HIGHVIEW CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY COLLEGE www.highview.vic.edu.au THE SCHOOL Highview College is an Independent Co-Educational Secondary School that was established in conjunction with four participating Churches (the Anglican, Catholic, Church of Christ and Uniting). The school is located in Maryborough, Central Victoria, and offers quality education at a low cost.

OUR VALUES Growth Respect Aspiration Compassion Excellence 1 PRINCIPAL’S REPORT MR STUART GLASCOTT I acknowledge Mr Stuart Glascott and Ms Marion Martin, who led Highview College through 2015. During his tenure, Mr Glascott implemented changes which have allowed the School to move forward in 2016. With dignity and compassion, Ms Martin guided the school community through a difficult and very sad final term, in 2015. IN MEMORY Mrs Dulcie McDowell (Mrs Mac) sadly passed away on 24 January this year at the age of 88. Mrs Mac was an integral and much loved part of Highview College from the school’s inception in 1974 until her retirement in 2013. Many past students and staff attended the Thanksgiving Service, with many more passing on their thoughts and prayers. Mrs Mac will be fondly remembered by thousands of past students and staff. Stephanie Nicholls (Year 10) tragically passed away on 4 December 2015, following a brave battle with illness. Ashley Hepburn (Year 11) died on 12 October 2015. Tragically, Ashley chose to take his own life. Stephanie and Ashley’s deaths are still felt deeply by the Highview community and we continue to support their families, in particular Stephanie’s sister Casandra (Year 11). 2015 VCE RESULTS Students can achieve at the highest levels at Highview College. In the annual High Achievers Assembly, both current and former students were recognised for their hard work, dedication and success in 2015. The Dux of Highview College for 2015 was Emily Wiseman with an outstanding ATAR of 99.20. She was presented with the Don Da Fonte Award, which is presented to the Dux for outstanding academic achievement. The maximum study score in a VCE subject is 50 at Year 12. To be awarded a Dux or Academic Excellence award, students must have attained a score of 40 or more, thus being in the top eight percent of Victorian students for that subject. The Australian Tertiary Admission Rank, or ATAR, is a percentile score up to 99.95 which indicates a student's ranking relative to his or her peers. The awards that were presented at the recent High Achievers Assembly represent outstanding achievement in the following categories: 1. Academic Excellence Awards for students who attained a Study score of 40 or over. 2. Subject Dux Awards for those students who attained the highest Study score in their subject with a scaled or un-scaled score of 40 or above. 3.

HIGHVIEW SUB SCHOOLS At the commencement of 2016 we aligned the learning spaces around the age and stage of students attending Highview. The physical, developmental and social differences between a 12 year-old and an 18 year-old deserves consideration and accommodation. We now have three distinct Schools: Junior Secondary (Years 7&8) located in the Brigidine Wing Middle School (Years 9&10) located in CIA and MI5 wings, and Senior School (Years 11&12) located in the VCE Centre SENIOR SCHOOL LEADERS Both year groups in Senior School have common rooms and easy access to the Careers Counsellor and VCE Co-ordinator. Aside from their traditional jerseys, the introduction of blazers and ties also identify our Seniors as being the leaders of the College. The strength in our student leaders is an illustration that young people can achieve anything. Mitchell Bench, Madeline Moran, Jack Chandler and Ellie Leishman all lead with generosity of spirit, grace and perseverance. SRC In 2015, 17 students were elected as Student Representative Council members. The President, Megan Armstrong, led the group in organising the school Social and out of uniform days. These events helped to raise money for causes such as donating towards the Vietnam Community Service trip, supporting the students to participate in Energy Breakthrough, assisting in the purchase of sports tops for the College to use in school sport events, along with several other donations. In 2016, the SRC will continue their great work, under the leadership of new President, Keely McDonald. POSITIVE EDUCATION AND MINDFULNESS Pastoral Care is a strength at Highview. The relationships between staff and students characterise the trust which has been established between adults and young people. The majority of staff attended a Carol Dweck Seminar on a Saturday in March. This illustrates their collective commitment to being the best that they can be in supporting Highview students. MISSION MONTH This year we chose to ‘think locally’ through supplying Anglicare with items they have indicated are of use to people experiencing crisis. The