Hampton Senior High School has a proud tradition in our local community, built over 50 years, as an Independent Public School whose graduates are recognised for the strength of their character alongside the quality of their academic performance. The lure of our Gifted and Talented Dance Program and our accreditation as a Specialist School for ICT, Drama and Cheer Dance, attracts students from a wide range of schools across the State, with each adding to the diverse cultural, linguistic and aspirational nature of our school population. What keeps the students here, helps them thrive and promotes pride in the oft-used phrase “We are Hampton” is the professional knowledge, practice and engagement of our staff who endeavour to ensure everyone has the chance to live our school vision, Aspire, Innovate, Achieve. A key feature of our school, as demonstrated through feedback from parent, teacher and student surveys, is the positive relationships we build to provide the base from which our academic and pastoral care initiatives achieve results. Evidence of these results is found in the excellent Graduation and Attainment rates achieved by our Year 12 students along with the progressive performance of our cohorts in NAPLAN and OLNA. This 2015-2017 Business Plan, after an extensive period of consultation, outlines the school performance priority areas, aspirational targets, and accountability processes used to ensure the continued success of Hampton Senior High School, as measured against our Delivery and Performance Agreement with the Western Australian Department of Education, along with our shared desire as to see all students reach their full potential as happy, successful, active and character driven members of our society living our motto Labor Omnia Vincit (hard work conquers all) Mr Steven Beaton Principal

HAMPTON SHS | BUSINESS PLAN

For my first year as Hampton Senior High School‟s P & C President in 2016, it certainly has been an eventful and rewarding year. Having the reins passed down by Jacqui Otago who was in this position for 10 years started with some nervous moments, but as time goes on, I will become more confident in the role. The support I have had from Steve Beaton, Principal, and Tina Drinkell, Admin Assistant to the Principal, has been tremendous and all their help has been truly appreciated. This also applies to the ongoing commitment and help I have had from P&C members Nicole Hayes, Michelle Hughes, Samantha Mould and Robyn Faulknau. The Canteen profit in 2016 was down from 2015. However, in retrospect 2015 was a big year financially because of the first intake of the Year 7s increasing the school‟s numbers. Again, the efforts that are put in every year by the Canteen staff of Diane, Kris and Joan is nothing but remarkable. This year will be a priority for canteen improvements. I am hoping to have the external painting and seating done between Terms 1 and 2. The intended renovations are what I am hoping will boost the number of students and staff utilising the canteen and in turn this should increase our income for student resources.

2016 was the year Hampton Senior High School celebrated their 50th year in education.

This was especially significant for the P & C as we spent a lot of the year designing and ordering the various merchandise items to sell to celebrate this occasion. These items consisted of Water Bottles, Ceramic Mugs, Keyrings, Fridge Magnets and Calico Bags. For the day of the 50th Anniversary, the P & C set up a stand to sell this merchandise along with a mixture of baked treats, tea and coffee. It was a very significant opportunity for promoting the P & C in the community and with the current staff and students. The quantity of merchandise items we did sell was disappointing. However, we are still advertising these items on various mediums in the hope that we can continue to sell the remaining items this year. The P & C are still in a very good financial position and I‟m really looking forward to 2017 with much enthusiasm. This year we will continue to do more promotion within the school community, advertising on the website and Face Book pages. Hopefully we can welcome many new parents to become part of our important and valued committee. Jacquelyn Pavy President. Hampton Senior High School P & C Association

1.1 Student Engagement

We have a commitment to ensure that our students have every opportunity to capitalise on their strengths to achieve success in their endeavours. Through building a culture of learning and sustained success we will move towards our vision of Aspire, Innovate Achieve for every student.

1.2 Expectation of Achievement We will use system tools and a range of achievement data to plan and track each student‟s learning to ensure that all students have access to excellence in public education. This expectation will be evidenced through strategic partnerships with parent, teachers, students and the wider Hampton community.

1.3 Underpinning Philosophy of Professional Learning Communities Our school vision, Aspire, Innovate, Achieve is underpinned by a Professional Learning Community foundation which has the following three elements - Learning, Collaboration and Results. We will continue to move outside our own comfort zone by challenging ourselves to keep learning.

1.1.1 The Arts

Highlights: The Arts welcomed three new staff members to the team in 2016, Zoe Flint (Hampton Alumni) in Specialist Cheer Dance, Matthew Langfield in Media Arts and Nicole Whiteside in Visual Art. The distinctive school focus with Gifted and Talented Dance, Specialist Performing Arts (Drama) and Specialist Cheer Dance continued in 2016 along with inclusion of some new projects for both the school and broader community facilitated by Visual and Media Arts. These projects included Specialist workshops and testing, many performances by Dance and Drama in the Eric Strauss Performing Arts Centre, Cheer competitions, Project EDGE, Visual and Media Arts exhibition, the global „Morsbag‟ movement, where nearly 400 bags designed by Year 9 and 10 Visual Arts students were distributed to the local community at Bassendean Shopping Centre, Media students were the filming crew for a Department of Education training video and delivery of Media incursion activity for Sparx Early Learning Centre primary school students. The Arts team also contributed to the development and success of the 50th Celebrations throughout the year, including the development of the 50th logo, original 30 minute dance work „Decadance‟ (which addressed the development of both the school and the world over the last 5 decades and 90 white

painted boxes that were used to build a wall), Performing Arts Concert, Cheer displays, Theatre Sports and Contemporary Dance workshops for the community. Added to this was the commissioning of Perth artist Mel McVee to design and facilitate a large scale community mural that runs 42 metres along the C veranda and was also kindly supported by the City of Bayswater through the Community Arts Grant Program. Arts students also achieved great success across a range of entries into exhibitions and with competitions. The Arts team has also had a productive year implementing many features of the three year learning area operational plan, including Year 7 and 8 WA curriculum, the use of Connect and development of targeted graphic organisers, to name a few.

