PCYC has undertaken a significant program of renewal since 2002. That renewal program has focused on upgrading existing clubs, establishing new clubs and growing engagement by young people and the community in Club activities. 2010 saw two important developments for PCYC. Most members of the community know of the work of Police and community volunteers who run safe and fun dance events for young people in the form of Blue Light dances. Although many people have always thought Blue Light dances were a service provided by PCYC, in fact the activities have previously been overseen by the NSW Police Force. In 2010, the Commissioner for Police asked if PCYC would take responsibility for that oversight. We were more than happy to do so. Police Officers will still run local Blue Light dances. However, from 2010 PCYC will directly manage the work of Blue Light and has committed itself to strengthen and grow Blue Light events. The 2010 Annual Report has therefore, for the first time, a report on the work of Blue Light volunteers in over a dozen communities across NSW. As outlined in previous Annual Reports, PCYC has been undertaking a significant program of renewal since 2002. That renewal program has focused on upgrading existing clubs, establishing new clubs and growing engagement by young people and the community in Club activities. A significant objective has also been, however, to gradually improve the financial strength and sustainability of PCYC’s work and organisation. The second major development reported in the 2010 report is the very positive financial performance achieved for the year. PCYC held the strong growth in activities and Club membership it has achieved over the last several years. It continued to support the work of the NSW Police Force in working with young offenders and its programs in youth crime prevention. This report provides an insight into the work of our Clubs, the programs run by the Police Officers in and through PCYC’s, and the achievements of our young members.
PCYC could not have continued this work through its 73rd year without the supports of its tens of thousands of community supporters. Our improved sustainability has been, to a significant degree, reflected the increase in support we have received from community members. We take this chance to thank all our supporters – our volunteers, our donors and all those who participate in our fundraising – for their generosity. We trust they will be proud of the work they support as recounted in this report.

From sports like basketball, gymnastics and archery to band nights, dance and performing arts, each year PCYC gives thousands of young people the chance to get involved. Our activities offer unique benefits – promoting health, fitness, new friendships and social networks. In 2010 a number of new activities were added to our already long list. In fitting in with local needs, PCYC uses a range of sports and arts activities to engage young people and deliver positive outcomes.
The year also saw major growth and development in activities as diverse as judo, archery, mini-bikes and boxing, all now going from strength to strength.

Sports and arts activities are a key way PCYC meets our mission to ‘Get young people active in life’. The growth in our structured activities introduces young people to new opportunities to become active, try something new, or join in a team and play or compete regularly. Whether it’s an individual sport, a team sport or one of our many popular arts activites, like dance, music or Rock Eisteddfod, there’s something for everyone. This year in Rock Eisteddfod, for the first time in 30 years, this national event was unable to run due to a lack of funds in the midst of the global financial crisis. Fortunately organisers have indicated that the competition will be relaunching in 2011, so the many young people and communities who are able to participate in the event through PCYC will again be able to join in.

Gymnastics
International representatives
A healthy, fun activity
Senior gymnasts from a number of clubs formed part of a performance team who represented Australia at the prestigious Blume Festival in Gran Canaria (Canary Islands). Gymnasts from across NSW were selected after undergoing a rigorous audition process. Rebecca Marriott and Rachel Martin (PCYC Taree) and Penny Schubert (PCYC Newcastle) were part of the team, while Sarah and Justin Hayes (PCYC Taree) were team coaches. The Australian team toured the UK prior to the event, running workshops with children in many of the local communities they visited.
In 2010 our gymnastics activities grew in both the number of gymnasts enrolled in classes and in the number of clubs participating. Gymnastics is now offered in 28 clubs throughout NSW. This year we also saw major growth in Kindergym and in casual and recreational gymnastics for infants 2-5 years, and for children 5–10 years old. The Gymnastics State Championships were hosted at PCYC Maitland in October with over 250 gymnasts competing over two days. Competing clubs included Dubbo, Lake Illawarra, Lithgow, Newcastle, Taree, Maitland, Lake Macquarie and Cessnock. Competition gymnastics were of a high standard, with young participants displaying great sportsmanship, competitive spirit and camaraderie. The selected representative athletes were: Champion Women’s Gymnastics Club: PCYC Lake Illawarra Champion Men’s Club: PCYC Cessnock Champion Trampoline Club: PCYC Cessnock Fay Woods Perpetual Award for Coach of the Year: Anne Sheehan, PCYC Lake Illawarra 6
The tour also offered older athletes a chance to continue to participate in the sport, mentoring and encouraging young people to lead healthier lifestyles, while developing an appreciation for other people and cultures in the world.
Archery
PCYC Griffith worked with Narrandera High School to organise archery as well as other sports activities with the aim of developing better interaction local young people and Police.
Strong growth and performances 2010 brought forward a great year for PCYC Archery, with competitions and camps for young members and a strong increase in the number of new instructors in our Clubs. The year also saw the hosting of the inaugural PCYC State Championships, and participation by Clubs grew to 26 locations that now offer the sport. Many Clubs have developed a large member base who not only enjoy archery, but are beginning to join in other PCYC activities. This year PCYC Archery competed in Archery NSW and Archery Australia events, and there were some excellent results shot at the PCYC Inter-Club competition. At the PCYC State Championships, Clubs were given the opportunity to compete on their home range, using the exact same range conditions and rules, and reducing the financial barriers for many young people that would otherwise mean they were unable to participate. The success of this event sets the format as a model for the future. Dubbo’s Lexi Hunter, 11, moved from the introductory program to an advanced program, competing at state and national events. Winning the Archery NSW State Indoor Event, she came 4th in the Archery Australia National Indoor event, in the 11 years age group. Lexi also tried her hand at the Field archery and won the ABA State 3D and Northern NSW ABA 3D event – an outstanding result for all involved. PCYC Archery State Titles 2010 Grade

