Our College Vision

Inspired by the Gospels’ values, John Paul College provides an exemplary and holistic education
within the Catholic tradition. Our community welcomes students and their families from the
parishes and communities of the greater Frankston region.

We believe every student’s success is grounded in quality learning and teaching, and a school
culture that fosters wellbeing, promotes resilience and inspires faith in action.

“With Him is the Fullness of Life” Jn 10:10

Our motto is our vision—the commitment to ensure every member of our community is
empowered to achieve success, act with integrity and contribute to the common good - Christian
discipleship for a just world.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 3

 John Paul College, Frankston

College Overview
John Paul College is a Catholic, coeducational, secondary, regional college in the Archdiocese
of Melbourne. The College was founded in 1979 as a result of a merger of two previously
established schools: Stella Maris Girls’ College (1968) and Marianist Boys’ College (1973). John
Paul College provides secondary education for families in the parishes of St Joseph’s Chelsea,
St Anne’s Seaford, St John’s Frankston East, St Francis Xavier’s Frankston and St Jude’s
Langwarrin.

We treasure our spirit of community and the values that flow from it - courage, perseverance and
generosity.

The strength of our House system is anchored in these values and the charism we inherit from
the lives of our founders, The Faithful Companions of Jesus (FCJ) sisters and the Marianist
brothers. Today, we continue to live by our values and animate them within a culture that:

 Respects the dignity of every person

 Is inclusive, compassionate, just and forgiving
 Honours the integrity of creation through careful stewardship.

John Paul College is jointly owned by its member parishes, namely: St Anne's Seaford, St Francis
Xavier's Frankston, St John's East Frankston, St Joseph's Chelsea and St Jude's Langwarrin.
The parish priests of these five parishes form an ‘Association of Canonical Administrators’. This
association is the legal owner of the college.

The John Paul College Board is a representative group of parents, canonical administrators and
staff which is responsible for the development of the mission statement and general policies of
the College. The canonical administrators delegate to the board the responsibility for giving advice
to them and to the school's administration on a range of policy matters, including educational
priorities, capital development, student enrolment and parent fees.

Principal’s Report

It is with a great sense of honour and pride that I

write my first Principal’s Report to the John Paul
College community. I follow in the footsteps of
three long serving and distinguished Principals of
John Paul College, Don Neff, Liam Davison and
of course Jane Tibb, my immediate predecessor.
All have had a significant impact upon the
College and I hope that during my tenure as
Principal all in this community can work together
to ensure that John Paul College continues to be
faithful to its mission and vision underpinned by
our motto “With Him is the Fullness of Life”.

The wonderfully warm welcome that I have

received from all members of the community at
John Paul College in 2017 has been incredibly
generous. This very special school community has been developed and nurtured over the years
and right from the start I felt very much at home here. Thank you to all who have helped in my
transition into this role.

During 2017, the College has undertaken a comprehensive school review. These reviews happen
every four years and involves external reviewers investigating all aspects of the College within
the spheres of Education in Faith, Learning and Teaching, Student Wellbeing, Leadership and
Management and School Community. The review team accessed school records, documents and
results and interviewed representatives from the College Board, staff (teaching and non-
teaching), students and parents.

The opening line of the final report prepared by the reviewers indicates the strengths of our
College, which were evident in their assessments.

“John Paul College presents as a welcoming and inclusive school where the holistic development
of every child remains central to its purpose.”

The review also identifies the following characteristics of our school:

“All survey responses and focus group discussions confirm that the college has succeeded in
creating a strong sense of community. Students are proud of their school and happy to be there.
Teacher-student relationships are positive; students and parents acknowledge that teachers are
approachable and supportive.”

These and others identified in the report are significant achievements but, of course, there are
always areas to improve. We have identified a number of goals and strategies to implement over
the period of the next four years to enable us to provide the best education we can for our
students. Our strategic goal for this period is:

To ensure that our Catholic identity and mission is the foundation for collaborative processes that
engage all in our community and support contemporary learning and teaching so that our students
come to the fullness of life.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 5

 John Paul College, Frankston

We will work together to ensure that we achieve our goals.

2017 has seen a number of changes to our processes and curriculum. We have begun the
introduction of our new Learning Management system, SIMON. The system will provide parents
with significantly more information regarding their children’s progress in their learning and current
status of assessment tasks as well as data regarding attendance. We know that SIMON will
provide teachers, parents and students with the framework to support learning. Of course, as with
any system, it will require everyone to embrace and use the technology to achieve the positive
outcomes that are possible. No doubt, as in any organisation where there is a positive culture,
there will be more changes to come as we identify areas for growth and improvement.

We have also seen changes in the fabric of the school with the beginning of work to demolish the
old B-block classrooms and build a new Stewart Centre for individual learning as well as a
dedicated VCAL learning hub in the College. These facilities will provide much needed
contemporary learning spaces for students who undertake their senior studies in VCAL and for
those students who need individual learning assistance.

We are indebted to the members of the College Board for their support and guidance over the
year led by Chair, Tony Bentley, and President of the Canonical Administrators, Fr John Madden.

