Context

Founded in 1873 by the Presentation Sisters, PCW Melbourne is a Catholic school for young women. We remain faithful to the spirit of the Presentation Sisters who are called to encounter God in the heart of the world. We seek to continue the mission of Jesus in the spirit of Nano Nagle. College Crest and Motto The school Crest dates back to 1914 and was the work of Mother Stanislaus McCarthy, Principal of the school at the time.

The central letters PCW stand for Presentation College Windsor. They are surrounded by leaves which are a symbol of life, growth and hope, characteristics of education. These leaves lead to the Cross being Christianity and the Resurrected Christ. Beneath is the school motto: Omnia Cum Deo. Everything for God.



College Mission & Vision Statement



College Overview

PCW Melbourne is a Years 7‐12 girls’ school owned by the Presentation Sisters Victoria (Members of the Company) and governed by an incorporated Board of Directors (Corporations Act). The College community is ethnically, socio‐economically and religiously diverse, reflecting the contemporary Australia this generation of young people will lead ‐ internationally connected, open and tolerant, interested in excellence and innovation. The College promotes respect for government and the rule of law and is guided by the Melbourne Declaration (2008) on the National Goals of Schooling. The College was founded in 1873 by a group of seven Irish Sisters who came to Melbourne from Limerick in response to a request from the local Parish Priest in the aftermath of the 1872 Education Act. It is the second oldest Catholic girls’ school in Victoria. The Presentation Sisters’ founder, Nano Nagle, known as ‘the woman of welcoming heart’, was a brave, innovative activist for social justice whose vision of education as the most powerful liberating force for the poor and powerless infuses the Congregation’s mission ‐ now absorbed by the school. Both these elements of the school’s story provide a rich, enlivening context in which to offer education to girls and are central to PCW’s religious, cultural and social life. PCW Melbourne is a Catholic school which celebrates our multi‐cultural and multi‐faith community and welcomes all to come together to rejoice in 'our presentation'. The pervasive educational energy at PCW is driven by outstanding staff and energetic students. However, this is only part of the picture which is complemented by integration with the wider community: parents and families, Stonnington Council, Melbourne, Monash and Swinburne Universities, the Sacred Heart Mission and many more. At PCW Melbourne student learning, engagement and achievement drives all planning, programs and the commitment to learning for all is genuine. Students are offered a very wide range of studies and all are encouraged to complete six years of secondary school. This six year commitment to each student is reflected in the wide range of programs offered including 35 VCE studies (in conjunction with CBC St Kilda), a vibrant VCAL program, strong links with VET providers, an extensive learning support program, and targeted programs for high achievers. It is our goal at PCW for all students to find what they are good at and to have experiences of success. PCW Melbourne is strongly committed to providing each student with the opportunity to experience success and to achieve to the best of her potential. The results of the 2015 class reflect this commitment, together with the efforts of the students and their dedicated teachers. The results continue a clear pattern over the last decade with over 80% of our student cohort receiving an ATAR score in the top half of the state and nearly 55% scoring in the top third of the state. Course selection is also a crucial part of this process. The effectiveness of the Subject Selection and Careers Program at PCW is indicated by the percentage of students being offered their first preference and the range of courses adopted. Approximately 40% of our students applying for a tertiary course received their 1st preference. Over 80 % received an offer from their top 3 preferences.