State Titles Results
A year of great achievements
PCYC Lake Illawarra hosted the PCYC NSW Amateur State Titles at Shellharbour Workers Club in March. The tournament attracted boxers from 19 Clubs from across NSW, and gave PCYC boxers a chance to compete in a professionally run competition at a large venue with a variety of age, weight and experience divisions.
2010 was a stellar year for many PCYC boxers, with success at all levels – from Club tournaments to state and national titles. A number of PCYC boxers achieved gold medals at the 2010 National Golden Gloves in Queensland, facing tough competition in Australia’s biggest amateur tournament. PCYC gold medalists included Kaye Scott (PCYC Hornsby), Jai Opetaia, Satali Tevi-Fuimouna and Willis Meehan (PCYC Umina), and George Kambosis, Tim Tszyu and Valentine Komdakov (PCYC St George). A NSW PCYC team was also selected to travel to Queensland and win back the State of Origin trophy that was controversially lost in 2009. The trophy returned to NSW in an emphatic style with a 5-2 victory, and leaves the ledger with NSW PCYC leading Queensland with a 3-1 series lead. Of note were boxers Paul Duckworth and Rod Miller (PCYC North Sydney), and Satali Tevi-Fuimoano, Jasper Scannell, Jordan Bunder and Ben Ryan (PCYC Campbelltown). Former PCYC Moree boxer Cameron Hammond represented Australia at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi in the 69kg division. This is a fantastic achievement by Cameron who trained out of the club for many years. Cameron also won an Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) scholarship. Junior Boxing In 2010 PCYC Boxing commenced grading of junior boxers in a program designed to further develop their skills. In the first intake, 25 young boxers from Blacktown, Wollongong, Umina, Lake Illawarra and St George completed their Level 1 Grading at PCYC St George. The initiative has been well received and proven effective, with 3 Australian and 5 State Champions having moved up through the ranks.

PCYC Industrie Titles Boxing continues to be one of our most popular sports for men and women of all ages. The year also saw the inaugural PCYC Industrie Titles, offering young people the chance to compete in a championship format. Sponsored by Industrie Clothing, the event is being considered as a fixture in the annual boxing event calendar. Boxing for Fitness At PCYC Fairfield-Cabramatta, Boxing for Fitness continues to run as a school sports activity 3 days a week. The activity also runs on 4 evening sessions, under the instruction of Jenette Bittar. the first PCYC Instructor to obtain her Certificate II in Fitness with PCYC. Here, Boxing for Fitness continues to be ever-popular and one of the club’s fastest growing activities.

PCYC Mini Bikes Penrith District This year PCYC Minibikes at Penrith made a tough start to the year with the annual ‘Sign-Up Day’ moved to the front of Nepean Raceway as torrential rain saw the Minibike grounds totally inundated. This also meant that subsequently track conditions and mud put a lot of new riders off. Conditions in the wet make it especially hard for new riders. By the time registrations were complete, the Club had 160 riders for the year, of which 89 were new. Overall, 2010 turned out to be a big year for PCYC Minibikes, hosting both the Penrith Interclub competition and the State Titles. These are both major events, and as well as these, the Club ran regular 12 point score days, and also 6 Interclub Championships. The Penrith Minibikes club competes regularly against minibike clubs at Blacktown, Baulkham Hills, Hornsby, Sutherland and Ku-ring-gai.

The Club now has 35 riders that hold a Motorcycling Australia (MA) License, a qualification needed to compete in the Interclub Championships. This year 3 committee members completed the MA coaching course, so they can now license test our riders. The Club also grew from 13 to the 33 riders that represented Penrith in the State Titles. At the 2010 Interclub, Penrith took podium places at every level, as well as at the Minikhana Club (junior riders) and the State Titles. It was a clean sweep and represents our greatest success for many years. The State Titles were a test for all riders. The first day had temperatures of over 30 degrees, plus dust, and on the Sunday, the heavens opened with rain turning the grounds to mud. The success of Penrith Minibikes is a testament to the work and commitment of the volunteers, parents and a community committed to helping young riders develop skills, teamwork, friendships and self-confidence. From organising ride days, track licensing, canteen, working bees, track maintenance and sponsorship, the tasks are endless, but the rewards are immeasurable.
KidzCare
The PCYC KidzCare service is validated by a National Quality Assurance and Accreditation process.
PCYC child-care service PCYC KidzCare continued to grow throughout 2010 with an additional 4 vacation care services opening at Blacktown, Singleton, Port Stephens and Albury. Vacation care programs, run during school holidays, attracted a total of around 450 children a day, with enjoyable activities ranging from basketball, futsal, cricket, gymnastics, games, crafts and cooking to a variety of fun and interesting local excursions.
Left and below: Children from kindergarten to year 6 enjoy a wide range of activities.
A review of PCYC child-care services was undertaken at the beginning of 2010. Through this PCYC adopted a focus on continuous quality improvement as the foundation of its growing service to kids. For PCYC KidzCare, growth is set to continue into 2011, as we look to extend after-school care services in strategic locations.

