Community Report 2013 by Yarra Valley Grammar

Community Report 2013

A CO-EDUCATIONAL SCHOOL IN THE ANGLICAN TRADITION – EARLY LEARNING TO YEAR 12

From the Principal The 2013 Community Report gives an insight into the life of our School. This was an exciting time at Yarra Valley Grammar, with building of the new Science and Mathematics Faculty commencing. The building began to take shape on our Kalinda Road boundary and along with the Early Learning Centre, the Upper Primary Building and the Year 7 Building will create a particularly impressive frontage to the School. The project is expected to be completed at the end of 2014. Our Year 12 Class of 2013 did exceptionally well in their studies, with over a third of the entire class performing in the top 10% in Victoria for the VCE exams. Many of our past students from the Class of 2013 have returned to the School in 2014 as academic and sporting coaches. Success was not

confined to the classroom, with three of our senior teams achieving premiership wins in the 2013 summer season. The Girls’ First Volleyball Team won their premiership against Wesley College, the Boys’ First Tennis Team won back to back premierships against Ivanhoe Grammar and the First XI Cricket Team won the AGSV championship against Trinity Grammar. Yarra Valley Grammar remains a vibrant place as we continue to attract outstanding teachers and those who support them in providing a great education. The schooling experience is a defining period in our lives and we at Yarra Valley Grammar undertake to make this a challenging and rewarding time in the lives of the young people in our care. We take this responsibility very seriously. Dr Mark Merry Principal

Teacher participation in professional learning During 2013 the Principal, School Board and senior staff set ongoing professional learning for all teaching staff, in accordance with VIT registration requirements, as a key strategy for maintaining and improving the teaching and learning at Yarra Valley Grammar. In 2013 approximately $90,000 was spent on staff professional learning. In line with the Strategic Learning Focus, the key teaching and learning goal for professional learning in 2013 was to improve student learning outcomes. The three sub-school areas of focus to achieve this were: • skill acquisition in Junior School • engagement in Middle School • academic performance in Senior School. In 2013 the two key teaching and learning professional learning areas were: • learning about data informed practice to help facilitate improved student learning outcomes • i mproving ICT skills and knowledge of iPad, Windows 8, Scholaris and other specific ICT staff needs. In 2013 the professional learning opportunities undertaken by staff included a mix of in-school targeted professional learning and external professional learning sessions.

ICT training was conducted at lunchtimes for targeted groups and at after school sessions for larger staff groups. iPad technology and collaborative learning using ICT was used to help engage Middle School learners and assist with learning strategies and outcomes. Data collection and analysis was used to inform teaching and learning and help develop strategies, including differentiation of curriculum to meet the relevant school goal. The Coaching Program was also an integral part of staff professional learning. Teams of three staff per group met regularly each term and supported their colleagues with observations and suggestions through collegiate conversations in line with the coaching process.

The aims of professional learning at Yarra Valley Grammar are to: • improve student learning outcomes through enhanced teaching practice, including the use of new interactive technologies such as the iPad • e mpower staff to improve their teaching practice by being data informed • promote reflective practice amongst teaching staff • encourage the sharing of resources and knowledge amongst staff

• nurture professional relationships and collegiality between staff both at school and within their professional organisations • p rovide opportunities for staff to update and improve their knowledge and understanding of their subject areas.

The professional learning requirements for Yarra Valley Grammar staff in 2013 were: • to complete a minimum of 30 hours of professional learning (pro rata for part time staff) in accordance with Yarra Valley Grammar guidelines and VIT registration requirements and to maintain records as evidence • to participate in a minimum of eight hours ICT training, eight hours data training, 10 hours coaching and subject related pedagogy, and a maximum of four hours of professional reading out of the minimum 30 hours total requirement • to report back and reflect on the professional learning opportunities provided in an appropriate forum • to be involved in the appraisal process conducted by the School.

Stewardship and governance Yarra Valley Grammar is a company limited by guarantee. Its directors form the School Board, which is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the School. The Board has identified three factors which are critical to the success of Yarra Valley Grammar. These are:

Staff In 2013, Yarra Valley Grammar employed 138 FTE teaching staff and 81 FTE non-teaching staff. The proportion of teaching staff retained from 2012 to 2013 was 87%. The percentage of male and female staff overall was 67% female and 33% male. The average attendance rate for teaching staff was 98.95% and there were no indigenous staff.

