2019 NAPLAN RESULTS

The 2019 NAPLAN results are excellent, with St Catherine’s students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 continuing to exceed the state and national means across all five areas. All results across every year level and across every category were once again well above both the Victorian and national averages. St Catherine’s very strong results are a reflection of both the quality of teaching and learning opportunities and the diligent work of our staff and students in maintaining a clear school-wide focus on the key learning platforms of literacy and numeracy.

VISUAL ARTS • Under the framework of Thinking Strategies the Visual Arts staff have created Thinking Routines that support the development of deeper thinking in the student learning.

This has seen a marked improvement in the way students approach the practical and theoretical aspects of the Visual Arts curriculum. With the extra time allocated to Years 10 and 11 we have been able to put in place structures that have seen students better prepared for VCE, with more time to develop art literacy skills and documentation of the visual diary.

• Visual Arts teachers have spent time this year developing new ways to use technology in the classroom to ensure students have a deeper understanding and proficiency of digital software.

They also developed Camtasia clips for art analysis, trialling of laser cutters for implementation of design tasks for 2020 and using mobile phones for filming tasks.

EDUCATIONAL TRAVEL

The students of St Catherine’s explore the world around them with the aim of becoming global citizens. They have the opportunity to participate in a variety of programs, tapping into areas that interest them. Some students are looking to enhance their academic learning, others to experience a new culture, give back to a developing community or to push themselves physically while completing an expedition. Some students were able to achieve multiple goals through participation in the World Challenge Program, which consists of three main phases including an expedition, community project and cultural immersion.

The group was incredibly adaptable when their destination needed to change from Sri Lanka to Vietnam and Cambodia following the bombings in Sri Lanka.

2019 has been a year where we have reached out to other schools to expand our partnerships, with a focus on our Year 9 Exchange Program.

We have begun our partnerships with Shawnigan Lake School, British Columbia, Canada and Buffalo Seminary School in Buffalo, New York State, USA and have established partnerships with The Royal High School, Bath, UK and Culford School, Suffolk, UK for 2020.

The level of interest in a Global Exchange at Year 9 continues to grow and we are thrilled that we have offered 18 students exchange places for 2020.

Snowsports: • At Nationals Chamonix Stafford (Year 6) produced her best individual performances (1st in Skier X) and 2nd in Alpine to anchor the Division 4 team to victories in those two events. Year 6 students Catherine Ross, Bella Burdett and Lucy McAllister provided great support to ensure the Division 4 team scored many points for St Catherine’s.

“ A sense of belonging to community is at the heart of the Early Learning Centre (ELC) philosophy. When children feel secure, comfortable and connected within their community, then their learning and development will flourish.”

– Ms Sarah Bethune, Head of ELC

EARLY LEARNING CENTRE • The ELC children have engaged in a range of inquiry-based projects throughout the year. This has provided them with opportunities to develop their learning, understanding and skills across a range of areas. In-depth investigations in relation to the city, buildings and architecture, endangered animals, birds and nests, mini-beasts, maps have enabled the children to develop their intellectual learning, creativity, language, numeracy and literacy skills.

• Connecting the children with Indigenous culture and history has been an important aspect of our program this year.

The children participated in an indigenous smoking ceremony and engaged in learning with an Indigenous educator to learn more about Aboriginal culture and language. This connection with the land and Indigenous culture was extended further through an ELC community project where the children engaged collaboratively to create two representations of Bunjil the eagle.

• An opportunity was introduced for ELC children to engage in child-led learning discussions with their parents. This was the children’s opportunity to share their current classroom learning with their families from their voice and perspective.

• A range of incursions were planned and implemented through the year to extend upon the classroom programs.

Visiting artists and experts in the areas of puppetry, sea creatures, gardening, science and sustainability provided workshops for the children to engage in hands-on experiences to extend their learning.

• Special celebrations for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Grandparents and Special Visitors Day enable extended family members to connect with the ELC children and their learning programs.

• A revised Siesta / Relaxation program was implemented with Children engaging in a range of relaxation offerings including sleep, rest, yoga, meditation, mindfulness or quiet activities within the classroom.

• An expanded co-curricula program was offered to ELC children this year. This includes gymnastics, dance (offsite) and the Learn to Swim program.

• The ELC children had the opportunity to hear Dr Jane Goodall speak when she visited St Catherine’s earlier this year. The work of Dr Goodall has inspired the children’s ongoing learning throughout the year as they have continued to investigate endangered animals, and elements of conservation and sustainability.

This visit has had a profound impact on the children’s learning and understanding.

• The ELC children connected with the St Kilda Mums “Coats for Kids” campaign by donating winter clothing to those in need. This was a wonderful learning opportunity for the children to learn more about the importance of giving and helping those in need.

• Following an excursion to the Melbourne Zoo and after being inspired by the work of Dr Jane Goodall, the children decided to engage in a project to raise money for Zoos • Excursions to the Botanic Gardens and Melbourne Zoo were Victoria to help protect endangered animals. also conducted to extend the children’s learning in relation to animals, nature and sustainability. This is also a wonderful way to connect with the broader community.