Principal’s Report

Welcome to the Annual Report for Presentation College Windsor (PCW Melbourne) for 2015. The Annual Report is a requirement of the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA). The report incorporates all of the Australian and Victorian Government compliance items and is placed on the Victorian State Register. The Annual Report also fulfils requirements of the Catholic Education Office Melbourne (CEOM) to report on the School Improvement Framework (SIF). The 2015 school year was full of new initiatives and outstanding achievements which you will find details of in this report. All Presentation people here at PCW Melbourne are inspired by the courage and vision of our founders and pray that, like them, we might be stirred by 'life's insistent cry, the Spirit's voice'. There is evidence of this everywhere in the work of staff and students. An increased focus on our international links in 2015 saw the continued growth of our International student program, two study tour visits to schools in Japan and Italy, and the expansion of our exchange student program from Japan, China, Italy and France. At a local level, links with our neighbouring primary schools were extended in the Bright Sparks program where Year 5 and 6 students from five local schools worked with Year 9 students in a STEM project, a creative arts project, writing and performance project and a Girls in Sport project. The Report is presented in five sections consistent with the SIF: • Education in Faith • Learning and Teaching • Student Wellbeing • Leadership and Management • College Community The goals set by the College in each of those areas for 2015 are listed and a summary of achievements in each area is provided. Federal and State Government compliance reporting is provided as follows: Federal Government • Staff attendance • Staff retention • Teacher qualifications • Expenditure and teacher participation in professional learning • Student attendance • Proportion of students meeting national minimum standards at Years 7 and 9 • Changes in national minimum standard results at Years 7 and 9 • Value added • Median NAPLAN results for Year 9 • Senior secondary outcomes • Year 9–Year 12 student retention • Post‐school destinations • Parent, teacher and student satisfaction



Victorian Government Information about a school’s performance must be provided to the school community including those as identified by the Australian Government as well as: • A description and analysis of student learning outcomes on state wide tests for the current year and for the previous two years • A report of the school’s financial activities The Annual Report for PCW Melbourne for 2015 indicates that the College continues to perform at a higher than average standard on all SIF measures and has made significant improvements in a number of areas in the last year. Notable achievements include:

Applying to become an IB Candidate school for the Middle Years Program (MYP)

Increasing our Cricos Registration to fifty

Preparation for the implementation of a GSV readiness program

Appointment of a new principal commencing in 2016

Launch of Women of Windsor (WOW) formerly known as the Alumnae The Report also includes information on a range of new programs and continued success in a number of areas of school development. The range of data and information provided in the Report reflects the variety of measures of achievement and improvement which apply to contemporary schooling and these are consistent with the mission of the College and of the Presentation Sisters as well as the Goals of the Melbourne Declaration, 2008. I hope that you find the Annual Report informative and interesting. Please do not hesitate to contact the College regarding any aspect of the Report.

Filina Virgato Principal



College Board Report

The College is an incorporated company limited by guarantee (Corporations Act). In 2015, The College Board comprised seven Directors including one Presentation Sister. The Presentation Sisters’ role in the life of the school continues to be critical to its ongoing health and wellbeing. The Sisters own the school and the Leadership Team of the Congregation are the Members of the Company. The school is governed by the Board of Directors on their behalf. The presence of the Sisters and Directors at many College events means a great deal to staff and especially to students. All Directors bring specialised expertise which they contribute generously: spiritual, legal, financial, marketing, educational, corporate, building and planning. Without this, much of what has been achieved in recent years would not have been possible and the College is extremely grateful and appreciative of the time and energy these busy people devote to our school. The personal support provided by the Board to the Principal and the Leadership Team is also greatly appreciated. The contribution of all Board members in 2015 was outstanding with additional involvement by all Directors outside the monthly meetings. Directors participated in the Presentation Sisters Formation Program and attended many College events such as the Music Festival, Welcome Mass, Simply Sharing Mass, College Musical and Presentation Day celebrations. In 2015 we welcomed a new Chair of the Board – Michaela Moloney. Michaela is a past student of PCW and is a Partner at KL Gates Law firm. The College Board of Directors in 2015 is as follows:

Michaela Moloney (Chair) Ms Regina Crameri (Vice Chair) Joan Marshall pbvm Mr Bert Quan Ms Victoria Myers Ms Lisa Deramond Mr David Alcock Executive Board members: Leonie Keaney, CEO (Principal) Stephen O’Shea, Company Secretary Trish Chester, Board Secretary Key achievements and developments for the year include:

1. Appointment of new Principal for 2016 2. Leadership Formation Day with the College Leadership Team 3. Participation in Presentation Sisters Formation Program



Education in Faith

Goals

To strengthen PCW Melbourne as a faith community, grounded in the Catholic traditions and guided by the charism of the Presentation Sisters and the teachings of Nano Nagle.

Intended Outcomes

That students will recognise the importance of faith and how it is lived out in their everyday lives.