Burn Rubber Burn
Life and career skills program
Physical disability program
PCYC is a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) under the Australian Quality training framework. The PCYC Institute works to support the PCYC mission by providing life and career skills, and helping run fun, safe activities. In 2010, over 400 students achieved a qualification through the Institute. Of these, 250 were First Aid certificates, while 250 participated in safety training. Fifty graduates, all under 18 years, attained a Certificate II in Community Recreation, together with the valuable life and employments skills that go with this qualification.
In 2010 Burn Rubber Burn (BRB) membership grew to 88 members over four facilities, with PCYC Penrith becoming the home of BRB’s fourth site. This year the program was also successful in the securing of a partnership with the Lifetime Care & Support Scheme, a NSW government initiative that provides treatment, rehabilitation and attendant care services to people severely injured in motor accidents in NSW.
Fit communities are strong communities 2010 also saw the successful launch of Certificate III in Fitness, ushering in a new era of PCYC activities to assist Clubs in the goal of getting more young people active. This cutting edge, industry-leading qualification allows PCYC to conduct fitness training as a part of new programs and in a variety of new formats and locations. As PCYC’s graduates in the Certificate III in Fitness filter out across NSW, many are already having a dramatic impact on their local community. In Cabramatta, graduates such as Jenette Bittar are teaching up to 6 classes a week, including school groups, teenagers and adults, with interests from cardio and resistance training to cardio-boxing classes. In future, the PCYC Institute aims to run the course in the Hunter or south-coast regions.
Our partnership with Lifetime Care will greatly assist with the longevity of the program and strengthen the network of partnerships and communication that BRB has in the disability sector. BRB Participants 2010 PCYC Club

De-tag is one of many PCYC initiatives that educate young people about graffiti issues in the community. Below: PCYC Sutherland staff work with the local council officers in education and clean-up sessions.
De-Tag Graffiti Education Program Following the 2010 amendments to the NSW Graffiti Control Act (2008), Magistrates in NSW began to issue Community Clean Up Orders to graffiti offenders. Together with the NSW Department of Justice & Attorney General, PCYC worked to develop a range of educational resources to support the new legislation. These resources include a documentarystyle film with six modules, designed to engage young graffiti offenders and educate them on the consequences of their actions.

PCYC Judo A fun and skillful sport 2010 has been another great year for young participants in this fun, rewarding and highly-skilled sport. At PCYC Sutherland, the ‘JudoSharks’ club this year boasted five NSW Team representatives, successfully culminating at the recent Australian National Championships in Brisbane with medals in both fighting (Shiai) and Kata.
Team members included instructors Daniel Forman, Steve Clifford and Jim Clifford, and in the young men’s age bracket Mark Haines and Keller Locke-Sodhi. The team came away with one silver and two bronze medals in a number of divisions, with both Mark and Keller now fixing their gaze on future Olympic selection. The PCYC Sutherland Judo Club has seen a large increase in junior enrolments, as well as increase in the senior ranks and the women’s division. At PCYC Dubbo, the Phoenix Judo Club held its first Weekend Training Camp in January. Special guests included Germany’s Under-21 champion Peter Randa, and senior competitor Danny Foreman. Through their expert training sessions, students were able to advance their throwing skills in this highly disciplined and competitive sport. As well as this, distinguished instructors Steve Leadbeater and Rodney Moulder helped develop skills in the judo form of Kata
Judo continues to be popular in many PCYC Clubs with boys and girls, young and old. Classes are also held for children in wheelchairs. Above: Some of the PCYC Lismore squad with one of the Club’s new mini-buses.

Performing Arts
SAY Patrol program
PCYC Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Performing Arts Centre
Protecting youth with safe transport
PCYC Hornsby / Ku-ring-gai took on the largest activity-development project in their 40 year history with the opening of the PCYC Performing Arts Centre in Waitara. With the assistance of community groups and NSW Government grants it was a mammoth task to convert a former lawn-bowls club into a vibrant teaching and performing space. It contains a fully functional theatre ‘The Kirkwood Theatre’ which seats 160 is complete with lighting, sound, bio box and 2 complete dressing rooms.
With the support of the NSW Department of Justice & Attorney General, PCYC launched a new youth transport program in 2010, the Safe Aboriginal Youth (SAY) Patrol Program. This program is designed to integrate with community activities for young people, offering safe transport to and from activities at PCYC on Friday and Saturday nights. The service aims to reduce the incidence of youth crime and anti-social behavior at ‘peak’ times. By providing transport into and out of crime hotspots late at night, the Patrol bus reduces the chance of a young person becoming involved in crime, as either a victim or offender.
The intention of the facility is to nurture all forms of performing arts for a wide variety of age groups. Under the direction of Greg Bepper, its opening year activities have ranged from symphonic bands to musical theatre for kids, string ensembles, live theatre, youth choir and Bollywood dance lessons. There are also staged events such as regular band nights and popular variety showcases. The Hornsby Ku-ring-gai PCYC Theatre Co. provides the opportunity for members of the community aged 16+ years to participate, experience and be trained in all aspects of live legitimate theatre The Centre fills a void for young people and provides them with an opportunity to hone their talent, practice, perform, make new friends and be involved as a member of a team.

