1. CONTEXTUAL INFORMATIONSacred Heart College is a Catholic co-educational secondary College from Years 7 to 12 with an enrolment of 1,414 students.

The College was established in 1967 by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions but its history can be traced back to 1898 when Sacred Heart School opened in the central Perth suburb of Highgate. The College motto is Always Striving Upwards. The curriculum is based on Christian

values and offers a wide range of quality educational opportunities that foster the Academic, Cultural, Sporting and Spiritual development of students. There is a strong university focus as well as an extensive vocational education program. Our Education Support Centre caters for students with special learning needs.

Central to the curriculum is the philosophy of creating lifelong learners who use their potential and talents in the service of others, and for the benefit of themselves. The College recognises the

value of parents and supports them in their role as the prime educators of their children. A highly successful extra-curricular program is offered to students. This enhances the excellent Academic, Sporting, Cultural and Christian service achievements of the College, making enrolment a highly sought after option for families in the community.

PARENTS

Sacred Heart College uses a number of different mediums to communicate with parents. The College regularly requests feedback about policies and procedures. For example, in recent times we have asked for feedback about Parent Information Evenings and for many years we have conducted end of year surveys for each year group.

The College Website and Newsletter

are important mediums of

communication with our families and

the broader community. In addition,

there is constant communication

between the College and families

using SEQTA, email, phone and

one-on-one personal conversations.

Student Academic Reports are

produced for parents/guardians

to access via SEQTA twice a year.

Parent Teacher Evenings are held

three times a year, in Terms 1, 2 and

3, allowing parents/guardians to

meet with individual teachers. The

College uses SEQTA as a medium

through which teachers, parents

and students can communicate.

Information regarding attendance,

behaviour and academic

performance can be accessed

through SEQTA.

These following excerpts are taken

directly from Parent Surveys 2019:

College Communication with Parents

• Weekly Newsletter very good -

always appreciate Peter Bothe’s

insights - always inspiring, and

he clearly takes time to find

thought provoking themes and

makes them relevant to College

activities.

• Incredible, Informative, efficient.

• Can not complain that we don’t

know about events happening

or requirements for our children.

Plenty of emails etc to inform us

parents.

• Amazing communication. Very

grateful.

• Very happy with relevant and

timely updates.

• I appreciate regular relevant

updates from the College.

• Some times a bit too much.

• Commendation to Mrs Collins for

her frequent communication to

year 7 parents/guardians.

Parent Perception of Staff

• All teachers at the College

deserve commendation. They are

truly amazing professionals that

genuinely have the best interest

of their students at heart.

• Rachel Jones was a gift from

God. An excellent form teacher.

• I would like to thank all the

teachers at Sacred Heart for a

fantastic team effort that has

provided my children with the

necessary education and the

maturity to sit ATAR and to think

about a career and a life after

school.

• It’s a fabulous school, with

wonderful staff and a lovely

community feel.

• My deepest thanks to Peter

Bothe, all the teaching staff and

the ever hard working support/

admin staff for all you do for

the students of our College. It

takes a village to raise a child

and my children have grown into

wonderful adults thanks to all

the experiences they have had a

Sacred Heart College.

• The guidance counsellors help

with subject selections was

amazing being able to offer

support and instant calming to

the stressed student and work

through the situation.

• Great efforts by Mr Bothe, Mr

Cucini, Ms Janeczko, Mr Goh, Mr

for all his great efforts behind

the scenes.

10

6. PARENT, STUDENT AND TEACHER SATISFACTION (cont.)

• Very happy. The PCG teachers

are well regarded and care. Mr

Goh is a genuine legend.

• Pastoral care is one of the

biggest reasons why we chose

to send our children to Sacred

Heart.

• The kindness and support

shown from staff was much

appreciated.

• The school does an amazing

job in the way it cares for the

children.

• Brilliant support of the

students always with love and

appropriate/correct guidance

when needed.

• The spiritual learning and

reflection is strongly supporting

my sons development. He has a

strong faith and enjoys attending

mass each week. The program is

allowing my son the opportunity

to reflect and celebrate his

faith, values and service to the

community each week at the

college.

• Awesome - sincere, Catholic

perspective with engagement

with the world.

• Mr Kan was a great campus

minister.

• Very happy that RE is a subject

through to Year 12. As a Catholic

School it should be part of the

weekly curriculum.

• The College develops well

rounded individuals, in part

due to the spiritual exposure

available throughout their

schooling.

• Boys found he retreat very

uplifting.

• Opportunities are there for

those who want to be involved.

School appears to have a great

emphasis on the spiritual.

love the focus on humanity and

service. With such privileged

kids, it is fantastic they have

opportunity to have insights into

whats on the other side of the

fence.

• The PCG and school masses

were beautiful.

Academic Pillar• It is wonderful that the school

recognises that every student

has their own pathway and

learning journey. The variety

of academic programs that are

available for all students, at

whatever level they are, ensures

that each student feels engaged

during their time at the college.