1.1.2 English 2016

Highlights There were a number of highlights in English during 2016. The inaugural Hampton Literature Festival took place in Term Three with four visiting authors and illustrators presenting talks and conducting workshops with all of the Year 7 and Year 8 cohort. This was run over two days and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Competition results were positive highlights also with winners coming in both the Sorry Day competition speech and poetry sections. Additionally, we had a record number of fifty-two students across Year 7 to Year 11 participate in this year‟s WABIAD (Write-a-book-in-a-day) competition. Of four teams entered into the Upper School division (Years 10 – 12) teams made the shortlisted top ten, and one of our teams finished second. This team – consisting of Year 10 and Year 11 students – attended the awards ceremony to receive their trophy proudly on display in the front office. In other areas the Hampton Annual Spelling Bee was conducted in Term Four, the fourth year it has been run, and with Years 7, 8 and 9 students vying off in heats to determine the overall winner. 2016 saw the introduction of the Externally Set Task for Year 12 General classes and our staff were pleased to achieve 100% comparability with the SCSA external markers. Also, in Years 11 and 12 ATAR all new courses were implemented for the first time: theme-based semester long units in keeping with best practice as seen at high-achieving TDS schools around Western Australia. This appears to have been a success with results – both in-class and exam – indicating such. Competitions

Of six teams entered in this year‟s WABIAD – three teams were shortlisted to the top ten Upper School Division, including one team who finished second overall

Year 8 Hampton students won the Sorry Day speech and poetry competitions: Jasmine Nelson and Sophie O‟Keeffe respectively

timed to coincide with national competitions for each of our disciplines of History, Geography, Economics and Civics and Citizenship for 2017. The Year 7 Market Day grew this year to be held in the main quad and involve the wider school community in terms of gathering market research for further analysis in class. Students from two Year 7 classes were involved in this event, and it is hoped it will grow to include all Year 7 classes in 2017. 2016 was also the year Mr Wilson organised the „Thoroughly Modern Millie‟ musical production, which ran in term three and was a huge success, with students, staff and the wider community attending the event. Achievements

Sufficient student interest to implement a new course - Year 11 Modern History General in 2017

The response on 23 November was excellent with nearly 20 primary students plus their parents and some of Specialist students attending as mentors. Two parents and ex-student also attended at mentors. A new relationship is being developed with EdConnect to recruit and support future volunteers as mentors

In the Year 10 and 9 Specialist classes – students developed their projects using Arduino, learning the programming, testing and creating the working models. As a result, next year, we will introduce this aspect of physical computing from Year 8 to build problem solving skills, engage students in practical activities (particularly boys) that are real

3D printing of simple robots to build rather than buy equipment. Demonstrating use of modern technology used in industry, financial management, creativity and innovation

The use of software such as Unity for game design has grown this year and will be further developed with the use of this program and SketchUp for the STEM project of Subs in Schools in 2017. This will take the initiative from a student personal project to a client focussed use.

1.1.6 Mathematics

Highlights

The ICAS mathematics competition was run again this year: Students achieved two distinctions, five credits three merits. Two teachers ran homework classes for students two nights per week after school, contributing to student‟s successful completion of courses

We ran practice NAPLAN testing as a precursor to formal NAPLAN for both year seven and year nine students. These tests were then analysed, and the analysis was to remedial teach in areas of weakness prior to actual NAPLAN testing. Results of testing for year seven students showed one student at band nine, 20 students at band eight or above, and only two students below the minimum standard. (3%) This was below the national average (4%). In year nine, fifty three achieved band eight or above and thus have achieved their numeracy graduation requirements. Of these fifty three students nine students achieved band nine, and four students achieved band ten. Only four students were below the national standard (3%) This was below the Australian average (5%).

Mathematics staff presented a display for the 50th birthday.

One Mathematics staff member was involved as a year coordinator for year 12 students.

1.1.7 Science

Highlights The Applied Science Program (ASP) has had a year of consolidation with the addition of numerous resources enabling more student centred projects. These include rollercoaster construction sets and data logging technology, solar car construction kits, robotic arms, EVE3 Lego robotics kits, and SUBS in schools kits. This resourcing complements the continued kitting out of A2 as a STEM workshop. Together they will be used to continue to develop the capacity for the ASP to deliver hands on and engaging projects for students to participate in. Our next aim is to work with the F1 in Schools project in 2017. As a Teacher Development School (TDS) in Science

we have continued to run professional learning for teachers around the state. This year has included trips to present in Albany and Merredin as well as numerous sessions in Perth. Several highlights include the establishment of the Morley Schools Network (MSN) Science hub at Hampton, meeting once per term to provide support to teachers in our local network of schools. We delivered our fifth short course in collaboration with the SWITCH program, facilitating primary trained teachers with Science backgrounds to transition to teaching high school science. This project has been considered so successful it has gained continued funding to continue into 2017. In 2016 we have continued Curriculum development. We have delivered Psychology as an ATAR and a General course for the first time, giving students greater subject choices in senior school. To further enhance student options we have also introduced Human Biology and Chemistry as General options for senior school students. These courses will run as Year 12 subjects for the first time in 2017. This gives students more potential pathways to consider whilst at school and provides a foundation for a wider variety of post-school options for all of our students. Achievements

Initiatives

The Applied Science Program continued to develop in 2016. With over 100 students participating in a variety of challenging projects learning a wide variety of skills. In 2017 we plan on further expanding student opportunities through investment in technology and participating in F1 in schools.