The program runs at PCYC Eastern Suburbs, Bourke, Kempsey and Newcastle, with an average of 40-50 young passengers a night. Young members can participate in activities like basketball, futsal, gymnastics, boxing-for-fitness, cookery classes and music, or play pool or computer games. Participants are given a nutritious meal during the evening, and at the end of the night they are transported home. As a result of the program the incidence of youth crime and anti-social behavior has shown a significant decrease during the period the program operates. One location which has shown the greatest success is Kempsey, where in the last quarter of 2010 they experienced a 62% reduction in youth crime on Friday and Saturday nights.

Traffic Offender program
White Ribbon Day
Safer driving behaviours
Preventing violence against women
PCYC is the largest provider of traffic offender programs in NSW and in 2010 the program saw substantial growth in numbers. The Traffic Offender program is run in cooperation with the Local Court, and provides offenders who are guilty of a traffic offence with information and skills to help develop safer driving behaviours. Aside from information on the effects of drugs and alcohol, the program covers subjects such as vehicle maintenance, road rules, understanding the law, the role of emergency services, and insight into the consequences of motor accidents.
White Ribbon Day is one part of a national violence prevention campaign that aims to raise awareness among Australian men and boys about the prevention of violence towards women. On White Ribbon Day, men swear an oath to never commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women. White Ribbon Day is held on 25 November every year as this is the day declared by the United Nations as International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.
In 2010, over 7800 drivers attended with 77% of these referred for drink driving (DUI). Around 86% were attending with more than one charge. Over 90 different courts provided referrals to PCYC, and with the program now available in 42 Clubs, this covers over 90% in the NSW population. Participants in each course complete a feedback sheet at the end of each session, and at the end of the course. Some responses this year include: “Should be mandatory for all drivers.” “I never realised how stupid I was.” “I didn’t want to be here but I am glad I came.” “ I’ve been driving for over 30 years and still learnt something.”
In 2010 PCYC and the Youth Command supported White Ribbon Day with Police and staff members swearing the oath and assisting with the sale of merchandise. Of particular note, Senior Sergeant Cook from the Riverina Zone was appointed as an Ambassador for a large White Ribbon Day event. He was nominated for this role by the Domestic Violence Officer from the Wagga Wagga Local Area Command. On the day, Senior Sergeant Cook was the guest speaker at a luncheon held at Wagga Wagga RSL. All available male Riverina Zone Police, teachers from the Karabar Alternate School (PCYC Young) and eight case managed young offenders also attended the lunch.

2010 saw the completion of the BlueStar 2009/10 program with 17 young people successfully completing the program. The final list of community projects ranged from discos to youth-fitness programs, self-defence courses and ‘sports skills’ training days. After successfully running a dance party for 6-12 year olds and demonstrating leadership in her Club, to see the Dance-Party program continue right throughout the year, Katie-Lea Johnson was successfully appointed as a Youth Representative to the PCYC Board. Katie-Lea has become a strong leader, who is always there for young people with a supportive word, and leading from the front. Jacob Coombes, whose leadership skills have also been recognised as a school prefect is the second PCYC Youth Representative. Jacob is also a highly capable leader. From Duke of Edinburgh hikes to theory sessions, he is always happy to provide help to others. For 2011, BlueStar is shaping up as another stellar year with a diverse range of young people again nominated from across the state.

In community policing and youth crime prevention, PCYC is a world leader in the outcomes we achieve, as local communities and the New South Wales Police Youth Command work together to reduce and prevent youth crime. Changing lives Police Youth Case Management shows results Police Youth Case Managers (YCMs) support a small group of young people who have been identified as either young offenders or are ‘at-risk’ of offending. Police YCM’s work in many diverse and demanding situations, with the work often requiring a holistic view of many complex factors contributing to the young persons behaviour including their family life, parents, school, friends, peer groups, unemployment, health, accommodation, and drug or alcohol use. The local PCYC supports this work, with resources, volunteers, staff, facilities and equipment. Youth Case Manager’s are responsible for reducing crime amongst young offenders. To achieve this, we use a framework of Targeted Case Management, through which young offenders gain new perspectives, new skills and new peer groups. Targeted Case Management involves: Targeted Case Management Hot Spot interventions, and Community Policing As at December 2010, 391 young offenders were being case managed by Youth Command Police from PCYC’s statewide. Young offenders are case managed for an initial 12 month period with a following 12 month period for monitoring and follow-up.
Data indicates a 55% reduction in the number of offences committed by young offenders who are case-managed by Youth Command Police in the first 6 months of their case management period. After 12 months, data indicates a decrease of 51% in the number of offences committed..