kindness inherent in the act of giving makes a difference to the recipient of these practical gifts: toothbrushes, shampoo, etc. CAMBODIA TRIP Another major community service project this year was 12 senior Building & Construction students building two houses in Cambodia for disadvantaged families. This was a life-changing experience for those who attended and met the families they were assisting. JAPANESE VISIT The cultural exchange with Japanese students from our sister school, Shibuya Junior High School continues to be a highlight of the Highview calendar. The friendships forged over this busy 12-days last lifetimes. Everybody involved, gains an insight into another culture and overcome challenges of communication, expectation and assumption. 3 SEQTA The School has embraced SEQTA, an online learning program which will allow us to track and monitor student progress and report to stakeholders as students complete assessment tasks, rather than at the completion of units of study. SEQTA will also enhance communication with families. PRE-SERVICE TEACHER PROGRAM Highview has forged links with Federation University and will have undergraduate teachers working with our experienced staff throughout the year. PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE Continuous ongoing strategic professional development improves practice. Every staff member is engaged in professional learning, goal setting and reflection. LESSON OBSERVATIONS In 2016 Area Heads regularly observe lessons taught by staff in their faculties. Staff reflect on their own practice and Area Heads provide additional feedback. This is a process that is constructive and designed to improve practice. HOUSE COMPETITION The Swimming Sports involved competitors only. This year we invited Year 7 to attend, and, as a result of how well this was received, House competitions have been reinstated as full school events. Students have responded positively to the introduction of a House Spirit Award for each carnival. I commend the Sports Co-ordinator, Luke Treacy, and the House Captains for their commitment to ensuring these events engage Highview students and are well-organised and well run. ICCES SPORT Highview students had the opportunity to participate in various ICCES events over the past year, including swimming, athletics, netball, basketball, soccer, cross country among others. Once again we participated in a very successful Winter Sports Carnival, in Shepparton, over two days. HIGHVIEW COLLEGE VS MEC SPORTS CUP We have continued our competition with MEC in football, soccer, netball, basketball and cricket with some great results and many ‘personal bests’ and impressive teamwork from both schools. ENERGY BREAKTHROUGH Energy Breakthrough 2015 was very successful for the Highview College teams. The three school teams placed in the top four in their respective sections, a brilliant team effort! The Zazu Junior squad had several members participating in their first secondary school event. The team achieved high scores across all sections, including second in the race and were the overall winners. The D-Rex VCE team were very consistent across the event to place third overall in the HPV C division; just a few points from winning. A great effort by all, especially considering the move to place three male junior riders into this team. The Brazilian Bullant HPV Open team, as defending champions, performed well in all categories. Of the 30 competing teams they were able to finish fourth overall, and with four new riders have set a good base for this year. Congratulations must go to all riders and pit crew for their efforts, attitude and behaviour across the event. The team spirit and family involvement was excellent and the joy and feel amongst the group was very positive. A big thank you to all staff and parent helpers throughout the entire program and particularly the weekend, and to Mr Treacy for co-ordinating the event. Of course none of this would be possible without our many sponsors – thank you! We are now looking forward to EBT 2016! 4 CAMPS In 2015 the Year 7’s spent 3 days in Norval at Halls Gap. Students had the opportunity to participate in activities such as canoeing, mountain bike riding, bush cooking, among many others. The Year 9 students spent 3 days at Lady Northcote Recreation Camp at Bacchus Marsh, where they participated in many team-building activities such as rope courses, canoeing and initiative games. Year 10 students participated in a 3 day Melbourne city experience. The students get to experience life in the city and visit many attractions as well as learning how to use the public transport system. PARENTS & FRIENDS ASSOCIATION I would also like to acknowledge the work of the Parents & Friends Association, led by President Donna Bell. This small but dedicated group do so much for the school and I thank them for their continued support of Highview.