That students and staff will have more opportunities for expressions of faith.

That students and staff will value more strongly working / learning in a Catholic community.

VALUE ADDED

Conclusion of 140th Anniversary celebrations

Theological formation of all staff across a number of areas including Scripture, Christology, and Missology

Staff participated in the national Presentation Schools Staff Conference held in Melbourne in 2015

Clear linking of all works of justice with the Gospel

Formalisation of all liturgical expression and experience

Achievements

During 2015 the College Mission Team has continued to understand and explore the recommendations of the Enhancing Catholic Schools Identity Project conducted by the Catholic University of Leuven. One of the main directions from this data was to explicitly link our work to that of the Gospel and to continue to form students enriched in their own tradition and their encounter and share their world with others. This has led to an audit of all Religious Education curriculum documentation and the planning of staff professional learning about this project and its data in lay terms.



Learning & Teaching

Goals

As a Catholic school guided by the charism of the Presentation Sisters and as a learning community with a deep respect for intellectual values, we seek to enable girls to discover their gifts and pursue their passions to achieve personal growth.

Intended Outcomes

That student learning outcomes in all domains will continue to improve.

To improve the Value Added outcomes for VCE results

To improve student engagement and purposeful teaching data

Achievements

Achieving a GPA of 9.5 (95%) or above in all studies across the semester. This was an increase of 15% from 2014

The Bright Sparks Program launched at PCW Melbourne in 2014 was expanded in 2015 to offer 3

programs. Staff used 2015 as a Year of Review to complete a coordinated project to undertake a

comprehensive look at existing programs, evaluate both opportunities and challenges, and to assess/recommend future directions. It was important that the review was conducted in a timely manner and included participation from students, staff, parents and the wider community in recognition of the shared responsibility for continued success. A coordinated review process enabled the College to pursue exciting new paths of inquiry and discovery, while also sustaining excellence in each area. This has led to a number of renewed and new initiatives for 2016.

PCW Melbourne applied and was accepted as a candidate school* for the Middle Years

International Baccalaureate Programme. The International Baccalaureate® (IB) offers a continuum of international education. It encourages both personal and academic achievement, challenging students to excel in their studies and in their personal development.



The Bright Sparks Program launched at PCW Melbourne in 2014 was expanded in 2015 to offer 3 programs:

Bright Sparks: Seven Sisters

The foundation for this program is a cross curricular perspective addressing the areas of Literacy, Critical & Creative Thinking, ICT and Intercultural Understanding. Bright Sparks: STEM

The foundation for this program is Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Bright Sparks: Health and Fitness

The foundation for this program is health and physical education where a group of Primary School students had the opportunity to work with Year 10 PCW Melbourne students in a sports program developing physical, personal and social capabilities.

Each of the above programs was designed to create learning partnerships supporting inter‐disciplinary learning and building leadership capacity.

Year 8 Mini Masters Program continued with the introduction of a Science in Theatre Unit.

Students participated in Language and Cultural Tours to Italy and Japan.

The Humanities and Science Department co‐hosted the inaugural PCW Melbourne Model UN Conference, this was an initiative developed in response to student participation in the MUN Youth Conference as a part of the MEL‐SING Flyer Program.

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

An explanation about the changes in NAPLAN data over the 3 years 2013, 2014 and 2015.

In 2015 students achieved close to, above or substantially above All Australian schools’ average in the NAPLAN dimensions. Persuasive Writing was substantially above the All Australian schools’ average for Year 7 and above for this dimension in Year 9. This was similar to the 2014 and 2013 data. The 2015 NAPLAN Report indicates that a minimum of 96% of the Year 7 cohort is meeting minimum standards for all dimensions. With 100% meeting the minimum standard in Numeracy and 99% in Writing. At least 95% of the Year 9 cohort were meeting the minimum standards for all dimensions. The proportion of Year 9 students meeting these standards between 2014‐2015 improved in the area of Numeracy, with other dimensions remaining relatively consistent. This was compared to a more marked variation in Reading and Writing between 2013‐2014. The NAPLAN data along with “live” Assessment and Reporting, provided to students and parents via the College Portal, along with student Grade Point Averages (GPA) are used to support the review and development of teaching and learning programs within the school. This data enables staff, students and parents to monitor student achievement over time and set academic targets and learning goals. It also enables the College to identify students requiring additional support and/or enhancement. Student Learning Outcomes are also used as one of the indicators used for Student Pathway Planning for both subject and course selection.