• Was impressed by the GATE

program and the opportunity

to participate in the many

academic competitions.

• I am pleased my son was able to

move from CareerLink to ATAR

and his decision was supported

by the school. I would like to

acknowledge Mrs. Butt who has

been so supportive of my child

and has helped him achieve

success in history.

• My son has had so many

oppotunities to experience

and participate in academic

extracurricular activities!!

Thanks!!

• Rebecca Delaney is

caring, approachable and

knowledgeable educator, who

strives to make learning as

easy for students with learning

difficulties. The support she has

given our child and family this

year, we are so truly grateful

to her. Once all teachers were

aware of CAP plan in place, our

child started to thrive in most of

his courses.

• The teachers have worked very

hard with my child this year and

their grades have improved. they

have loved this year.

• The academic program has

provided a very good learning

atmosphere that has increased

his knowledge.

Cultural Pillar

• The staff here are very

committed and passionate to the

needs of the students.

• Guys ‘n Dolls was fantastic!

• This program has allowed my

child to explore many new

talents and discover new

interests.

• Nothing but praise for the

opportunities provided by the

school.

Sporting Pillar• Great gym, equipment and

opportunities.

• The school sports results are

proof that the program is

working well and the sports

involvement should be

encouraged to all students.

• Loved that children were

separated into males and

females. My daughter also

commented that this was great.

• Many opportunities for students

to represent SHC. Great range of

sports.

block run. Great escape from

the confines of brick walls and

digital life.

STUDENTS

Sacred Heart College provides leadership opportunities for students across all years. At the senior level, Year 12 students can apply for a position of Captain in the following areas: Year Level Captain, (for Years 7-12), Portfolio Captain (e.g. Faith & Liturgy, Wellbeing and Inclusion, Sport) and House Captain (8 Houses). A Head Boy and Head Girl are appointed from the Year Captain group.

Students in younger years can apply to be Pastoral Care Group Student Representative Councillors and House Vice-Captains. Each Semester, a leadership training day is conducted for Years 7 to 11 representatives. There is a Camp for the Year 12 Captains, held before the commencement of the school year. Student Representative Councillors and House Vice Captains meet regularly. Year 12 Captains meet in their sectional groups and also as a whole leadership team. Each Semester, there is a meeting of all representatives from across the College.

The students themselves said they believed they had been given real jobs to do and were valued. They also commented on the opportunities they have to help develop leadership skills and potential in younger students through ongoing peer mentoring. The students commented that they felt cared for and genuinely included in the decision making process of the College. There has been considerable student input into College initiatives such as our Strategic Plan, the House System and NAIDOC Week.

STAFF

The staff retention rate, willingness to undertake co-curricular activities and faith formation programs indicates very healthy staff morale. There is an excellent blend of new and experienced staff. There is also a strong sense of camaraderie amongst the staff and much of this is driven by an active and innovative Social Club.

The high profile of the College has allowed for quality staff appointments from a very competitive field. During the past 15 years, staff members from Sacred Heart College have gained promotion to the following positions in other schools; Principal, Deputy Principal, Head of Learning Area and other leadership positions.

SURVEYSEach year the graduating students complete an ‘Exit Survey’.

At the conclusion of the year, feedback surveys are also distributed to all parents/guardians.

As in previous years, the results of these surveys are collated and presented to Senior Staff and the Board of Management for comment and follow up.

BOARD OPERATIONS REPORT 2019The 2019 College Board included existing members Dr Selma Alliex, Mr Steve Cleaver, Mr James Maitland, Mr Mark Murphy, Dr Katy Tindall and Sr Marie Therese Ryder.

Mr Chris Watts and Mr Greg Canny were welcome additions.

This was my sixth and final year on the Board and in accordance with the Constitution I am required to step down. I thank all Board and Sub-committee members for their consistent hard work and willingness to

contribute in what has been another challenging year. To enhance operational efficiency and provide appropriate governance and oversight, the Board has formed and runs with four Sub-committees to assist it with discharging its role. These Sub-committees are explained below:

BUILDING SUB-COMMITTEE

Our Building Sub-committee, was once again chaired by Mr Steve Cleaver.

2019 has been spent monitoring the formative stages of the feasibility of the next big building works project, our STEM enabled Technologies Centre. Preliminary works included the creation of three new permanent Art Studios and significant progress with the establishment of temporary facilities to accommodate the

Technologies Learning Area whilst the old buildings are demolished.

The building of the new innovative Technologies Centre is scheduled for 2020/2021. The Committee worked closely with the Business Manager and the Finance Sub-committee to provide proper financial due diligence before any commitment was made. We called for building tenders in December inviting expressions of interest for consideration in the New Year.

Additionally, the Committee monitored other substantive works including the refurbishment of the expansive Resource Centre (Library) roof, upgrade of air-conditioning plant and expansive refresh of outdoor areas.

ci Manager Kylie Persak provide the Committee with a very high level of reporting, that gives the Committee and Board great comfort that the College is in a sound financial position.