There are no indigenous staff at Highview; 4 were born in an overseas country, while the rest were born in Australia. STAFF RETENTION During, or at the end of 2015, 6 staff resigned for a variety of reasons. The retention rate was therefore 92.00%, indicating a high level of satisfaction amongst the staff. 7 SENIOR SECONDARY OUTCOMES: YEAR 12 RESULTS There were 65 students who completed Year 12 in 2015. Emily Wiseman was Dux with an ATAR of 99.20. This is one of the highest ATAR’s ever recorded by a Highview student. Sarah Brennan also performed impressively and recorded an ATAR of 91.75. Eight students recorded an ATAR of over 80. Some Year 11 students who completed Unit 3/4 subjects also achieved some strong results and this indicates that they are on track for a successful VCE. Significant Senior Secondary Outcomes for 2013, 2014 and 2015 are set out in the table below: Number of Year 12 students 2013 59 2014 49 2015 65 % who obtained the VCE 100% 95% 97% Number of VCE studies at the Units 3/4 level taken by students 22 24 24 Number of enrolments in at least one VET certificate 69 in 17 Certificates 98% 37 in 12 Certificates 94% 46 in 12 Certificates 98% 23 + 9 in VET 21 + 8 in VET 30 + 6 in VET % of VET units of competence satisfactorily completed Number of Year 11 students who completed VCE Units 3/4 studies All VCE Study Scores 8 POST YEAR 12 DESTINATIONS Data supplied by the On Track Survey 2015 (Year 12 2014 students): YEAR 12 2015 STUDENTS Of the 65 students who completed Year 12 in 2015, 61 students sat the examinations. Of these 61 students, 48 applied for Tertiary courses. That was one of our highest ever percentage of students applying for tertiary studies. Of the 48 students who applied for tertiary studies 44 received first round offers. This is an amazing result and a great credit to the students concerned. 11 students from the Class of 2015 will attend a tertiary institution in Melbourne, 29 will attend in Ballarat/Bendigo and 6 will attend in Geelong. STUDENT ATTENDANCE FIGURES 2015: 9 Strict attendance records are kept with rolls marked every lesson. Absences are followed up by phone if parents/guardians do not notify the school as to the reason(s) for student absences. Long term and regular absences are followed up by the Pastoral Care team (Year Level Co-ordinators) who contact the families to organise meetings and discuss their concerns, including the implications of regular and long term absences. Ongoing counselling is sometimes provided. The average student attendance rate for 2015 was 90%. The breakdown of student attendance for 2015 by year level is as follows: Year 7: Year 8: Year 9: Year 10: Year 11: Year 12: TOTAL: Attendance Percentage 89% 89% 89% 90% 93% 92% 90% STUDENT OUTCOMES: LITERACY AND NUMERACY TESTING As required, Highview Year 7 and 9 students participated in the Literacy and Numeracy NAPLAN testing program in 2015. National Minimum Standards The table below shows the percentage of students in Year 7 and Year 9 who were at, or above, the National Minimum Standards 2013-2015. Proportion of students meeting National Benchmarks 2013 2014 Year 7 Reading 99% 100% Year 7 Writing 87% 93% Year 7 Spelling 91% 88% Year 7 Grammar and Punctuation 85% 93% Year 7 Numeracy 100% 98% 2015 100% 85% 96% 100% 100% Year 9 Reading Year 9 Writing Year 9 Spelling Year 9 Grammar and Punctuation Year 9 Numeracy 93% 76% 85% 90% 100% 91% 83% 93% 95% 94% 94% 89% 89% 90% 97% NAPLAN Highview was behind the State results in NAPLAN at Years 7&9 but generally aligned with or better than National results. Our strongest area at Year 9 is Numeracy. Our weakest area at Year 9 is Writing. At Year 7 our strongest areas were Reading, Numeracy and Grammar and Punctuation and Writing represents an area for improvement. This improvement appears to be occurring (comparing the NAPLAN results in these areas are across Year 7 and 9).