Student Wellbeing

Goals & Intended Outcomes

To further develop a school wide approach to student wellbeing that is characterised by high expectations, student engagement in and ownership of their learning and responsibility for self.


That student morale will improve.

That student engagement in learning will improve, especially 'learning confidence'.

That there will be a greater student voice both within and outside the classroom, including participation in decision‐making.

Achievements

Programs to support wellbeing and connectedness at the College are intended to strengthen the safe and supportive environment for a student, which contributes to positive learning outcomes and wellbeing. The development of the Positive Education Program, tailored to each year level, explored growth mind‐sets as well as a range of other strategies to improve morale and student confidence. The score for student behaviour (SIF student survey) continues to sit in the top quartile and is a clear strength in the data. This is consistent for staff and parent scores. Classroom behaviour and student safety are strengths in the data, the findings corroborated in discussions with staff, students and parents in the focus groups. The Behaviour Management Policy provides clear expectations and consequences that are realistic and manageable.

A description of how non‐attendance is managed by the school.

Parents who have not contacted the College regarding their daughter’s absence will receive a College generated SMS message.

Homeroom teachers contact home if the student is absent for a second day and there has been no contact from home.

Students who are late on three occasions receive an afternoon detention. Parents notified.

Students who begin to demonstrate a pattern of non‐attendance are highlighted and parent meetings scheduled.

The College Portal alerts teachers as soon as a student has missed three classes.

The College Portal also provides a report to parents, students and teachers on attendance patterns.



VALUE ADDED

Student participation in school programs beyond the classroom is recognized as a significant contributor to connectedness and sense of belonging. The excellent results from the SIF student surveys on these measures for PCW are indicative of the range and quality of activities which students have access to and which add value to their school experience. Assemblies are held to celebrate student achievement and share College and individual student participation in a range of events. These occur in year levels and in Houses where a strong sense of identification with the group is developed. Sporting activities throughout the year extend opportunities to all students to participate – from elite level to beginners in a range of sports. Competition occurs at the school level – inter house (Swimming, Athletics) inter class, staff/students etc – and at inter school level where eleven sports are offered through the SCSA. In July each year, the College participates in the International Waverley Netball Competition. Key events which extend the classroom program and give individual students with particular skills and talents deeper learning experiences include:

The Science Expo where Year 10 students demonstrate a range of experiments and offer a

scientific explanation for outcomes

The Annual Art Show in September showcasing the work completed in classes throughout

the year and includes the judging of the Annual Art prize

The Writers Collective provides additional opportunities for keen writers along with the biennial Writer in Residence program and annual contribution to the Shared Stories project

DAV Debating, the Social Justice Group, the Environmental Group, and the Stonnington Primary School and St Mary’s Primary School volunteer programs give students interests in

engaging with others and their world additional opportunities

The Bright Sparks Program further develops the relationship between primary and secondary students. Year 9 students take up leadership roles and work closely with students from a range of primary schools to explore key ideas in Art/Literacy, STEM and Sport

Leadership is prominent throughout the school with class, year level and House leadership roles as well as Peer Support and Music, Sports, Liturgy, Social Justice and Environment

Captains roles. All are supported with training and mentoring throughout the year

New House banners were developed with the input of students to reflect connectedness with House Spirit

Students are able to participate in overseas trips to Italy, Japan, Vietnam, Singapore and India. Each trip runs every two years and extends the study of language, art and social justice.

STUDENT SATISFACTION

The score for student behaviour and safety (SIF student survey) remains in the top quartile and a clear strength in the data. Students speak of the school as a safe and secure place to be. Their involvement in leadership and representation through the SRC ensures that student voice is a key feature of the decision‐making process in the College. Student initiatives are encouraged and supported.