‘Keep It Out Of Crime’ program
‘Ellin Cooinda’ program
Sport, education and recreation camp
Girls anger & behavior management
In 2010 the Keep It Out Of Crime camp was held for young offenders and youth-at-risk at the Lake Keep It Sport and Recreational Facility, near Gunnedah. Young people are taken through a series of sporting, educational and recreational activities to improve team skills, self-esteem, communications and trust. The well-structured activities including high ropes, canoeing, abseiling, cooking, orienteering and archery were well received by the participants.
In the Kempsey area, a number of incidents of anti-social behavior and violence by young girls were brought to the attention of Youth Command Police. Behind each of these incidents there were reports of cybercrime, largely made through Facebook and via the use of mobile phones. Other agencies also concerned with these incidents included NSW Department of Education, local high schools and the Kempsey Police Local Area Command.
In assessing the program outcomes, no participant came under adverse notice in the 3 months following the camp, when the initial evaluation of the program occurred. The camp also provided an opportunity for less experienced Police Youth Case Manager’s to develop skills in managing young offenders.
Early in the project S/C Casey Costigan of PCYC Kempsey realised that one agency alone could not effectively resolve the problem proposing a holistic interagency approach. This became the ‘Ellin Cooinda’ (Moving to a happy place) program. The program invited eight young girls to participate. Session included information on cyber-crime & telecommunications law, domestic violence, child abuse, anger management, self-esteem and Aboriginal community perceptions. The girls also participated in ‘Rock and Water’ training – using physical metaphors of how ‘rock is solid’ and ‘water is flexible’ – demonstrating that we need a balance to help survive in life. Over the eight weeks, six girls completed the course. As a result of this, a number of participants were also referred onto further support agencies.
Police involved reported that they believed the camp was a good opportunity to mix and work together to help better the lives of young people.
Among the presenters were a Local Magistrate, the local Aboriginal Legal Service, a representative of the Community Justice Centre, the Many Rivers Domestic Violence Prevention Service, a child psychologist, and the local Area Health Service and High School. Participants showed an overall improvement in school attendance, with only one participant being suspended during the program. There was also an overall decrease in the incidence of bullying, harassment and intimidation involving the participants. This reduction was confirmed through both participant’s school behavior reports and the NSW Police ‘COPS’ database.

Hot-Spot Interventions Minimising anti-social behaviour Hot-Spots’ are locations identified by NSW Police with high rates of anti-social or offending behavior by young people. Hotspots are generally first identified by the Local Area Command where they are located. This location is then referred to the relevant Youth Command Zone Commander for consideration as a Youth Command Hotspot deployment after assessment and further intelligence analysis. Hotpot deployments are then conducted at the location by Youth Command Police in partnership with the Local Area Command. Following is a summary of Hot-Spot operations. Western Sydney At PCYC Penrith, ‘The Mondo’ is a large grassy recreation area near Westfield Penrith. In late 2010 the area experienced a spate of youth-related incidents and responding to local requests, PCYC Youth Command police, in cooperation with the Local Area Command introduced a range of new activities. On Thursday evenings, officers played fun versions of soccer, cricket and league with the local young people, while the PCYC Mobile van was available for others to play computer games or an evening BBQ. By working to positively engage young people, they experienced a friendlier face of law enforcement, whilst Police were able to more effectively minimise anti-social behaviour. Northern The Tweed Heads shopping precinct has experienced an increase in incidents involving young people at the location. These incidents and offences include anti-social behaviour, steal from motor vehicle, malicious damage and assaults. In the Tweed Heads shopping precinct, the PCYC Mobile is deployed on Thursday nights at times selected in liaison with the Local Area Command, and in response to local youth-crime activity. Youth Command Police in attendance engage with the young people present in an effort to reduce the incidences of these offences.
Riverina The Tolland Estate is a large Government Housing area in Wagga Wagga which has experienced high rates of youth related incidences. On Tuesday evenings and during school holidays Youth Command Police collect young offenders and youth at risk from the estate and either convey them back to the PCYC or participate in activities with them within the estate. Western Wellington is an area identified to have significant level of youth related crime. In Wellington, “Operation Moondara” operates on alternate Friday nights in the main street, with over 50 young people attending each event. This hotspot operation also uses the resources of the PCYC Mobile, and is supported by Orana LAC, Wellington Council and Wellington Community Health. Hunter The Umina Beach Skate Park has been identified as an area where large groups of youths congregate and subsequent anti social behaviour often results. At Umina Beach Skate Park, “Operation Castaway” commenced in July and operates fortnightly between 4pm and 7pm. Four Youth Command Police are deployed each fortnight along with the mobile PCYC in an effort to reduce the incidences of anti social behaviour whilst improving the rapport between police and youth in the area. This operation attracts around 60 young people each deployment. 25