In our third year as a Teacher Development School for Science we continued to provide support for Science teachers across the state. In 2017, we intend to build stronger local links through the Morley Schools Network and build capacity of more staff members to develop as teacher leaders.

The Bright Sparks program continued to provide engaging and practical science classes to students from Hampton Park, Eden Hill, Weld Square and West Beechboro. In 2017 we will look to engage with more of our feeder primary schools in a variety of capacities.

The transformation of A2 into the STEM workshop will continue during 2017. The room will be fitted out with a variety of hardware to support the implementation of digital technology curriculum including digital

lathes, 3D printers and electronics equipment.

Our long term goal to engage more general pathway students in Science learning in year 11 and 12 developed significantly in 2016. Students have taken up opportunities in Chemistry, Human biology and Psychology resulting in over 100 senior school students participating in general pathway courses, many of whom are taking multiple sciences.

In 2016, we made an increased effort to invest in technology to facilitate learning in the science classroom. This included investment in data logging infrastructure to increase the quality of experimental data with a particular focus on the physics. A second example is the investment in robotics and the EV3 kits that will provide students with an engaging hands-on introduction to robotics and programming.

Collaboration with other STEM areas in the school was promoted in 2016 and we will look to build on this in 2017 by sharing ideas, expertise and pedagogy to collaborate on a cohesive approach to STEM education at Hampton.

2.1 Celebrate Success We have a commitment to ensuring that our students have access to nationwide essential systems and are well equipped to take advantage of the possibilities of new initiatives.

2.1.1 Student Services The Student Services team at Hampton provides support for all students in the first instance by monitoring their academic achievement, attendance, behaviour and mental health and well-being. Adopting the approach of looking after the whole child, we implement a range of interventions, programs, individual plans and strategies to ensure that every student is well placed to achieve to the best of their potential. In 2016, Student Services underwent a restructure in an attempt to maximize the capacity of our staffing allocation as well as drawing on the skill sets of our personnel in order to refine and streamline our strategic operations. The addition of the roles of Attendance Coordinator and Events Coordinator were intended to provide Year Coordinators with greater freedom to focus on academic tracking whilst maintaining careful monitoring of attendance and providing students with an attractive range of incentives to encourage positive behaviour. Our 2016 Strategic Plan continued to address our primary focus of Student Engagement, which underpins several priority areas identified in the school‟s Business Plan. The strategies and operational processes were developed specifically to deliver four key targets for improvement. These were:

Improved attendance

Improved awareness of mental health issues

Increased positive behaviours

Better management of pastoral care and academic tracking plans.

IMPROVED ATTENDANCE The analysis of longitudinal data (based on Semester 2 collection periods) from 2015 – 2016 indicates that our rate of attendance went from 86.4% in 2015 to 84.5% in 2016, which, while just below the State average, compares favourably with like schools. In this instance, I would like to acknowledge the work of Jill Thompson, who in her role as Attendance Coordinator, case managed students whose attendance was identified as at risk indicated and moderate. This involved the full range of interventions including sending letters for Attendance Phases 1 through 4, case conferences with parents and support agencies, home visits and developing individual Attendance Improvement Plans. For those students identified as severely at risk, students were referred to the Student Engagement Team, or in the case of Senior School students, the Participation Coordinator. The use of reward incentives such as Vivomiles, extra-curricular events and Good Standing continued to be effective in promoting improved and consistent attendance among the majority of our students.

Attendance Rates

Hampton WA Public Schools 2014 87.0% 86.9% 2015 89.6% 87.9% 2016 88.3% 87.7%

IMPROVED AWARENESS OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES The Mental Health Working Party, led by School Psychologist Karen Johnson and comprising of representatives from all Learning Areas, continued to lead the school in developing its knowledge and understanding of mental health issues. Following the pattern of previous years, two whole school events: National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence and RUOK Day were organized and coordinated by the MHWP. Both events, in the usual form of a dress up day, lunchtime activities and topic-relevant lessons, were well-received by students and staff and invited the participation of a wide range of external agencies including Headspace, Youth Focus, the City of Bayswater Youth Advisory Committee, the Salvation Army, WA Aids Council and The Freedom Centre. A partnership formed with Act Belong Commit also helped to maintain the profile of mental health and

well-being within the school community outside of those events. These events received positive coverage in the local community newspapers and generated positive feedback via social media.

