As newly appointed Principal of the Communicare Academy
for 2018, I take this opportunity to acknowledge the efforts
of the previous Principal Gigi Thiele. The restructure of
leadership roles for 2018, around Curriculum, Behaviour
Management and Wellbeing, will further strengthen the
learning and support for students. I have been extremely
impressed by the enthusiasm and dedication of staff
and I look forward working with, and leading the
school community along the next phase of our journey.
Yours sincerely,
Mario Tufilli,
Principal
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Communicare Inc. is a dynamic not-for-profit organisation
established in 1977. Over the years, Communicare has
distinguished itself as a provider and innovator of
services, as well as an advocate to enhance social and
economic inclusion.
The Communicare Academy is a Curriculum and Re-
Engagement with Education (CaRE) School and therefore
offers an alternative style of schooling. Our students have
been referred to us from agencies and service
providers. Our focus is to draw young people back into
education, and to work with them in addressing the
barriers which have caused them to disengage from
education, family or community. The core business of
the Communicare Academy is to work with our
young people to understand and redress their barriers
and assist them in building the skills necessary to re-
engage with their education and make positive
decisions for their future pathway options.
With our commitment to continuous improvement we have
worked hard to improve on our Student Wellbeing during
the 2017 school year. The Wellbeing program is
something our staff have been developing since we
started in 2014 and has taken on many forms during this
time. We acknowledge that Wellbeing has to be at the
foundation of everything we do in order to re-engage our
students. Our 2016 stakeholder surveys noted that
Wellbeing was a concern for both students and
parents/guardians alike, so it is great news that we have
seen a vast improvement in this area during the 2017
school year.
Thank you to all of our stakeholders and supporters.
In particular Shalom House who have supported not just
our Boys’ Wellbeing Program but also our Trade
curriculum, Scouts WA, White Ribbon Australia, Canning
River Canoe Club, Equus Bonding, and the Association of
Independent Schools of WA (AISWA) who have assisted us
in delivering a varied and engaging curriculum in 2017. We
would also like to thank the various local businesses who
have supported us by offering work experience
placements in 2017, especially Superior Screens who have
provided multiple opportunities to our students over the
past three years.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM 2017
We had many high points throughout 2017 but the following
were particularly special:
• Six of our students achieved their Bronze Level Duke
of Edinburgh Award. This was the culmination of two
years’ hard work and commitment and both the staff
and students are proud of their achievement. This
internationally recognised youth award will show future
employers that those students have demonstrated a
high level of motivation and commitment to developing
new skills and working with others.
• During 2016 we began the process of registering as a
White Ribbon School. The program aims to provide
schools with curriculum to break the cycle of Family
and Domestic Violence as well as equip staff with the
correct process to respond to student disclosures. In
2017, we completed our application after meeting all
the requirements and we will be officially awarded our
accreditation in early 2018.
• Our students participated in numerous training
opportunities, such as a Barista qualification through
the Hospitality program and others achieved their entry
level sailing qualification through Outdoor Education.
• The introduction of a Certificate I in Hospitality was a
popular and successful choice for students. Six students
received their Certificate I in Hospitality and one student
received a statement of attainment.
EVENTS
2017 saw the introduction of our very first whole school
Wellbeing Day. Student and Staff Wellbeing has always
been a major focus of the Communicare Academy as we
know that our students will learn better if they are feeling
safe and well. Laura, our Student and Staff Wellbeing Leader,
developed the program for our Wellbeing Days as a way of
incorporating our Wellbeing Program and a whole
school activity to create a day focused on bringing the
Communicare Academy together. On the day the
students have the chance to look around booths
containing information on a range of mental health and
wellbeing topics, followed by some wellbeing focused
activities, and the popular whole school activity where
the House Teams (Courage, Allegiance, Wisdom, and Spirit)
compete for House points. The Wellbeing Days were
hugely successful and something that we will
continue running in future.
As part of our White Ribbon accreditation process we
have continued our participation in the City of Armadale’s
Silent March. Ten students and four staff members
attended the march through Jull Street alongside survivors
of Family and Domestic Violence, Police and other
emergency service officers, FDV advocacy groups, and
police cadets. As part of the ceremony our students were
invited to speak on the importance of FDV prevention and
the impact FDV has on youth. Two of our male students
spoke to the crowd and were congratulated on their
speaking.
During Term Four we held our second formal. Our
inaugural formal was a flying success in 2017 and the Student
Leaders were more than happy to organise a second in 2017.
The formal offers our students the opportunity to participate
in an event that is often seen as an integral part of high
school life. The year 10-12 students were invited to attend
and, supervised by staff, had a fantastic evening of dancing
and fine food.