Surf-Hop-Box program
Crime Category programs
Motivating young women
Targeting specific crimes
With a focus on sport, the SURF-HOP-BOX program used the resources of Youth Command Police to engage six young women in a schedule that combined sports activities with crime prevention workshops. The program started with eight weeks of surfing lessons, followed by a similar time working on anger management skills and boxingfor-fitness. In the final eight weeks, the girls enjoyed a series of Hip Hop dance workshops. Throughout the program the girls also learnt about nutrition, health care, self-esteem, anger management and self-confidence.
Crime Category programs are initiatives taken by the PCYC Youth Command to reduce the incidence of specific ‘types’ of crime. The Crime Categories the Command targeted in 2010 included:
Implemented for young offenders and youth-at-risk, aged 12-16, the program motivates young women to move away from offending and become more active and healthy in their community
Alcohol, assault, break and enters, breach of bail, child at risk, domestic violence, drugs, robbery, stealing, steal from motor vehicle, street offences traffic, transport, truancy, weapons. As at December 2010, the Youth Command had 45 Crime Category programs running state wide. Following are three case management studies which clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the PCYC Youth Command and the Crime Category programs. Note that names of all individuals have been changed. Holistic Interagency Intervention (Bateau Bay) At PCYC Bateau Bay, Cheryl*, 13, was referred to PCYC with a minor criminal record. The reports indicated that her offending was likely to become more serious without any intervention. She had also been referred by local Police (LAC), and she had been a victim in many incidents. The PCYC Police Youth Case Manager’s Case Plan included: 1 Liaising with agencies such as DOCS and Department of Education to get her re-engaged at school, and bring some stability to her home life. Although 2010 was full of suspensions and settling in to a new school, simple plans allowed her to take time-out when things got too much. 2 An induction at PCYC, when it was discovered she was very artistic. Police created an 8-day program called Feel Free Art, which allowed her to be expressive and help improve her self esteem and confidence. 3 Joining the ‘SURF, HOP, BOX’ program for 5 months. Over the course of the program, she did not once reoffend.
26
4 Attending PCYC after school every week for 12 months for singing lessons. Here, Police were able to help address issues such as self-image and depression. After performing in front of an audience at PCYC events and writing her own song to perform and later recording a song on a Xmas CD for children, she began to feel good about herself. Cheryl also made a major contribution to the Club during Drug Action Week, junior discos and the annual Kids v Cops Oz Tag Challenge In our review, the success of this case is due to: the holistic approach taken by the Police YCM in her networking; a clear identification of factors that led to the offending behaviors; and use by the YCM of the resources, services and skills of agencies in specialist areas of child domestic violence and mental health. Reducing violence (Metro-Sydney)
Offending behaviour (Glebe)
In April 2009 Michelle* was referred to PCYC in metro-Sydney after a series of serious assaults on other young females. Michelle came from a family that was heavily involved in other criminal activities, with her father spending time in custody for assault. Inside the family, there was little respect for her mother or the police, and she was considered a high-risk offender at the time of referral.
Referred to S/C Sam Donni at PCYC Glebe, Michael*, a young offender, was residing in the Glebe Housing Estate. He had left school early and was literally roaming the streets. Prior to being referred, he had committed 20 offences and had been named in 120 Police events.
At PCYC, S/C Lyn Blaikie engaged Michelle and the first goal set was to regularly attend PCYC and participate in a structured sporting activity. She chose to join in a structured female-only boxing-fitness class. In the previous year, Michelle had completed her School Certificate. To keep her in regular school attendance, Michelle entered the Switchback Program, in which she was taken on regular outings, and she began to visit the club on Friday nights. This reduced her contact with police, as she was no longer hanging out on the streets of Chatswood. As Michelle had expressed an interest in getting a job in the hairdressing industry, PCYC provided funds to help her be appropriately dressed for job interviews. On gaining an apprenticeship she began a Certificate III in Hairdressing, with PCYC providing further help with money for text book’s and course materials. Over this time, Michelle’s attitude and behavior have had a remarkable turnaround, including substantial reduction in criminal offending.
During case management, S/C Donni accessed funds to purchase appropriate clothing for job interviews and resume preparation, and Michael subsequently obtained a job as a Warehouse Assistant in a local business. He had never had a job before and has fully embraced the role, to a point where he is now training to obtain his forklift license. Michael now has limited contact with his ‘gang’ friends and attributes his change in behavior to the guidance and support that S/C Donni has provided throughout the year. While his offending behaviour has reduced by 74% ‘post program’, he will continue to be closely monitored to ensure he does not commit any further criminal offences and his employment remains secure. In November 2010 S/C Donni’s work with Michael and other young offenders was recognised with a ‘Pride of Workmanship’ award from the Inner West Rotary Club.

Assessment criteria include: Integration of crime prevention and youth development in program design, Diversity of approaches, Innovation, and Reduction in offence rates. Graffiti Treaty Program, PCYC Campbelltown PCYC Campbelltown’s, S/C Mark Stead achieved an incredible success with the Graffiti Treaty program, a program that works to clean up graffiti and help young people find alternative ways to express themselves. The program has won high praise from both Campbelltown and Camden Councils. Over the course of the program, young offenders develop a strong respect for Mark and enjoy participating. This is a key part of the success of the program achieving its real, long-term results. Camden Council has attributed a 60% reduction in graffiti crime to the Graffiti Treaty program.

