TENNANT CREEK PRIMARY SCHOOL

2014

Annual Performance Report to the School Community

An Engaging Urban Students School

Tennant Creek Primary School

School Overview

Our School

Tennant Creek Primary School is a large, remote, primary school providing pre and primaryschool education for Tennant Creek and the Mungkarta Homeland Centre. Our aim is to

offer a comprehensive education to a student cohort which comes from widely diverse

backgrounds. Our focus is always on attendance, literacy and numeracy but we offer a huge

variety of other programs that are aimed at making our school a place where students wantto be. We are an Accelerated

Literacy (AL) school and are

constantly developing school

programs that support andenhance AL. We see ourselves

as a full service school: We pick

students up in the morning

and take them home after

school. We supply breakfast,recess and lunch to students

through a comprehensive

nutrition program,

Our students

In 2014 we had an average

enrolment of 402 students.

The average attendance over

the year was 69% and the average attendance of our Indigenous students, who make up

73% of our school population, was 63%.

Our Staff

In 2014 our staff

included the Principal,

Assistant Principal,three Senior Teachers,

16 primary class

teachers, a preschool

teacher and five

specialist teachers. In

addition we serviced

Mungkarta Homelands

Centre with a

Transition to Year 6

classroom teacher.

Whole school teaching

support staff included three specialist teachers for science, the arts and history, a Special


Education teacher and two teachers for the Positive Learning Centres in the school. We also

shared a School Nurse and School Councillor with Tennant Creek High School. All teachers

held the necessary and relevant teaching qualification to carry out their duties and were

registered with the Teacher Registration Board of the Northern Territory.

Our administration staff

consisted of an

Administration Manager, an

AIEW, a Special Education

Assistant, four administrative

support staff, two AssistantTeachers and a maintenance

officer. Through our

Government Equity funding

and School Council funding

we employed a further 31

support staff in positions

including classroomassistants, individual tutors,

nutrition program staff and

crossing attendant.

Our Community

Our school community takes in children from

across Tennant Creek. We also attract

students from other communities in the

Barkly who attend the Primary School when

they are in Tennant Creek with their families,

A School and Community Partnership

Agreement was negotiated and signed off in

2013. This remained in place in 2014 and

helped formalise the strong support we

enjoy from our community and the

partnerships we have developed with local

Indigenous organisations.

Principal's Report

I would like to firstly acknowledge the immense support provided during 2014 by our

Chairperson, Susan Wright and all School Council members who have contributed many

hours of their time to support and guide all we do. It has been a year of highlights and

challenges.

I want to congratulate all our staff and students for their contribution and efforts during the

year. Working in a school in any community has many complexities however as a combinedgroup we have achieved some positive outcomes in 2014.

We had a major focus on

improving our teachingpractices as a whole

school with the

implementation of Visible

Learning (VL) andAccelerated Literacy (AL)

practices by all teachers.

A focus on student Well-

Being and Behaviour has

enabled new policies and

practices to beimplemented. There

were two Positive

Learning Centres' created

to support behaviourally

challenged students and

a Behaviour Specialist who provided support for staff and students, Teachers have engaged

in a variety of professional learning experiences to improve what we do in supportingstudents to be active learners.

Our Visible Learning Impact Coaches have led the ongoing implementation of Visible

Learning in the school. Teachers were involved in having their lessons critiqued by

themselves and their peers. This focus on VL and AL will continue in 2015 so that we become

the best teachers we can for ALL students.

There have been many highlights which include Sport and Swimming Carnival Days, ourstudent's engagement in a range of sports locally, at intra- school carnivals and at interstate

competitions. Parents and teachers have all year supported students to participate in a

range of sporting activities locally and on trips away from our community particularly with

Athletics, Cricket, Football, including the Port Adelaide Willpower Program, Netball and Bin

Ball. Our students were well behaved, liked and respected and displayed good

sportsmanship skills. This is a real credit to all families and our wider community. I would like


to acknowledge the many businesses and individuals who have helped to fundraise for

students to attend sporting experiences throughout 2014,

Other fundraising highlights were the School Fete ($5470), Breakfast with the Stars and Book

Fair ($6129) Family Fun Day ($1800)School Concert ($3400)and Centrecorp who supportedstudents to attend

the Year 6

Educational Futures

Trip to Darwin

($6000).