The College again performed very well against a range

BOARD OPERATIONS REPORT 2019 (cont.) FINANCE SUB-COMMITTEE

The Finance Sub-committee was initially chaired by Mr Mark Murphy and followed by Mr Chris Watts from October as part of an orderly transition. As Board Chair, I also sat on this Committee.

Business Manager Mr Stephen Martin and Finance & Administration Manager Mrs Kylie Persak provide the Committee with a very high level of reporting, that gives the Committee and Board great comfort that the College is in

a sound financial position.

The College again performed very well against a range of financial indicators, outperforming several other colleges. Each year, we benchmark our results against other similar sized colleges both in WA and nationally.

Further changes to the allocation of Commonwealth Funding has been flagged which will see a move towards a Direct Method of

(parent) Income model.

One of the key tasks that the Committee performs each year is the review and oversight of the annual operating and capital Expenditure budgets. Again, this has been diligently attended to and, at its November meeting; the Board approved the 2020 budget. Details were provided at the College AGM held in November and a summary appears below:

The budget enabled the College to once again minimise fee increases. The increase of 2.50% for 2020 is substantially below the amount permitted by the Catholic Education Commission of WA. This achievement continues our historical trend of declining year-on-year percentage fee increases.

BOARD OPERATIONS REPORT 2019 (cont.)MARKETING SUB-COMMITTEE

The Marketing Sub-committee guided by Dr Katy Tindall as Chair, provided oversight and input into the College’s Community Relations & Marketing activities.

During 2019, our Alumni numbers continued to grow reinforcing that we continue to value and welcome our past students to play a role in our future; after all they remain a “Heart for life”.

Early in the year, we rolled out our stakeholder engagement program developed in conjunction with an independent professional company “Creating Communities”. This provided valuable information that fed into our Community Relations and Marketing activities.

The Committee were pleased to have an overhaul of the College website with the introduction of expanded video content and the highly popular Virtual Tour of the College.

RISK MANAGEMENT SUB-COMMITTEE

The Risk Management Sub-committee, under Chair Mr Steve Cleaver, was again active in providing effective governance to the varied and increasing risks associated with managing the College. Under the leadership of Mr Stephen Martin, the College has developed best practice risk management strategies and is recognised as a leader in this area.

At each meeting, the Committee receives and reviews a comprehensive suite of reports that covers our key risks, movement of risk profiles year on year, the minutes and report from our OHS committee, injuries to staff causing lost time, our register of near misses, and our portfolio of insurance cover.

BOARD INVOLVEMENT

Late in the year, the College went through the cyclical process for the re-registration of our right to operate as a school under the Department of Education regulations. The external audit covers every aspect of our operations and I am pleased to advise that the College received a favorable report and endorsement to continue as a school for a further five years, the maximum term available each cycle.

The Board has maintained a strategic oversight of the various projects, plans and initiatives contained within the Strategic Plan and received regular updates and progress reports from the College Executive.

It was pleasing to note that the College finally obtained approval from the City of Joondalup to allow the hire of our facilities by external third-party community groups. We see this as an important part of being a community minded College.

P&FWe are pleased to have had Mr Greg Canny on the Board representing the P&F this year. This provides a very tangible link to the P&F at the Board level. We are lucky to have such a dedicated group of parents willing to put their hand up to assist the community.

SISTERS OF OUR LADY OF THE MISSIONSWe are also very pleased to have Sr Marie Therese Ryder continue on the Board representing the Sisters. Sr Marie Therese adds real value to the Board, is immeasurably wise and ensures our future continues to reflect who we are and where we have come from.

EXECUTIVEThe relationship between the Board and the Executive is fundamental and critical to the effective functioning of the operations of the College. We are indeed very fortunate to have Mr Peter Bothe continue as our leader; his wisdom, energy, passion, and dedication to the College is amazing and brings so much value to the College.

Peter constantly reminds us that he is ably assisted by his talented executive team who have been equally enthusiastic in their vision for the College.

FAREWELLSWe are farewelling a couple of Board Members this year and I wanted to spend a moment recognising their efforts.

Dr Selma Alliex is finishing after

a two-year term on the Board. Selma has also been involved with our Marketing Committee whilst on the Board. Selma’s experience in Catholic Tertiary Education has brought a different perspective to our discussions, especially during development of our Strategic Plan last year. On behalf of the Board and our community generally, I thank her for her involvement.

Mr Mark Murphy has completed his fifth year on the Board and has sat on and chaired our Finance Sub-committee

during his time on the Board. Mark has been the force behind the development of a forecast model to assist in evaluating the impact of our decisions and changes to CEWA policy on future finances. His experience and well-balanced approach to finance and governance has been much appreciated. On behalf of the Board and the College community, we thank him for his involvement.

Goodbye from me. Sadly, this has been my final year on the Board. It has been a great honour to be able to serve the school

community that has given so much to my family and me. Sacred Heart will always hold a special place in our hearts. I wish the College and new Board every success in the years to come.
