future Directions

In 2016 the journey continues. We will continue to focus on improved student engagement

and learning outcomes. Teaching and Learning remains at the core. We will be

committed to building the leadership capacity of all staff, students and parents through

opportunities provided at both educational and recreational levels. Technology resources

and professional learning will be paramount to support Contemporary Learning. Students

will become more actively engaged in Google Classrooms, and with the introduction of

chrome books to support the learning in years 5 and 6, students will have the opportunity

to engage in school/home sharing of learning. We will continue to provide the resources

to support increased parent engagement and for the school to engage with the wider

community. With the financial support of The Scanlon Foundation, we will continue to

provide many opportunities for our parent community to be involved with learning

initiatives. This will be co-ordinated by our Community Hub Coordinator, and support by

our Family School Partnerships Cluster Engagement Leader. The St. Dominic’s

Community Learning Centre provides a venue for further parent engagement

opportunities. Further work will continue on making our school grounds a place of welcome.

The Administration area is to be refurbished. A meeting room, Deputy Principal’s office,

Finance office to be developed, as well as a welcoming and more practical school office

entrance area.

With a team of committed and dedicated staff, parents and students we will continue to

live our motto: “LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE”.