Police Officer of the Year This Award recognises an outstanding contribution to the Youth Command and PCYC by a Police Officer. S/C Michelle Druery, PCYC Sutherland S/C Michelle Druery has been with PCYC for 16 years, and she is as enthusiastic about her role as a youth case manager today as she was the day she started. Michelle brings a passion to helping young people and a hands-on involvement in community events and programs. Through her work, Michelle is known to every community-youth organisation in and beyond the Sutherland shire. Michelle is constantly reviewing and inventing new programs to keep young people engaged. In 2010 she ran a host of programs, the most successful being the Footy Fever program, which created ongoing benefits for the PCYC Sutherland from strengthened ties with the Cronulla Sharks Rugby League team. Michelle also ran the very successful Graffiti Removal Intervention Program (GRIP) which has now been recognised as a best practice graffiti program, winning the prestigious Commissioner’s Safety Award. However the program that best typifies her passion for young people is the Bourke to Bay program. For this program Michelle sourced funding and put together a complex and dynamic program for the good of the broader community, providing the opportunity for a group of young indigenous girls to experience living near the coast in the city. The girls gained life skills so they would have confidence in stepping outside their comfort zones. The program united the staff at the Sutherland and Bourke PCYC’s and required many hours of preparation outside work time.
Michelle is constantly being asked to speak and attend community functions and she takes every opportunity to present PCYC’s work. Her success in programming has attracted media and political attention and this exposure has provided another platform for her to convey the ideals upon which PCYC is founded. She is also involved in a number of committees and advisory boards to promote safe and best practice in PCYC. S/C Michelle Druery is undoubtedly the face of PCYC; the work and passion she brings to this role is inspiring to her colleagues, and brings outstanding benefit to the community she serves.

n o i t a n i s r O and Finance ga
From a disused Police station in Woolloomooloo to a state-wide organisation with 57 Clubs PCYC has come a long way. Sound financial management and strategic investments in organisational and facility development are crucial to creating better outcomes for young people. How PCYC works Our Mission ďƒ’ We get young people active in life ďƒ’ We work with young people to develop their skills, character and leadership ďƒ’ We reduce and prevent crime by and against young people Our broad objectives The PCYC Constitution states that the object of the organisation is to promote the welfare of children and young people and the development of children and young people as responsible citizens with a particular emphasis on undertaking and supporting individual and social activities that address the disadvantage and other risk factors that harm young people and their development. The principal object is to be achieved by: a) providing programs, services and facilities enabling children and young people, primarily those who are disadvantaged or at risk of involvement in crime, to participate in sporting, artistic, educational and recreational activities;

Our Governance
PCYC Liverpool wrestlers Justin Holland and Hassan Shahsavan represented Australia at the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games. Both are training to compete at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Our Values
PCYC is governed by a Board of 11 Directors. The PCYC Constitution provides for the appointment of 7 Directors, including the Chairperson, by the NSW Minister for Police and for the election of 4 Directors by Club Presidents from Club Committee Members who nominate for the position. One of the Minister’s appointees must be either the Commissioner of the NSW Police Force or a person he nominates. Directors appointed by the Minister are appointed for a term of 3 years or such other lesser period the Minister decides. Directors elected to the Board are elected for a term of 3 years. Whilst a number of Directors are appointed by the Minister, the Directors and Board is independent of Government and operates under Corporations law.
PCYC has identified seven key values to be reflected in the environment it creates for the children and young people it serves: citizenship, respect, commitment, integrity, resilience, fun and friendship.
The members of the Board during 2010, and number of meeting attendances, were as follows:

Our Community Engagement Each PCYC operates with a Club Advisory Committee elected at an AGM or in some instances, after restructuring, appointed by the CEO, drawn from Club members and the broader community. Club Committees are consulted each year in the development of club business plans, and managers are required to meet on a monthly basis with the Committee to report on club progress and activities.

All existing appointed members of the Board were re-appointed by the Minister in July 2009 for another 3 year term to June 2012. Elections for elected Directors will be held in 2010.
Four Board members are elected from the membership of Club Committees by Club Committee Presidents. The Club Presidents also meet with the CEO at least twice each year for consultations on PCYC mission, direction and policy.
The Board appoints two young people from its Blue Star Leadership program as youth representatives to the Board for annual terms. In 2009, Ms Brinae West (PCYC Dubbo) and Mr Christian Atkins (PCYC Liverpool) took up this appointment.
PCYC draws heavily from community partnership through its volunteer program, with over 2000 volunteers supporting PCYC activities across the state.
Our Management

7 5 4 5 4 5 7 7 7 3 7
PCYC is headed by a Chief Executive Officer appointed by the Board. The current CEO is Mr Chris Gardiner (BA, MA, M Prof Ethics, FAIM), appointed to the position in September 2002.
PCYC operates a staff Occupational Health & Safety Committee. Staff and Police elect representatives to the committee from each Zone and from State Office, and both the CEO and Commander, Youth Command are represented. The Committee meets at least quarterly.
Management of PCYC is represented in the Senior Management Structure diagram. Police Officers working in and through local Clubs are members of the NSW Police Force Youth Command headed in 2010 by Superintendent Allan Harding. The Command is based at PCYC head office. Risk and Safety PCYC has established structures, policies and procedures to identify and manage risk and to ensure safe work and activity places. The Board has a Risk & Finance Sub Committee chaired by the Chairman which meets before each Board meeting. The Sub-Committee includes two Board members, the CEO and Commander, Youth Command, and the General Manager Finance & Corporate Services. The Committee receives and considers a report at each meeting from the PCYC internal auditor and once a year with PCYC’s external auditors. The Committee also reviews financial reports ahead of the Board meeting. The CEO has established and chairs a Risk and Policy Committee within State Office which meets monthly. The Committee receives reports from the internal auditor, safety manager, property manager, and Occupational Health & Safety Committee and considers recommendations for new and amended policy and procedure.
Comprehensive policies are in place for risk management, child and member protection, and occupational health and safety. Training in safety, first aid, child protection and risk management is made available to each club each year. Managers are required to undertake monthly occupational health and safety checks for their facility and activities. Managers are also required to have in place and review annually an emergency action plan for their facility. The annual review of that plan includes checks of fire systems and the conduct of emergency evacuation drills. All PCYC activities must be drawn from an approved activity list, and risk plans and checklists developed and maintained. All employees and volunteers are subject to Police check and relevant working with children screening. All Club members must consent to possible Police checks. Huxley Hill is contracted to undertake ‘test and tagging’ of electrical equipment and systems, and to check and update first aid kits, at each facility on an annual basis. Compliance in safety is part of the internal audit process.