CAMPS/EXCURSIONS
The female Wellbeing program held their second sleepover during 2017 and it was, yet again, a resounding success. The
sleepover is held in the school and the girls complete a variety of team activities before enjoying a traditional sleepover
experience. This camp is a fantastic opportunity for our female students to bond and also build relationships with female
staff.
Our Outdoor Education program had another fantastic year with the students learning to sail. Every week the students
participated in formal sailing lessons before going down to Vasse in Term Four for their sailing camp. During this time
students worked together to learn how to sail safely and had a fantastic time working together on the ocean.
During the year we had many excursions to enrich our students’ learning. Some notable excursions were the drama excursion
to watch Shakespeare at the University of Western Australia’s Octagon Theatre, a trip to the Zoo for our older students to
learn about the Zoo’s history, and a trip to Fremantle Prison to expand the Certificate I students’ knowledge on Western
Australian history.
FUNDRAISING
Through the Wellbeing Program we have been working
on instilling a sense of community in our students and
during the year we work on fundraising for different
projects. We have participated in the World’s Greatest
Shave for the past two years with both staff and students
shaving or colouring their hair. In 2017 we raised $850 for
the Leukaemia Foundation, a fantastic effort.
The female Wellbeing Programs also raised funds to
create wellness gift baskets for the women staying in
Communicare’s Tuart House refuge. These women and
children are leaving situations of Family and Domestic
Violence and our female students wanted to do
something to help. The students purchased products
they thought the women would like, packaged them
in gift baskets, then went on an excursion to deliver the
baskets and spend the day talking with the women in
the refuge.

OUR STUDENT ATTENDANCE
Students at the Communicare Academy are expected to attend every day. In 2017 student attendance was measured
twice per day, once during Period 1 and again during Connect. Our Attendance and Enrolment Officer communicates
with families when students are not attending, and with our Chaplain, to offer support to assist students to increase and
maintain their attendance.
In 2018 we will begin recording attendance data every period using the SEQTA software program. This will allow us to have
more detailed data on students’ attendance and will allow us to study trends in patterns of avoidance. This will then assist
us in helping those students to work through their attendance barriers.
Students enrolled:
Many of our students enrol with attendance rates lower than 30%. For us to see that, on average, our students are attending
over 50% of the time is a sign that our program is working well. All year groups, other than the Year 10s, have attendance
rates of 60% and above. This data has shown us that our 2017 Year 10 group will require ongoing support as they move into
Year 11 and 12 to ensure they can increase and maintain their attendance rate. We will also monitor future Year 10 groups to
see if there is a trend within that specific year group or just the 2017 cohort.

SUMMARY SEPTEMBER 2017, SHOWING TESTS THAT WILL NEED TO BE SAT AGAIN IN MARCH 2018
Six current students had already completed all OLNA requirements before the September round.
Three additional students completed all of their OLNA requirements in the September round.
OLNA REPORT NOVEMBER 2017
The Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (OLNA) tests are offered to students in years 10, 11 and 12 in March and
September each year. While NAPLAN data gives us an assessment on one day of the year, tracking the data in the subsequent
assessments can indicate progress. It also informs teachers of areas for further development. Year 10 students sit the OLNA
and have additional opportunities to meet the recognised standard by the end of Year 12. Again, the data from these
assessments will indicate further progress benchmarked against state standards.
The tables below show both the participation in the tests as well as the pass rate. Some students had already
completed parts of their OLNA before arriving at the Communicare Academy and this is reflected in the table.
SUMMARY MARCH 2017 ROUND:
• Total number of tests offered: 120 (including absents)
• Total number of tests sat (commenced): 76
• Raw participation %: 63%