Leadership & Management


As a Catholic school, in the tradition and charism of the Presentation Sisters, PCW seeks to grow and develop leadership and management based on responsibility, empowerment and mutual respect.

Achievements

Build on the culture of collaboration, creativity and innovative practice, characterised by accountable and active leaders and teachers who empower each other and their colleagues.

The focus of work in the area of leadership and management has been to continue to build leadership capacity across the school for staff and for students. Key goals in 2015 which were achieved included: Throughout 2015, the College Board, the Leadership Team, members of staff and students have listened, talked and planned. The result of this contemplation and labour is the 2015‐2018 Strategic Statement, the statement of our heart. Based in our faith and the Presentation charism, the statement calls us to Mission, Stewardship, Learning and Citizenship. Staff participated in a number of Professional Learning opportunities locally, nationally and internationally. The Professional Learning Project extended into its 7th year with all teaching staff participating in professional observation and feedback. The PLP continues to address the AITSL standards and to provide a foundation for the ARM process.

To ensure PCW Melbourne is a school of choice.

Achievements

Increased participation of parents in the Parent Association and a highly successful fundraising program to support the Music Faculty (in particular, the Band Room).

Re‐launch of our Alumnae to ‘Women of Windsor’

VALUE ADDED

The College provides students with a very wide range of opportunities both in and out of the classroom as a part of the commitment to success for all. In 2015, the Music Festival at Hamer Hall was once again a spectacular success involving a very high numbers of students. This event is superbly led by our student Music Captains. Many students were also involved in the PCW / CBC production of High School Musical in September. Other Music events during the year included the annual Music Camp in Phillip Island which was well attended. This culminated in the Music Showcase which was again held at Glen Eira Town Hall. The standard of music at this event is excellent and gives our students the opportunity to perform in a high class venue with the proper facilities. Art, like the Music Department has a wide range of activities for students. Our Year 11 and 12 Art students travelled to Hobart to visit MONA and work from all areas of the Art curriculum was displayed in the annual Art Show in September – wonderful to see so much of our student work displayed. In 2015 we also had two students honoured by the CEO (Catholic Education Office) for their work. The cultural immersion trips to Italy and India took place in November, senior students from PCW and CBC travelled to Italy and our Year 10 and 9 students to Japan. 2015 also saw the Year 9 Winter Sleepout raise funds and awareness for the underprivileged in our society. The Year 9 Academic year ended with the inaugural Year 9 Awards. ‘Care Monkey’ was introduced – an online system for medical information and permission forms.



In 2015 the National Conference of NEAA (Nagle Education Alliance of Australia) was held. 38 Presentation schools were represented and students from our school and other schools in Melbourne participated in sections of the conference. We also saw the exploration of the GSV (Girls Sport Victoria) and the IB (International Baccaularete) programs. There were Science and Engineering projects, language competitions, Maths, spelling and public speaking contests, dramatic performances, rosters at the Sacred Heart Mission, Ballroom and Bush dancing. At the end of the year, a combined Christmas Carols concert was held in the gardens of PCW with students and families from St Mary's Primary School, CBC St Kilda and PCW Melbourne. In the last months of the year there were a number of varied functions for both staff and students to acknowledge the work of Ms Leonie Keaney who was leaving PCW after 12 years. Leonie was thanked and acknowledged by students, staff, Parent Association, Alumnae and Board of Directors.

PARENT SATISFACTION

There is a real community feel in the school. The parent SIF data is strong and is affirming of the school’s performance which is heartening to see.

Parents were asked to respond to questions relating to learning, extra‐curricular, homework, connectedness to school, student motivation, social skills, student safety, approachability with teachers, reporting, teacher morale, classroom behaviour amongst others.

Responses included:

93.3% of parents thought that academic standards at PCW Melbourne provide adequate challenges for their child 90% respondents indicated that they believed there is good two‐way communication between the staff and parents at school and 100% of respondents indicated they were very comfortable approaching the school with any concerns 86.7% said the school encouraged the parents to have a say in planning for the future 90% indicated that our reporting system gives them a good understanding of how their child is progressing at school

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.