Over the course of the year, targeted programs aimed at specific groups with identified needs were implemented. These included PASH and Aussie Optimism as well as courses aimed at building social skills and resilience. Year 10 students attended presentations by Dr YES, run by medical students to address a range of mental health issues, including anxiety and eating disorders. At a whole school level the MHWP also began the process of rolling out the MindMatters program for staff and students. In addition, we were able to launch our first Drumbeat program with Year 7 students, thanks to local MP Dave Kelly who provided financial support to purchase the African drums required. Our ongoing partnership with the UWA School of Social Work saw another two lots of students complete their practical work placements in Student Services. All of these students received training in the Gatekeeper course to equip them with the necessary skills to provide risk assessments for students who presented with suicidal ideation or non-suicidal self-injury. In addition, there was significant progress made in our long-term plan to establish Hampton SHS as a community hub through the development of a comprehensive asset map of the school by these students. IMPROVED POSITIVE BEHAVIOURS The suspension data from 2016 shows that the total number of suspensions increased from 151 in 2015 to 177 in 2016. The category of behaviour that led to the most suspensions was in verbal abuse and intimidation of staff, which reflects a greater focus on supporting classroom practices with interventions by Student Services Managers. The involvement of the Managers in the Return from Suspension process allowed for a greater degree of restorative justice to take place between teacher and student. In other

categories, there was a reduction of incidents of physical assault or intimidation of other students. Our use of the Vivomiles program continued to provide staff members with a convenient means of rewarding students for positive behaviour. Students who demonstrated traits embodied by our Code of Conduct (Courtesy, Cooperation, Consideration) and our school vision of Aspire, Innovate and Achieve were recognized not only through the day-to-day allocation of Vivo points but also through P&C awards and the Semester Vision Awards, which also utilized the Vivomiles program for nominations, alongside recognition of high academic achievers. Another example of the further embedding of Vivomiles into our positive behaviour strategies is the “Little Wins” initiative which was devised by Daniel Lambrinidis as a way of not only recognizing improved behaviour and efforts from students but also providing the opportunity for staff members to share those success stories with each other. In addition, the use of daily and weekly behaviour monitoring targeting specific desired behaviours in students was effective in monitoring and improving outcomes for those students. Other programs such as Bike Club on Fridays and Breakfast Club on Thursdays continued to help encourage behaviour improvement, adherence to dress code and appropriate social skills. BETTER MANAGEMENT OF ONGOING PASTORAL CARE PROGRAMS 2016 saw Student Services continue to support for our Indigenous students through Follow the Dream and the aspirant Indigenous Extension Program. Individualized support, documented plans and weekly meetings with our FTD Coordinator Libby Elphick and AIEO Kateena Narrier allowed us to track the progress of each student and provide timely interventions where deemed necessary. We celebrated NAIDOC week with five days of activities that engaged the whole school in recognizing the rich cultural history and contribution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our community. The highlight of the week was the NAIDOC assembly Students at Educational Risk (SAER) were managed by Year Coordinators working in conjunction with Managers, meeting weekly to discuss individual cases, interventions and regular updates. While most of these students would be predominantly case- managed by Year Coordinators and Manager, students also accessed a range of support personnel, including the Student Support Worker, School Psychologist, Community Health Consultant and Learning Support Coordinator. Further support was provided in the running of a weekly Homework Club for an hour after school on Thursdays as well as access to ECU‟s YourTutor.com online after hours academic support service. Based on the regular feedback reports from YourTutor, students found the service of great benefit to their homework and

While we were fortunate to be able to continue our chaplaincy program with partial funding from YouthCare and the City of Bayswater, we were sad to farewell Samuel Boadi at the end of Term 1 as he returned to full time church ministry. In his place, we welcomed Didier Mutanda who very quickly took

on the chaplaincy role with great enthusiasm and easily established a positive rapport with Hampton students and staff. During the remainder of the year, Didier was successful in expanding the Breakfast club program and forged links with local community groups and businesses to ensure that the program was well supplied with funds and food to cater for our clientele. Most notably, he has worked with the Bethlehem Lutheran Church who have kindly supported us financially as well as practically with volunteers to help out on Thursday mornings. Throughout the year, Student Services continued to run events in which students were recognized for their achievements, not only in academic but also cultural, sporting and community activities. Year group and whole school assemblies continued to be used to promote aspects of our School Vision to students as well as showcasing student talent through performances. The Vision awards, which began in the previous year, were refined to recognise and reward student achievement, with the addition of prizes of engraved USBs and pens. Reward activities continued to be offered to students who maintained high levels of attendance and good behaviour.

The signature Year 12 events of the School Ball and Presentation Ceremony once again proved to be successful events at which Hampton students collectively acquitted themselves as an excellent representation of the school in a formal setting. For their organization and coordination of both events, Events Coordinator Gary Thirlwell and Denise Cullen are to be commended. FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR 2017 As a result of staffing changes at the end of this year, Student Services in 2017 will continue to draw upon enthusiastic and energetic personnel who are committed to caring for the wide range of student needs both within and beyond the classroom. The team will be comprised of a newly appointed Deputy Principal of Student Services as well as a group of new and dedicated Year Coordinators for each year group. The focus will remain on promoting academic excellence while improving attendance and behaviour with increased detailed analysis of data and enhancing our strategies on achieving the targets as set out in the four priorities of our strategic plan. We will also welcome the expansion of our physical space to encompass the adjoining K2 room which will provide for increased capacity to manage the traffic of students in the area as well as tend to their individual needs in a safe and welcoming environment. Finally, I would like to recognize the valued contribution made by Daniel Lambrinidis in his role as Student Services Manager (Middle School). Alongside the “Little Wins” initiative and the establishment of the Bush Rangers program, he has left a positive and lasting impact on Student Services and we wish him well in his new role as Head of Health and Physical Education. Cary Wong Student Services Manager

2.2 Improving Literacy and Numeracy We will use system data and a range of other achievement data to plan and track each student‟s learning to ensure that all students have access to excellence in public education. Our focus will be cross curricula and will be inclusive in curriculum. NAPLAN • NAPLAN practice sessions continued in 2015.