Thank you to the

parents and carers

who supported the

Preschool with

fundraising, workingbees and

improvements to

the Preschool

learning areas. A

grant was secured

to upgrade the

toilets and the

kitchen area to

meet the national compliance standards.

Congratulations to our Mungkarta Parents and Teaching staff who delivered a key noteaddress at the Indigenous Educator Conference in November and were very well received,

Mungkarta Class had the top student attendance in 2014.

There were several positive initiatives to engage students in 2014 and offer a diverse range

of opportunities for them to explore new interests and strengths-:

• Bluearth Program

• a successful gymnastic week with the NT Gymnastic Coach

• a tennis clinic

• the Year 6 Educational Futures trip to Darwin

• Constable Warrior and Constable Shields visits to improve behavior, learn about

cyber bullying and their fun discos

• Vibe 3 on 3 Challenge Day

• Anzac Commemoration Assembly, the Friday Elective Program

• The Dance Program with Lamb

• Tennant's Got Talent Day and Celebration Day

• Year 6 Graduation Extravaganza

• Annual School Concert in Desert Harmony Week

• Winanjjikari Music Sessions for Students and The Barkly Boys concert

• Anyinginyi Men's Centre sessions for boys


• Warumungu Language and Cultural lessons, Reconciliation Day and NAIDOC Day

were also highlights where all children have learned more about Indigenous culture

to build positive relationships and understandings

Support from the Health Department, Anyinginyi Congress and our Regional Office

Consultants enabled students to receive free dental checks, ear and eye testing, health care,

and psychological and intellectual assessment of students with high needs requiring

specialist care. 15 students now attract SESP funding to support their learning needs.

The Remote Attendance Improvement Strategy has enabled a positive relationship to be

developed with Papulu Appar Kari (Language Centre) staff where the 'yellow shirt' officers

have helped engage poor attenders in schooling and talk with families about ways to

improve school participation.

Other community partnership initiatives included the PACE program, Julilikari's 'Red Shirt'

Support Initiative and the FAST program. These have developed greater community

engagement so parents and carers take an active role in their children's learning, A new

parent room was established by the PACE team. The positive partnership with staff, parents

and community was important for student learning and the support of many outside

agencies was greatly appreciated.

The School Canteen

team has done an

awesome job in

organizing thenutrition program

which enables everychild to have

wholesome and

cheap meals each

day. Their tireless

efforts and friendly

attitude are

admirable and

ensure students

have a positive start

to their day.

We fare welled

several long term

staff who have gone on leave for various reasons; Kristin Doyle, Tash Civitarese, Jacquie

Lyster, Nurse Mel and Denise Mitchell who did a sterling in their roles throughout the year.

Finally I would like to thank everyone in our school community for their contribution

towards making our school a better place. I know we face many challenges but together weare achieving some positive outcomes.


Teaching and Learning

The school has developed strategies that focus on whole school assessment moving away

from individual teacher accountability to whole school all staff accountability for individual

student learning. This development has come about as a result of the extensive data

received through the Accelerated Literacy program (now in its eighth year) and the data

received from the introduction of NAPLAN testing. Now in its fifth year, the school based

Genre/Writing program has also been invaluable. These initiatives have led us to thedevelopment of a whole School Literacy Document,

2014 Initiatives/Directions

The school's literacy and numeracy programs align with the new Australian Curriculum and

extensive use has been made of the Curriculum to Classroom documents in achieving this as

well as the Multiple Year Level documents developed in the Northern Territory.

