The College community can be proud of both review processes that acknowledged thehigh level of engagement of staff, students and parents with our current Business Plan.It was noted by both review teams that Joseph Banks Secondary College has set thepre-conditions for an environment in which students will be able to flourish. The reviewteam for the Independent Public School Review, Lindsay Usher and Donelle Church,wrote in their concluding remarks:

2018 was a year that saw Joseph BanksSecondary College reach a point ofconsolidation. The rigorous self-evaluation that wasconducted at the end of 2017 provided ablueprint of strategies that were implementedthroughout the year. Most importantly, in thefirst few weeks of 2018, the College underwenttwo reviews. Our College was one of the lastschools to experience the Independent PublicSchool Review process. Shortly after thisreview was completed, the College underwentthe new Public School Review process as atrial school. Our commitment to this process was to informsystem use of Public Review for theDepartment of Education.

Semester 1

Semester 2

In 2017 the following changes were identified as necessary to shift a perception thatbehaviour and well-being were declining in the College. All initiatives were introduced in2018 and proved successful in changing the overall tone of the College. One data setthat changed significantly as a result of these initiatives was our suspension rates whichreduced by 3%.

A fourth middle school learning community was created.Three Youth Support Workers were employed to develop and create positivesystems for pastoral care within the college.A fourth Deputy Principal was employed as an Impact Analyst. A key function of thisrole is to work collaboratively with Leading Teachers to ensure that data is beingproactively monitored to support student learning, a positive learning environment,and well-being.A comprehensive pastoral care program was developed. This program was aimed atreducing the opportunity for bullying or negative behaviour to occur, while at thesame time increasing the opportunity for positive behaviours to be evident andprolific. The Well-Being Warriors team came into existence as part of this program,and the team is now an integral part of the College.Parents were invited to participate in a Parent Working Party to contribute to findingsolutions to issues that are identified by students, staff or parents

A large percentage of students continue to meet the requirement on first attempt in Year10 with +28% for Numeracy the lowest of the three components. Significant gains wereagain achieved by the end of Year 10 for our 2018 Year 10 students. In 2018, our Year 11 student data for OLNA continued to improve, indicating our targetof +90% of students in Year 12, 2019 meeting the WACE Literacy and Numeracyrequirements for WACE Graduation is within reach.