STAKEHOLDER SATISFACTION
Each year a survey is sent to parents and students to gather data reflecting their school experience with the
Communicare Academy. This feedback is used to help shape our focus for continual improvement. While the surveys
are separate, there are eight questions which are the same. It is interesting to note some of the differences between the
opinions of parents/guardians and students. Please see below for an overview of the responses received.
PARENTS:
Parents/Guardians provided overwhelmingly positive
responses. 98% of parents/guardians responded with
‘Usually’ or ‘Always’ to the eight key indicators, with
the remaining 2% of responses reflecting a
‘Sometimes’ in regards to the management of behaviour
in the Academy.
These responses tell us we are doing most things
well, but that there is always room for
improvement. The development of the Head of
Behaviour Management role and the streamlining of the
responsibilities of the Leadership Team has allowed us to
address these behaviour management concerns leading
into the 2018 school year.
Students getting ready for a game.
What do you like most about the Communicare Academy?
• Small number of students
• Teachers, staff, and students are all treated aspeople and individuals
• Small classrooms
• No uniforms on a daily basis, only for excursions
• The teachers and Principal show caring,understanding, and compassion for my child’sspecial needs
• They encourage and reward students rather thanpunish and humiliate them
• They provide lots of opportunities andexperiences that my child would never normallyhave
• My child eats lunch at school for the first time in10 years due to the relaxed atmosphere and setup of the canteen
• The flexibility of the staff and the small numberof students means my child feels happy andsafe. No more panic attacks!
• Staff
• The environment
What could we do better?
• The jokes
• Parking for the Year 12s.
• Better ways of dealing with “bullying”
• Ways of reducing distractions for the kids who just want to do their work
COMMUNICARE ACADEMY Annual Report 201714 |
It is great to note that the parents are happy with our staff and the level of support that is provided. A lot of the positive
comments reflect on either the staff support or our physical environment and how we cater for individual needs.
Unfortunately our parking options are limited and therefore this is unlikely to be something we can improve on for
students who drive, however the comments regarding distractions and bullying will most definitely be investigated
into the new academic year.
STUDENTS:
Students responded, for 96% of the time for either ‘Always’or ‘Usually’ that:
• They like being at the Communicare Academy
• They feel safe at the Communicare Academy
• They are making good progress
• They can talk with the staff about their needs
• The staff treat all students fairly
• The staff motivate them to learn
• The staff help them to be their best selves
• The Communicare Academy is well maintained
• They are supported in their wellbeing
Students participating in the wellbeing program.
15% of students surveyed rated that we ‘Rarely’ manage student behaviour well. 15% of students surveyed also rated us as
‘Sometimes’ meeting their learning needs and ‘Sometimes’ takes student opinions seriously.
STUDENT COMMENTS:
What do you like most aboutthe Communicare Academy?
What could we do better?
• Teachers, particularly Laura
• Canteen
• I like how the staff really care about ourWellbeing
• The teachers/staff always handle badsituations really well and provide comfort whenneeded
• The amazing staff
• The environment
• How small this school is and everyone knowseach other
• The teachers care about you
• The teachers and Steph are always there for usand very supportive
• That they will often push you into situations thattakes you out of your comfort zone
• The staff are friends more than staff whichmakes people feel safe, including me
• The small amount of students
• Phones, or at least unblock music sites like SoundCloud
• Maybe deal better with the bullies (butbullying doesn’t happen often though)
• Managing student behaviour• Teaching the boys to flush until the waste is gone
and to wipe the seats• There’s nothing I would change about the
Communicare Academy!
• Enough with the puns!
• Get bike stands, because they are two tired
• A naptime session
• You’ve met all my needs
Annual Report 2017 COMMUNICARE ACADEMY | 15
Again the positive comments contain a lot of reflection on the quality of our staff and the level of support provided
for students. Student Wellbeing is at the focus of every staff member and everything we do so it is positive to see that this
is being acknowledged and that our focus in this area is making a difference.
The responses for improvements have highlighted, in the same way as the parent responses, our issues with both Behaviour
Management and bullying. This further solidifies our commitment to improve in these areas during 2018. As you can
also tell, our students thoroughly enjoy the humour of our staff, with both a criticism on the puns and a pun itself in the
comments section of the survey.
It is also positive to note that in the student survey responses that one of the comments in the improvements column is, in
fact, a positive however there were also several surveys where the improvements box was left blank.
REFLECTION:
In the responses we see a comparison with both parents/guardians and students perceiving our Behaviour Management as
a weak point. We are hoping with the new Head of Behaviour Management role and streamlined policies and procedures
that in 2018 we will see a change in this area.
IMPROVEMENTS FROM 2016 SURVEY
The 2016 survey indicated that only 50% of students felt that ‘teachers and other staff treat students fairly’ and that
they ‘felt safe’. This was disappointing for staff as we strive to make the Communicare Academy a safe and welcoming
environment. However, during 2017 we focused on improving our Whole School Wellbeing Program and Student
Services area to ensure we built both a safe and welcoming culture with safe places for our students to be.
After the implementation of both the Whole School Wellbeing Program and the redesign of the Student Services area
in 2017 it is fantastic to note that these improvements have resulted in 83% of students in 2017 responding that they
‘Always’ felt safe and 100% of students responding ‘Always’ that staff treat all students fairly. This is a fantastic outcome and
a massive improvement on our 2016 responses.
Wellbeing and relationship building are the foundation of the Communicare Academy.

POST SCHOOL DESTINATIONS:
YEAR 12 AND POST SCHOOL DESTINATIONS
Some of our students leave during the academic year once they have completed their Certificates in General Education
for Adults. Most of these students leave as they have achieved their goal and are looking to either seek employment or
undertake tertiary study. The students outlined in the tables below are the Year 11s and 12s who were studying until the end
of the year to complete their Certificates and elected to finish their education as School Leavers.
We work with all students to ensure they have something to move onto when they finish their time with us. Staff
work with the students on applying for tertiary study or seeking employment as well as preparing them for post-school
life. The Communicare Academy are now in the process of setting up an Alumni Association so we can work with previous
students to ensure they remain engaged in either education or employment.