In 2014 Tennant Creek

Primary School took part

in the Visible Learning

initiative being run across

Central Australia. This

initiative, based on the

research of John Hattie,

focusses on identifyingwhat works in the

classroom and why it

works. Visible Learning

uses data collected in the

classroom as a means of

driving classroom

improvement. The school

will be using twice yearly

assessments in 2014 to

provide further information on the progress of our students and to help identify gaps in

individual student learning.

The school also continued to see the benefits of the Accelerated Literacy program in terms

of whole school literacy development. To date this program has seen significant results

across the school. This progress has been a result of explicit teaching methodologies which

have only been achieved due to significant Professional Development and support fromschool based Coordinators.

NAPLAN Participation and Results

2014 saw the NAPLAN participation rates fall back when compared to 2013. This meant that

fewer students took the test than in the previous year and that may have had an effect on


the data. The table below summarises student results in Years 3 and 5 and compares them

to those achieved in 2013. (Full NAPLAN results are attached in Appendix B).

The Year 3 results were slightly lower than in the previous year except for Spelling wherethere was a small improvement. The 'School Mean' figure hides the fact that 68% of our Year

3 students either met or exceeded National Minimum Standards for Spelling while 61% met

or exceeded National Minimum Standards for Numeracy. This reflects two of the School's

focus area but also shows that we need to catch our students up in the other key areas.

Most of the growth was seen in Year 5 where there were improvements in four of the five

areas - most noticeably in the Numeracy test and the writing test. Again the 'School Mean'

figure disguises the fact that more than half our students met or exceed National Minimum

Standards in Numeracy, Reading, Spelling and Writing - only just missing out in Grammar.

Tennant Creek Primary School continued to take part in the Visible Learning project in 2014,

receiving advice on teaching and learning from leading academics led by Prof John Hattie.

The data gathered through internal standardised testing show that significant gains were

made in Years 1 and 2 in 2014 as a result techniques used in the classroom. This should see

improved results in the Year 3 NAPLAN tests in 2015. Similar techniques focusing on explicit

teaching should see a further improvement in the Year 5 results in 2015.

The support made

available through the

school to provide

Wellbeing

Enrolment and Attendance

In 2014 average enrolment increased fell to 402 from the previous year's figure of 432. The

average attendance for the year was 69.0%, again showing little change from the previous

year's 69.3%. In this period the enrolment of Indigenous students fell from 306 to 293 with

the average attendance for our Indigenous students rising to 63.0%.

The following activities and special events are ongoing from year to year and act to engagemore students in attendance and participation at the school:

• Student Representative Council

including House Captains

• School Concert •

• NAIDOCDay

• Celebration Day

• Breakfast with the Stars

• Two week swimming and water

safety program

• Sports Day

• Weekly Clontarf sessions

• Year 6 Excursion to Darwin

• Year 6 Graduation

and CDSong writing

production.

workshop

The following long running programs alsocontinued:

• Daily school bus services

• Nutrition program

• Meet the teacher afternoons

• Class presentations

• First aid courses with the school

nurse and St John staff

• Preparation for Puberty

Perhaps the most important program we conduct is the Nutrition Program which feeds on

average 170 students a day. The school works hard to keep the cost of the program down

while supplying nutritious food.


Participation, Transitions and Pathways

Remote School Attendance Strategy

The School welcomed the federally funded Remote School Attendance Strategy in 2014.The

program was operated in the Barkly by Papulu Apparr-Kari (PAK) and helped to strength tiesbetween this school and other schools in the Barkly. The program will take time to bed in

and we are very pleased that the funding for this program will continue into 2015. As part of

the Memorandum of Understanding between the School and PAK, provides each weekday

morning the PAK School Attendance Supervisor and PAK School Attendance Officers to assist

with agreed activities at the school, PAK also provides invaluable assistance with school

special activities such as sports carnivals, special assemblies to help build positiverelationships with school children and their families. The attendance strategy has been a

great help to the

school and we have

all become familiar

with the Yellow Shirts

both around town

and in the school.

