Charles Campbell Secondary School Annual Report 2007 “Every Learner – Student, Staff and Parent – Progressing Well” Introduction Throughout 2007 Charles Campbell Secondary School community continued to develop as a learning organisation by supporting the learning of each student, staff member, parent and caregiver. A highlight of the year was our commitment to a ten year cycle of self improvement through the Council of International Schools (CIS) self evaluation and accreditation process, supported by the school community. We appreciated the visiting team (Mr Peach and Mr. Davis) who evaluated our readiness and suitability to commit to the CIS process. Our school community achieved a successful outcome to the preliminary/preparatory visit, reflected in the report from CIS. Parents, community partners and mentors contribute significantly through many different avenues, to the support and education of our students. Staff continued to further develop their own skills and learning programmes to support continuous improvement for every student in our care. Through an increasing number of cultural and social activities, as well as through improving our teaching and learning programmes, we aimed to provide every student with memorable learning experiences during 2007. We celebrated the rich diversity of backgrounds, interests, abilities and aspirations of each student in our care. The school has worked towards continual improvement through inquiry based processes of reflection, analysis, planning and action. All sectors of the school community are connected through belonging to identified groups. Ø Inspiring Curriculum – further development, implementation and

evaluation of learning programmes in the school and wider community

Ø Student Wellbeing - further developed, implemented and

evaluated health, wellbeing and connection that supports student success at school and in the future

Ø Capacity to Achieve – factors which enable the school to identify

and meet its educational and organisational goals The report seeks to provide our school community with an overview of developments throughout the year.

In 2007 achievements occurred in all 3 focus areas of: Ø Inspiring Curriculum Ø Student Wellbeing Ø Capacity to Achieve

A small number of students pursue alternative education pathways through a range of providers including ASEC, Kilburn, YEC and other options as available. Student progression rates indicate strong numbers of students moving to the next level from year 8 – 11. Year 11 – 12 figures include students completing their SACE through workplace based learning programmes (traineeships, apprenticeships, TAFE, employment etc). Our work continues to focus on providing each young person with a full secondary education or its equivalence. In addition to local students, international students (study abroad, exchange students and full fee paying students) enrolled at CCSS in increasing numbers in 2007. The success rate for international students completing SACE in 2007 was 93%.

At the start of Term 4 2007 CCSS had achieved 168% growth over 12 months by developing strong working relationships with International Education Services, recruiting a range of home stay families, providing personal attention and support to each student, liaising to meet student needs with other members of the leadership team, successfully welcoming agents and business development managers to the school, and maintaining high expectations of student work habits and behaviour. This trend continues to support the Double Market SA Strategic Plan.

Charles Campbell Secondary School Annual Report 2007 “Every Learner – Student, Staff and Parent – Progressing Well” Student Wellbeing 1. Improving Relationships Our Aims

Ø parent – student - teacher Ø reporting of bullying and harassment across the school

results in improved outcomes. Ø ‘Bullying No Way’ Workshops for all students Years 8 - 11

Our Progress 1. Improving Relationships o CCSS anti-harassment policy and procedures (reviewed 2004 and

2007) is implemented through an annual education programme by the Home Group Teachers and counselling staff.

o The “Bullying No Way” programme was introduced to staff through

workshops with school wide strategies investigated and implemented. Ongoing professional learning and development workshops for staff - electronic and cyber bullying, internet, mobile phones etc.

o The Year Level Programmes included years 8 – 12 for the first time in

2007. These include information sessions, class discussions and exploration of issues. “Performances” elaborate and aid understanding for students.

o Student and parent reporting of harassment has increased. o Increased number and acceptance of restorative meetings between

the groups and individuals involved. o Two new formats of survey are being tested: The DECS Student

Opinion Survey used in 2007 and the CIS survey to be used in 2008. Investigations are also underway regarding the ACER Student Wellbeing Survey. At the end of 2008 one data set will be selected for future use.

o The range and number of significant adults in the school able to

support students has increased including trained volunteer Mentors, Home Group Teachers, Transition Brokers, Bilingual Support Officer, Aboriginal Education Worker, Aboriginal Education Resource Teacher, Student Services staff and the Chaplain.

o The “No Bullying” task group are continuing their work to develop

effective strategies for students and staff. Working collaboratively, we need to support students in making behavioural changes in developing a positive attitude towards “no bullying”, requiring both adults and students to re-think their attitude and responses to bullying behaviours.

level of students’ friendships at school and level of comfort at school. Ø Bullying and harassment continues to be a significant issue for many

students. Ø There is an increasing awareness of the inappropriateness of

harassment. Ø Students use the language of “no bullying” and talk about behaviour

choices, fears and the effects of harassment on others. Ø There is increased awareness and involvement from parents and the

community. Ø Our challenge is to assist students to use the grievance procedures

and processes to prevent bullying and harassment. This is a continual process for young teenagers as they learn to solve their own problems.

Next Steps } ‘Bullying No Way’ Workshops Years 8 – 12 } Increased student mediation of bullying and harassment } Safe school environment

Charles Campbell Secondary School Annual Report 2007 “Every Learner – Student, Staff and Parent – Progressing well” Student Wellbeing Trends Over the past five years the numbers of students involved in co-curricular activities has increased, as has the diversity of activities offered. The development of a database has assisted in tracking the trends. The CIS self evaluation survey will provide further information. Strengthened involvement of students in Years 8 – 12 in a range of positive roles through Student Voice, is having an impact on the quality of student participation in a wide range of groups, as well as involvement in diverse developments around the school. Both Federal and State Government funding supports additional adults in the school (mentors) to help students move through challenging personal issues, institutional barriers to their education, and to plan and implement their career pathways. Students are increasingly using these resource personnel to obtain up to date information and support in specialist areas which teachers are not able to provide because of the nature of the information and industry perspectives as well as the particular cultural and language support for students and their families. Next Steps Ø It is expected that every student will have their own Learning Plan with

one or more identified adult/s who are able to provide support in planning their learning journey through secondary school, assist with career plans and support personal development of specific skills, whether social or academic.

Ø Staff professional learning and development is aimed towards

increasing the skill level of every teacher and support worker / mentor to ensure each student’s identified needs are supported through their learning program and additional support.

Ø The Home Group Programme, Lighthouse Programme (2008) and the

Future SACE Personal Learning Programme will all support this development.

Ø In 2007 every Aboriginal student, every Vision Impaired student every

student under Guardianship of the Minister and every student with identified learning needs has a Learning Plan. It is expected that in 2008 every student in years 9 and 10 will have a Learning Plan and in 2009 every student across the school will have a Learning Plan, supporting both academic development and the wellbeing of every student.

Ø Continuously improve healthy eating and lifestyle options through

school curriculum, school canteen, sport and physical activity.