See English and Mathematics learning area reports for specific details.

• Targets set for NAPLAN were outlined in the English and Mathematics learning area reports.

• Year 7 and 9 NAPLAN practice tests were externally marked and analysed, highlighting strengths and weaknesses. This data was then used to direct remedial teaching prior to the NAPLAN testing in April. Alongside this, the analysis of NAPLAN data from previous years was used to target areas of weakness in cohorts.

Recognised areas of weakness such as writing and graphing became school-wide priorities leading to the implementation of specific literacy and numeracy strategies and the creation of posters to be displayed in all classrooms.

OLNA

Senior school students who had not passed OLNA were strategically placed into mentor classes to receive extra literacy and numeracy support on a weekly basis. In 2017, the OLNA intervention students will be split up into a literacy focused mentor class and a numeracy focused mentor class to aid the delivery of targeted support.

For additional support in mentor classes, the Literacy Coordinator prepared an OLNA Mentor Literacy Package (printable) and the Numeracy Coordinator distributed a Mental Maths package. The Literacy Coordinator trialed an online OLNA Support program in term four. This program will be purchased and rolled out to OLNA intervention students in 2017.

The Literacy and Numeracy Coordinators implemented weekly lunchtime OLNA practice sessions to support the OLNA intervention students. The students who attended experienced increased confidence and familiarity with OLNA questions. A number of these students improved and the practice sessions will continue in 2017.

Year ten students were given opportunities to practice the SCSA online practice tests in their English and Mathematics classes in the lead up to their first round of OLNA testing. This is to ensure familiarity with the OLNA set up and questions, as well as giving the students an opportunity to practise the necessary skills with the support of their teachers.

Whole school approach to literacy and numeracy

. The Literacy and Numeracy Coordinators continued in their roles in 2016: Ana Ivankovic was allocated 0.2 FTE for the role of Literacy Coordinator and Jaelee Parisotto was allocated 0.2 FTE for the role of Numeracy Coordinator. The coordinators worked together collaboratively throughout 2016, regularly presenting information to all staff during professional development days, leading the Literacy and Numeracy Committee and facilitating support sessions for students requiring literacy and numeracy intervention.

. The Literacy and Numeracy Committee continued to ensure a collaborative and common whole school approach to the implementation of literacy and numeracy strategies across the school. Members from each Learning Area shared samples of their exams in order to identify commonly used terms across different subjects. The Literacy Coordinator then collated that information into a ready-to-use glossary, accompanied by explanations of each term and distributed to staff. A „graphing practice sheet‟

was also designed and distributed to staff, to ensure a common and explicit approach to graphing throughout the school.

Common strategies for literacy and numeracy used in all learning areas.

The Literacy and Numeracy Coordinators agreed on ten strategies that were selected based on the identified areas of weakness displayed by our students in NAPLAN and OLNA, primarily sentence structure, vocabulary (glossary) and paragraphing in literacy and „Mental Maths‟ and interpreting statistical information in numeracy.

Highlights

A number of students from years ten to twelve improved between round one and round two of OLNA testing.

The Literature Festival was organized during the Literacy and Numeracy week in Term 3, in collaboration with Felicity Walker and the English Department. Famous authors visited the school, talked about their work and the importance of reading. Students then participated in a variety of „hands-on‟ workshops.

The Literacy Mania Competition – Literacy Coordinator has registered the students in lower school for the competition and the students in Years 7 and 9 came “Third in region”. We have received English board games as a prize and they have been placed in the Library for everyone to use.

The Literacy and Numeracy Coordinators distributed a survey to the Heads of Learning Areas in term four. The feedback obtained indicated that there was an increase in teacher awareness of the literacy and numeracy status of their students, teachers were encouraging students to access the extra support provided by the school, and literacy and numeracy strategies were regularly being employed throughout the various learning areas.

2.3 Pathway Development To enhance our students‟ learning outcomes, we will evaluate current practice and deliver crafted pathways and programs in all of our Learning Areas. These pathways will be promoted to parents and students to develop common understandings.

2.4 STEM Education To increase our students‟ chances of success in industry, the school will promote a whole school inter-disciplinary approach to STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Over the past five years our STEM leadership team has developed a whole school strategy by instituting creative opportunities for students and teachers to work with a range of external partners to bring real world learning into classrooms. As a result Hampton students have an array of opportunities to enhance their STEM curiosity and skill base via our Specialist ICT, Applied Science and Engineering programs alongside a full suite of ATAR/General STEM WACE courses. Through these initiatives we have built lasting and fruitful partnerships with a variety of partners including the Schools Pathway Program, CSIRO, Curtin University, SKM and Landgate. Our STEM Leaders have extensive experience presenting to and working alongside colleagues across the Metro area and the Wheatbelt Region through our Science and ICT TDS workshops. Our Bright Sparks Program is a successful initiative that sees primary school students (Year 6) and their teachers access our facilities and teaching expertise through structured, onsite, short courses that build the capacity of primary teachers in the Sciences and enhance student engagement in Science curriculum. The Bright Sparks program is well regarded in our local primary schools and has been the key driver in increased attendance numbers in our Applied Science Program. It builds on student curiosity and creativity to develop broader problem solving skills and critical analysis through team work as well as independent thinking. We would be seeking to work with community groups and schools to increase the exposure of the main tenets of the Bright Sparks program for the benefit of more primary school colleagues and students possibly through an outreach program in conjunction with Scitech. The Applied Science Program is an enrichment program for students in Years 7 to 10 focusing on enhancing students‟ educational experience by giving them access to practical professional settings and industry related opportunities. The ASP focuses on developing skills, which are highly valued in all professional workplaces, such as communication, collaboration and problem solving. The school has provided extra financial resources to invest in equipment required to engage students in interesting