Student Movement

Student mobility - as

measured by thenumber of students

enrolling and leavingthe school

increased markedly in2014 and this brought

its own problems,

Many of thesestudents were those

attending Tennant

Creek Primary while their families were in town for short periods of time. During 2014

student turnover stood at 90% for the year as a whole. This compares with 62% in 2013 -

which was itself an increase when compared to previous years.

The school is aware that there are always going to be families and students moving through

the region and, in common with other schools in the Barkly, we continue to see a high

degree of student mobility. Out of a total enrolment of 402, the School saw 355 students

arrive and 288 leave. Many of these students moved between Tennant Creek and other

Barkly communities and the figures include those who left, returned and re-enrolled.

Traditionally our Year 6 students make the transition to the Middle School campus of Barkly

College with some leaving for schools in Alice Springs or further afield. Anecdotal evidence

continues to suggest that the creation of the Clontarf Academy and the Stronger Sisters


program, based at Barkly College, have helped smooth the transition to middle school and

improved student retention.

Age of Entry - One Transition Intake

The Preschool forms a vital part of ensuring that children are ready to start in the Transition

Class, The Preschool teacher and her team do amazing work with children who come to her

with a wide variety of needs and degrees of school readiness. This really is a vital part of

schooling.

The Positive Learning Centre

The Positive Learning Centre was created in Term 4 of 2013 to provide a welcoming andfocussed environment for students at risk either because of low attendance or for

behavioural reasons. This centre continued in 2014 and a second, Junior PLC for those in

Years 2-4 was added with the aim of providing a supporting environment in which gaps in

student learning could be identified and rectified.

Graduating Year 6 Students and Friendly Faces

The Friendly Faces program was again active in 2014, making good use of our continued

close links with the Barkly College Middle School campus. During the last term all Year 6

students have at least three full days on the other campus where they became part of

normal classes. This immersion in the school culture gives the students a very good idea of

how the school works

and what to expect in

Year 7. Groups of Year

7 students (last year's

graduates) also cameto school to talk of

their experiences in

Middle School.

Engaging Urban

Students

In 2014 we continued

to be an EngagingUrban Students School

with access to funding

that could be used to

encourage attendance

and participation of all students in our community. The transition points between the phasesof learning continued to be a particular focus. Our aim was to ensure that students were

ready for school on entering Transition and that those who had reached the end of Year 6

were equipped to continue with their schooling in Year 7.

Other projects included engaging visiting artists to conduct music and song writing

workshops, school-wide behaviour support, child protection training and supporting families

through our nutrition program. This program has had a major positive impact on the way toget students to school and keep them focussed on their own learning while they are here.


Partnerships

The School Community Partnership Agreement was negotiated and put in place for 2013.

This partnership represents an ongoing commitment between the school and its Indigenous

Community to work together to better support the education of Indigenous children and

young people. The Agreement sets out a range of actions to improve these links and to

further support Indigenous students through actions derived from the school's Strategic

Improvement Plan and Annual Operating Plan.

This formal partnership has added a further dimension to our existing partnerships with

organisations in Tennant Creek. As a result of these partnerships we are able to offer

students a wide range of educational experiences and to further the important concept that

our school is central to the community.

We are pleased that our school was able to maintain its very strong relationship with Barkly

Arts - something most evident during the Desert Harmony Festival. The school continued to

enjoy the benefits of our sporting partnerships both within the community and from further

afield. These included the Clontarf Academy, Auskick, Barkly Australian Football League, MiloCricket, and Cricket Central Australia. Major School - Community Events in 2014 included the

School Concert,

Breakfast with the

Stars during Literacy

and Numeracy

Week and the

ongoing HistoryGarden Project.

Parent and

Community

Engagement

The partnership

formed with the

Parent and

Community

Engagement project

(PACE) was of majorbenefit to the school

in 2014, particularly in the second half of the year. Through PACE school pamphlets with

frequently asked questions were translated into Warumungu, Warlpiri and Alyawarra.