• culture of the School: the way in which values are brought to life, are sustained positively and are felt by all who are connected and interact with the School

Characteristics of the student body

• consistency of performance, action and delivery

Yarra Valley Grammar offers education from Early Learning through to Year 12. The student population in 2013 was 1,107, including 18 international students and four indigenous students. The student gender mix in 2013 was 59% male to 41% female.

• confidence of all stakeholders in the value, contribution, philosophy, strategies and impact of the School at an individual, family, community and societal level.

Parent, student and teacher satisfaction Staff in all levels of the School attend weekly staff meetings and have a number of professional development days and meeting days scheduled each term, providing opportunities for planning, sharing ideas and reporting on new developments in teaching and learning. Students also provide feedback to teachers as part of the professional development coaching (appraisal) process. New staff to the School are assigned a mentor and are encouraged to meet with their mentor throughout the year to discuss concerns should they arise. The Heads of Schools also meet with new staff to assist with the settling in process. JUNIOR SCHOOL An annual survey of parents in ELC is conducted which measures levels of satisfaction and provides valuable feedback. Parents and staff at all levels in the Junior School also communicate throughout the year to promote the relationship between the School and home. Students participate in surveys of teachers related to teacher performance in areas such as relationships, valuing a student, planning, catering for interests and knowledge of subject, and students engage regularly with their teachers in all aspects of their learning. The Year 6 students meet with the Head of School before progressing to Year 7 and also meet individually with the Head of Middle School to assist with the transition.

The Head of Junior School is always available to talk with parents and teachers should any needs or concerns arise and parents are encouraged to give feedback about all aspects of education and schooling at Yarra Valley Grammar.

MIDDLE SCHOOL During the early years of Middle School (usually after completing their first year of secondary school) a one on one interview with each Year 7 student and the Head of Middle School takes place to discuss subjects, grades, achievements, aspirations, friends, involvement in co-curricular activities and the School in general. The Middle School Student Representative Council (SRC) also gives students a voice and is made up of two students from each class group in Middle School. This group meets once a fortnight and discusses issues and matters under the headings of School Environment, Community Links and Tutorial Business. The Middle School Student Leadership Team is made up of 18 Year 9 students that represent areas including Community Links, Art and Design, Music, Drama, Sport and leadership. These students are directly responsible to the Head of School, Head of Year 9 or the Head of Department of their area. New students who begin at Yarra Valley Grammar in Year 8 or Year 9 are assigned student mentors through the Student Mentor Program. These student mentors look after the new students and give feedback to their Tutors and their Year Level Coordinator regarding how well the new student is settling in.

All Middle School Students (Years 7 – 9) are given an iPad to assist in their studies and communication with their teachers. The iPad provides a platform for students to email their teachers beyond classroom time to seek clarification of work, ask for extra assistance and arrange meeting times. Each iPad is installed with the App4diary, which is an electronic organiser where all homework is recorded. This app allows teachers to ‘push out’ homework and communications to all students they teach and there is a ‘Parent App’, which allows parents to see the homework set each night, to communicate with teachers and to sign off on work completed. The Head of Middle School is available to speak with students, staff and parents at any time and the office has a 24 hour turnaround policy on any parent concern. Middle School students also provide feedback regarding staff through the student survey component of the staff appraisal/performance development process.

SENIOR SCHOOL Senior School staff engage in conversations with parents and families at Open Days, parent information nights and school events and functions as well as at parent teacher interviews. Year 12 students meet with the Head of Senior School during first semester to discuss any Unit 3 and 4 results from the previous year as well as their current approach and progress. The Senior School Student Representative Council meets fortnightly and comprises of one student from each tutorial who is elected by their tutorial peers. Student issues ranging from school infrastructure, improvement, resources and learning requirements are discussed. Similarly, the Student Leadership Team including the School Captains, Prefects, Captains of Activities and House Captains meet fortnightly with the Principal and Head of Senior School to discuss school issues, their portfolio area matters and to plan future activities. Secondary School students also complete a Safe School survey at least three times per year to provide anonymous feedback about bullying and feeling safe around the School. New students have a mentor and they are contacted by their Tutor or Year Level Coordinator prior to commencing. In their early weeks, parents/ carers are contacted and the Head of Senior School and Head of Student Welfare meet with students to review their commencement.