2010 saw the significant growth in Club membership in previous years stabilise at approximately 85,000. Total membership has now doubled from approximately 35,000 members in 2002 as a result of the reform and renewal program established in 2003. Activity levels increased in Clubs, reflected in activity revenue growth of approximately 7%. Blue Light NSW At the request of the NSW Police Force, and reflecting its constitutional objectives, PCYC agreed to assume responsibility for Blue Light operations in NSW. A senior manager was appointed to oversee Blue Light and to explore opportunities for expansion of its main service to young people – fun and safe dance events supervised by serving members of the NSW Police Force and local community volunteers. The tradition of having an advisory committee elected from and by volunteers in local Blue Light branches was continued. Senior Constable Murray Alcock, President of the Entrance Blue Light, was elected as President of the Blue Light Advisory Committee. Finances A significant goal in 2010 was to reverse the operating loss (before depreciation) in 2009 of $303,127 and achieve movement toward a benchmark result equivalent to approximately 7.5% of revenue. Restructuring of State Office and strong financial performance at Club level saw a before depreciation result in 2010 of approximately $3.5 million, equivalent to 12.5% of revenue. This result included the transfer into PCYC of approximately $750,000 of Blue Light funds held by the NSW Police Force. After allowing for the one-off Blue Light funds transfer and one-off amounts related to accounting reversals, an operating surplus before depreciation of approximately $2.3 million was achieved, equivalent to approximately 7.8% of revenue.
Mission indicators A new Mission and Strategy document was presented to the Board by the CEO and endorsed by the Board in 2008. The document set direction for the four year period up to and including 2012 (the 75th Anniversary of the organisation), and established outcome targets for 2012 in the areas of membership growth, staff engagement, member satisfaction, volunteer numbers, offence reduction by young offenders involved in case management supported at Club level, and financial performance. Club Managers are provided with a business planning and reporting framework to support the Mission Strategy, with 5 areas identified as business planning and performance areas: activity and member growth, finances, volunteers, stakeholders, and compliance. The progress data against the mission indicators in 2010 were as follows:
Increasing Youth Crime Prevention Approximately 400 young offenders were under case management by Police Officers working in and through PCYCs at the end of 2010. There was a 51% reduction in offences after one year. The number of young offenders is down on previous years as a result of an increased focus on ‘tougher’ cases – young offenders with more significant offence profiles – and a lower Command strength in the number of Youth Case Managers.The NSW Police Force changed the data analysis methodology in 2010 to focus on the tougher offence profile of offenders being case managed and to compare those being managed with the 100 highest offenders in the state. As a result the offence reduction rate at approximately 50%, lower than reported in previous reports, is not in fact comparable to previous figures. Increasing Volunteering Target: 250 Lead Volunteers
2010: 33 accredited Lead Volunteers (23 in 2009)
Initial uptake of this program has been slow, and the program is under review to ensure that the aim of having trained lead volunteers available to support club managers is achieved. 41
Increasing Staff Engagement
Increasing Membership Target: 75,000 Members 2010: Approx 85,000 (stable compared to 2009)
Target: Staff engagement rating in top quartile
of organisations. 2010*: Score of 72 (59 in 2009)
Increasing Member Satisfaction Target: Majority of PCYC activity participants are ‘promoters’. 2010*: First surveys (Kidzcare, Archery) indicate approx 84% of respondents as ‘promoters’ and ‘net promoter score’ of approximately 69%.
*The Franklin Covey xQ Survey is used to assess staff engagement. It provides a comprehensive insight into staff views and feelings about our mission and their environments. The 2010 score was 13 points higher than the 2009 score, and 23 points above the average score for the xQ data base. Over 20 Clubs scored 75 or above, placing them in the top quartile of organisations using the xQ instrument.
*The use of the ‘net promoter score’ methodology will be repeated in 2010 in new activities and assessed as to its utility thereafter.

Risk and compliance outcomes All Clubs were audited under an internal audit process during 2010. A new compliance framework was introduced during the year setting strict definitions of high risk in a number of compliance areas, but providing a comprehensive guide to managers on risk and the criteria against which their Club operations would be assessed. There was one reported ‘high risk’ compliance incident during the year relating to documentation required to be obtained from venue users and service provided such as proof of insurance. Our external audit by Grant Thornton again reported no ‘material weaknesses’ in terms of control gaps or high risk issues. Total Activity Revenue ALL PCYC