practical experiences and integrated projects. Students have responded to this program with enthusiasm. Over 100 students are enrolled in the program giving up their own time after school as well as completing additional work fully engaging in the project work. The wider community has been very supportive with partnerships being established to support the development of various aspects of the program. Partners include ECU, Hanson, West Perth Rotary, Secondary Schools Pathways and Engineers Australia. Additionally, an Engineering focus was developed in partnership with SKM (now known as Jacobs) Engineering company. SKM supported the initial establishment of the program giving students access to professionals and professional environments. Each Year the ASP includes Engineering projects as part of their learning program making use of the links made to bring in consulting Engineers and other professionals to assist in the learning program. The major impacts these programs have had on our learning are two-fold. First, we have developed a focus on student engagement beyond doing something hands-on, fun and interesting and into meaningful learning by including accountability, assessment and supporting curriculum. Secondly, the importance of making links beyond the school within the wider community to support initiatives as they are developed. An activity in school is only the first step in engaging students in STEM pathways. Getting students to visit professional environments and professionals into schools allows the interaction between student and professional, taking their potential future from the theoretical into the practical experience.

Priority 3: Excellence in Teaching Practice

3.1 An Effective Workforce We believe that high quality teaching is vital to student engagement and learning outcomes. Systematic practices that support quality teaching will be provided. Professional Learning will develop shared understandings and set agreed standards together with an emphasis on improving classroom practice and embedding ICT in our classrooms. 3.2 Developing Classroom Practice Our classroom practice will be underpinned by the use of the AITSL Standards to facilitate teachers selecting goals for improvement. Professional Learning Improving Student Learning through Classroom Observation and Feedback Five members of staff were involved in this professional learning which is based on current research about educational change, effective professional learning and its link to student learning and the key attributes of an effective school culture. It provided staff with opportunities to reflect on our current practices and examine their role to ensure that teacher quality is developed with the focus on building capacity for student learning. A model for future use at Hampton was proposed consisting of the following key elements:

Strengthen the Performance Management processes through Coaching Conversations

Professional Learning around the pedagogical framework (based on existing teaching and Learning framework

Classroom observation through peer observations (swivels to be purchased to facilitate reflective practice)

Student involvement through review (What did you learn? How did you learn it? What aspects of teaching did you find most useful?).

STEM and Classroom Observation A group of STEM teachers have been involved in classroom observations. Rather than providing comprehensive non-judgemental recordings of observed practice, a version of the PMI process has been employed using 3 windows: things different, things similar and things interesting. The focus has been on coming together to tease out common areas, view the sorts of teaching practice and what these might indicate for forward planning, particularly with the introduction of a STEM elective in mind.

3.3 Curriculum Development To maintain the breadth and depth of curriculum we will develop innovative and thorough approaches to our professional learning, counselling processes, planning and delivery of curriculum. By 2018 we will have:

Cross curricular activities

Maintained our Teacher Development School status in Science and ICT √

Differentiated the curriculum, making use of such tools as Ability based learning ABLEWA

Australian Curriculum fully implemented √

Staff, students and parents using Connect √

Consistency of course outlines, programs, task outlines and marking keys

Delivered and implemented new WACE courses for Year 11 and Year 12. √

3.4 ICT in the Classroom Students will learn to use ICT (Information Communication Technology) effectively to investigate, communicate, create, problem solve and work collaboratively across the curriculum. We will utilise expertise of staff to provide professional learning to foster use of digital technologies in classrooms.

4.1 Distinctive Programs Hampton enjoys a tradition of being a true “local” school with a loyal parent following. To further differentiate Hampton Senior High School from surrounding schools is that we will promote the profile of the excellence achieved in our distinctive programs. Our school‟s distinctiveness will be used to maximise student participation. Our programs include DOE accredited:

Gifted and Talented Dance

Specialist Information Communication Technology

Specialist Performing Arts

Specialist Cheer Dance Other school based programs of excellence include:

LOV Beauty,

Bright Sparks, Applied Science Program

Project Edge

CoderDojo

Engineering Program

Follow the Dream

4.2 Programs that cater for Differences Hampton is committed to providing excellence in teaching practices to develop individual strengths and abilities. Students will have access to a range of programs to maximize their potential. Programs will be delivered in a caring and supportive environment to meet the needs of the students.