School posters promoting the Concert, Breakfast with the Stars and the School Fete were

also translated into these languages. The result was a major increase in attendance and

involvement in these activities from across the whole community. The PACE led survey into

student and family perceptions also helped us to pin-point areas of need in the school.


Leadership

Staffing numbers at the end of 2014 stood at 37. This included 11 DoE support staff,

including administrative officers and classroom assistants, and 22 teachers. In terms of

teaching staff we

maintained a staff

retention rate of 73%

when comparing thefirst term of 2014 to the

last term of 2014.

As can be seen in the

table below, providing

quality, targetedprofessional

development

opportunities was again

a major focus in 2014.

Much of this focus was

on the Visible Learninginitiative which the

whole school

participated in. This

level of professional development is essential if we are to enable our staff to continue to

develop as quality educators and to bring new knowledge and techniques into the classroomin order to further improve the educational outcomes for our students. Attendance for a

number of these courses was funded thanks to the Engaging Urban Students School.

Following on from previous audits, despite there being no adjustments made in 2014within this area, due to the many prior year adjustments made In-house via journalentries correcting opening balances between 2009 and 2011 from advice you. haveobtained from the Northern Territory Government Department of Education andTraining, we as auditors, when faced with "Prior Year Adjustmente" that cannot beverified due to Government Department forces which are out of our and your control,cannot provide assurances as to th® correctness of Items the balances'of which havebeen ©ftected by these occurroncQS.

W© th©refore have. no choice but to continue the Issuance of a qualification on thisaudit due to this.

Receipting

The only other qualification was a very minor qualification express&d In the auditreport Is in regard to receipting which, when It comes to cash, will always be sininherent systemic Issue, although we provide the following as a oontlnuat means offurther improving the quality and standard of record keeping :

(a) The audit revealed that Bank Reconciliations through MYOB are beingperformed on a monthly basis, recondltng profit and loss statements to thenet movement in the bank acoount. This practice ie pleasing and further,continuously encouraged.

Our procedures Inolucied ©XQminatton, on atest basis, of evidsnce supporting ths amounts and other disclosures in the Reportand th© ©valuation of accounting policiss and significant accounting estimates. Theseprocedures have been undertaken to form an opinion as to whether, in all materialrespects, the Financial Report is presented fairly In accordance with AustralianStatements of Accounting Concepts and Accounting Standards and other statutoryrequirements, so as to present a view of the School Counoil which Is consistent withour understanding of Its financial position and the results of its operations.

The audit opinion expressed In this report has been formed on the above basis,

QUALinCATION

It was not practicablQ for controls to be sstabllshed over receipts, other than for GrantFunding and Investment Income, prior to their receipt and entry into Ihe accountingrecords. Accordingly, It was not practicable for our examination of these areas toextend beyond amounts recorded,

Furthermore, internal NT Government adjustments previously made to th© generalledger and subsequent Internal accounts of the Tennant Creek Primary Schoolcontinue to Impact on our ability to provide assurances.

Adjustments made in prior years from assets appearing with prior period purchasedates, depreciation lntroduo©d where previously this was spQclflcaIly against policyand procedure, and new accounts introduced Info the general ledger by the NTGovernment providing no guidance as to their accounting treatment continue tocreate these difficulties for us auditors.

We continue to qualify the audit due to these "Prior Year Adjustments" and "PolicyChange Adjustments" Impacts.

When comparing NAPLAN results from year to year, it is important to consider several technical aspects to test if any differences in the results are real.One way to do this is to calculate 'confidence inten/als' which describe how confident we are that the result is an accurate estimate,In the follovring graphs 2009-2014 comparisons are shown with the'confidence intervals'as error bars at the top of each graph.As a general rule of thumb, where confidence intervals overiap, average scores should not be considered as statistically different, i.e. they should be considered to be the same.

Note: In 2011, students were required to complete a persuasive writing task. This is a change from previous years (2010 and prior) when students were required to write a narrative or story.Due to this change in genre, post 2010 Writing results should not be compared to previous years.