4.2.1 STEP The Senior Transition and Engagement Program at Hampton is in its eighth year of operation. Currently there are thirteen students in the program, six year twelves and seven year elevens. Selection of students for the program is done in conjunction with the deputy principal, the senior school year coordinators and SSEP staff. This process has served us well and continues to do so. Regular Student Services meetings which include SSEP staff ensure exchange of up to date information about the status of at risk students. Academic Achievement Both year groups achieved a C grade or better for both English and Maths. Both year groups were given the opportunity to attend Workplace Learning. There was varied success in this area. For the most part the students established sound working relationships with their supervisors. Life Skills for Senior Schools is no longer an endorsed program but we are continuing to

include it in our curriculum as it a course of great value to our students. STEP Vegetable Garden The garden has been maintained and produced a good amount of saleable goods last year. The profits were reinvested in the garden. The students‟ participation was quite enthusiastic and we managed to get them all involved in one aspect of the garden or another. The items we grow and sell to staff also help us with a unit of competency from their Certificate Two Deliver a Service to Customers. The students organise the business side of the garden by advertising, taking orders, making up orders,

receiving and managing incoming money and dealing with the staff/customers We were lucky enough to receive a donation of garden equipment from Masters in Bayswater which added to our collection of well used equipment. Parent satisfaction We have had excellent support and feedback from parents/guardians of the students in our program. We have been able to maintain very effective communication with parents and this has been invaluable to both STEP staff and the parents. Past Students Our past students keep in touch with us and often come in to visit. These visits are beneficial to the present students as the past students have much to offer in the way of advice and are great examples of what you can achieve. We will strive to continue to provide an alternative educational setting which caters for at risk students that would not otherwise experience success in senior schooling. We will continue to work with students on an individual level in a holistic way.

4.2.2 Follow The Dream: Partnerships for Success 2016 was a record breaking year for the Follow The Dream: Partnerships for Success (FTD) program at Hampton Senior High School. For the first time in the 11 years that the program has been located in this area, Hampton had multiple students across years 11 and 12 undertaking ATAR studies. In fact there was a total of 5 ATAR students which is outstanding! Year 12 ATAR student Brianne Yarran achieved excellent results and after graduating with her WACE, Attainment, a Certificate II in Sports and Recreation and her ATAR she made the choice to begin her tertiary studies at UWA in 2017. Fellow year 12 graduate, Rene Reddingius, achieved his WACE and Attainment as well as a Certificate II in Outdoor Recreation and a Certificate II in Sports and Recreation. Rene has chosen to begin his tertiary studies at Edith Cowan University in 2017. The futures for these students are bright and full of adventure! The Graham (Polly) Farmer Foundation and the Department of Education are the co-partners in providing the resources for Hampton SHS to have a FTD program, with a coordinator to case manager students and an after school learning centre filled with qualified, motivated and caring tutors, as well a wide range of extra opportunities for students in the program. In 2016 we had 26 Hampton FTD students who committed themselves to receive after school tuition during the year. Amongst these students there was an average school attendance of 85% across the board, with two students who attended school every day of the school year and achieved 100%. Furthermore, 12 of these FTD students are members of the Gifted and Talented Dance Program and take on extra leadership and before and after-school commitments connected to this. Some of the most memorable opportunities in 2016 for our FTD students included: visits to UWA, Curtin University and ECU; Interstate trips for students to: the University of NSW Winter School, Melbourne University Murrup Barak Leadership Experience and the United Nations Youth National Conference in Brisbane; the UWA Year 12 Leadership Camp and the UWA Year 12 WACE Revision Camp. Many of our FTD students also participated and performed traditional Noongar dance and represented their beautiful culture in performances at: National Sorry Day; our school NAIDOC and Reconciliation week events; the AFL Indigenous Round game at Patterson‟s Stadium; the WA Youth Awards Event at Crown and at many local schools. Students displayed outstanding leadership and public speaking skills as participants in these cultural programs and received wide community recognition. The year was topped off with outstanding year 12 FTD student Brianne Yarran being acknowledged for her brilliance as the recipient of a WA Youth Award in the category of Commissioner for Children and Young Peoples Participate Award. Congratulations to

Brianne for being recognised for the ways she has gone above and beyond to share her talents and educate her peers and inspire all of us in the process.

4.3 Extra Curricular Activities At Hampton SHS we work to develop the whole child, not just the academic child. We will provide all students with opportunities to value add to their academic education through the continued programme of extracurricular activities.

4.3.1 Thoroughly Modern Millie In 2016 Hampton Senior High School performed the popular stage musical Thoroughly Modern Millie with music by Jeanine Tesori and lyrics by Dick Scanlan. This musical first opened on Broadway in 2002 and won the Tony Award that year for Best Musical. It is set in 1922 and follows the adventures of a young Kansas girl, Millie Dillmount, and her quest of finding a rich husband in New York City but gets caught up in a white slavery racket. Over 25 students demonstrated a genuine interest in this year‟s musical that featured a range of character parts. Two students had the difficult role of portraying the characters of Ching Ho and Bun Foo and had to speak almost entirely in Cantonese and sing in Mandarin! Singing auditions were also very important as at least six of the main characters had solo songs or major parts of songs that required solo singing. By Week 6 of Term 1 the roles were allocated by the director, Mr Wilson, and the songs were soon being taught to the principals. At the end of Term 1 there was a major drama as the Year 12 girl who was to portray the lead character was forced to leave the show due to her many commitments and some reshuffling of the cast was necessary. This saw another Year 12 student, Lelina Hee, take on the role of Millie, Abbie Dorman take on the role of Mrs Meers and it was necessary to bring in a recently graduated Hampton student, Mariam Wali Ali, to portray Muzzy Van Hossmere. Further drama continued towards the end of Term 2 when the Year 11 student portraying Ching Ho was also forced to leave the production due to commitments but it was wonderful to see another ex-Hampton student, Jimi Mooney, willing to step into the role at such short notice. An enthusiastic cast performed the show to some fascinated Year 6 students from neighbouring primary schools on the Monday and Tuesday matinee performances of Production Week. They then performed to paying audiences on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, August 4, 5 and 6. The final leads were Lelina Hee – Year 12 (Millie Dillmount), Caleb Walcot – Year 11 (Jimmy Smith), Shannon Clarke – Year 11 (Miss Dorothy Brown), Abbie Dorman – Year 10 (Mrs Meers) and Samuel Bourke – Year 10 (Trevor Graydon). The cast also

included many students from Years 9, 10 and 11 as well as our French exchange student from Cannes, Emilie Magaud! Mr Wilson was both the director and musical director and accompanied the students live on the piano each night. Former student, Tiarna Clarke, was responsible for some fancy choreography that captured the Charleston feel of the era while Jake Newby added a new dimension to the production with his set design and construction. Ann Ridley once again did a magnificent job with costumes and even sourced some of these on her trip to Hong Kong earlier in the year. Year 10 student, Bridget Hughes, stepped up to be stage manager as part of her certificate course in the Arts. Thoroughly Modern Millie continued Hampton Senior High School‟s commitment to performing quality musical theatre from Broadway and off-Broadway that has seen recent productions of some lesser known gems as Lucky Stiff, Ruthless: The Musical and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. It is envisaged that the annual school musical production will continue into 2017 and with only one Year 12 student involved in Thoroughly Modern Millie there should be plenty of talent available!

4.3.2 NAIDOC NAIDOC at Hampton SHS was a week-long festival of events allowing our students and wider school community to share and celebrate in so many of the significant and beautiful aspects of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture: learning; growing and developing respect, pride and love for our First Australian culture. A NAIDOC Hall of Fame was set up in the library with over 50 remarkable Indigenous Australians who have impacted on our current society. We enjoyed both an

Indigenous All Stars Vs Non-Indigenous All Stars Basketball and Football game. Participation and competition were hard-fought and the sportsmanship was brilliant to witness! Special guests from Perth Demons Football Club helped make the footy game extremely competitive. We also enjoyed a Noongar Hip Hop dance workshop in the gym with many deadly moves on display and great participation from students! The week culminated with our school‟s NAIDOC Assembly which was an outstanding display of our own Indigenous students‟ pride in their culture. Hampton students performed traditional Noongar dances, both male and female, and Year 12 Noongar student Brianne Yarran choreographed and presented a combined staff and student „Reconciliation Dance‟, promoting her desire to have all Australians enjoy and share Noongar culture. The highlight of the day for many was having Noongar Senior Leader Dennis Simmons engage almost half of the school in a final dance performance – the Weitj or Emu dance. It was amazing to witness the unity of all cultures coming together to experience and enjoy traditional Noongar practices.

2016 FINANCIAL REPORT With the Student Centred Funding Model based on student numbers attending Hampton SHS, in 2016 we received an allocation of $10,017,068 in our One Line Budget. This was distributed to Salaries $8,915,881 and Cash $1,101,187 We received a base allocation for each student, and additional funding for students with characteristics such as disability, Indigenous status, English as a Second Language and social disadvantage. Using the flexibility of the one-line budget, Hampton SHS has been able to make local evidence-based decisions regarding which areas to target our resources to produce the best outcomes to meet the educational needs of our students, and ways to provide support for them to work towards achieving their highest potential. We also receive additional funds for Targeted Initiatives such as Gifted and Talented Dance, Follow the Dream program and Teacher Development School programs in Science and ICT. The cash budget is used for the day-to-day running of the school and in providing resources for our variety of programs to be run. In addition to the education grant, the school collected local revenue in the form of Contributions and Charges from the school community, bank interest, facilities hire fees, specialised grants from other sources and other miscellaneous revenue. In 2016 the collection rate of Subject Charges was 63.5% for Years 7 – 10, and 88% for Years 11 – 12 (including Secondary Assistance Scheme). Voluntary contributions amounted to $54,516.38 (see chart: Revenue – Cash and Salary Allocation). Special thanks to our parents/guardians for their important contributions, which enable us to provide enriching programs and high levels of support for our students. As can be seen on the chart: Expenditure – Cash and Salary, the highest area of expenditure was into the Curriculum area, providing resources and learning tools for subjects and supporting students through their learning journey. Next highest areas of expenditure were in the utilities (power, water, rubbish removal etc.), and upkeep of the facilities of the school, both current and in planning for the future (Reserves)

Projectors installed or upgraded in 5 classrooms

E-boards installed in two areas

The school spent $377,420.88 on these major works and a further works to the value of $101,311.00 that were quoted and authorised, but not completed before the end of the year. These committed funds were carried over into the 2017 financial year. Summary The Department of Education (at the direction of the WA Treasury) has set specific spending targets to reduce public schools cash reserves. The current policy is to reduce our carryover of funds from one year to the next to 3% With this in mind, our school is budgeting our resources very carefully to ensure the staffing allocation is sufficient to run our committed programs to ensure quality and variety in learning choices for our students, and that the school facilities and resources are kept in good repair for the pride of our staff and students who attend Hampton Senior High