The College Leadership Team: Lynette Helisma (Deputy Principal – Learning and Teaching), Rick
Van Duppen (Deputy Principal – Wellbeing), Sean Egan (Acting Deputy Principal – Wellbeing in
Semester 1), Paul Owsianka (Business Manager), John Riddle (Faith and Mission), Craig Judkins
(Director of College Organisation), Kj Maan (Director of IT) has also led this College with vision
and energy throughout 2017. Each of these leaders within our College has assisted in the growth
of our College and has demonstrated deep commitment to our students. We will continue to work
tirelessly to ensure that John Paul College remains faithful to its mission and vision.

Education in Faith
Goal
To expand and deepen both awareness and understanding of all in our community to the
Gospel values that underpin our relationships with one another.

Achievements
Our Catholic faith has a rich tradition of social teaching and expression of our faith through the
call to serve others in need. Our mission statement also calls more specifically for the inspiration
to ‘faith in action’ within our students. Moreover, that we educate to promote that each student is
empowered to ‘contribute to the common good – Christian discipleship for a just world’.

Achievements include the following:

 We have implemented student House group’s chapel liturgy once per fortnight.
 We have continued with the staff prayer roster as well as dedicated staff briefing time
allocated to small liturgical focus each week.
 Priority has been given to implementation of new initiatives that help students engage
and express their faith (e.g., elective RE program; East Timor Mission Immersion).

There has been ongoing development of relationship with Parish Priests and their availability to
celebrate the sacraments with the school community:

 Staff Masses – start and end of year

 Implemented whole school beginning of year Mass
 Student end of year Masses – including Year 12 valedictory mass
 Student led Friday Chapel Holy Hour
 Student led prayer groups (FCJ; Music Ministry).

There has been a solid planned approach to professional development of staff in spirituality and
faith. We look forward to the new Religious Education Framework and the resulting development
of staff before full implementation in the near future.

Involvement of students in the liturgical and faith life of the College include:

 Daily prayer
 Holy Week assembly
 Retreats – Year 7, 8, 10, 11 & 12
 Weekend retreats (Easter & mid-year)
 Grade 6 confirmation retreats – conducted by JPC students for St. Judes, St. Johns, St.
Francis Xavier, St. Josephs.
 Establishment of youth groups within parishes
 Friday Chapel Prayer / Holy Hours
 FCJ Young Women’s group
 Music Ministry group
 Senior Youth Ministry Teams
 St. Vincent de Paul College Conference.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 7

Social Justice and Outreach has been enhanced by:

 Establishment of the College Soup Van – Community Companion

 Mission Action Day
 Establishment of East Timor Mission Immersion
 Philippines Mission immersion
 Youth Ministry and Leadership programs
 Caritas
 Volunteering
o Soup van
o Ozanam House
o Nepean School.

These are all an ‘articulation’ in practical terms of our Catholic School Vision. The John Paul
College Mission statement explicitly states that inspired by the Gospels’ values, John Paul
College provides an exemplary and holistic education within the catholic tradition. The particular
focus for us is in the spirit of our founding FCJ and Marianist charisms.

All of our endeavours at John Paul College are informed and critiqued by the college motto:
With Him is the Fullness of Life.

Learning & Teaching

Goal
To create a dynamic, stimulating culture of excellence in learning which maximises outcomes for
all students and which empowers students to take responsibility for their learning.

Achievements
The College provides a rich curriculum delivering authentic learning for each individual student.
Students can access a vast array of opportunities both in and out of the classroom that value the
uniqueness of each individual and enables their transformation as learners. The formal curriculum
frameworks include the Catholic Education Melbourne Religious Education Curriculum, the
Victorian Curriculum, the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning and the Victorian Certificate of
Education. As one of 13 schools in a consortium, students are also able to access the START
(School TAFE Alliance for Regional Training) Trade Training Centre located on Chisholm’s
Frankston Campus. This opportunity has further enhanced student pathways into vocational
careers.

The Stewart Centre for Individual Learning continues to provide a high level of support for
students with particular learning needs, which range from intellectual, physical, social and
emotional to motivational, time management and organisational issues.

Each learning area has been diligent in mapping and aligning the Year 7 to 10 curriculum against
the Victorian Curriculum. The Resource Centre continues to be a most valuable resource in
supporting student learning by the provision of appropriate and current resources.

The College also offers extensive enrichment opportunities across all learning areas that support
and extend the core skills and applications as provided by the curriculum. 2017 initiatives include
the Starting Your Story Masterclass (Years 5 to 7), Creative Paths to Non Fiction Masterclass
(Years 8 to 10), Introduction to Chemistry Masterclass (Years 5 to 7) and Mathematics Extension
Classes (Years 5 to 8). These opportunities for current and future John Paul College students are
proving to be most successful as demonstrated by student engagement, student learning
outcomes and positive feedback by parents and students alike.

Further opportunities across the leaning areas include:

 The Arts - JPC Production, Arts Night, Dance Squad, Holy Week Assembly, Instrumental
Music Program, Intermediate Vocal Ensemble, Senior Vocal Ensemble, MAD Day
Concert, Visual Arts Competition, SIS Theatre Sports

Student Learning Outcomes

NAPLAN results over the three years show a high percentage of Year 7 students meeting the
minimum standards though the Year 7 intake in Year 7 2017 had a lower percentage of students
meeting minimum standards in Grammar and Punctuation.

Year 9 NAPLAN results over the three years show a slight upwards trend in spelling and
numeracy, a slight dip in Grammar and Punctuation in 2016, a slight peak in writing in 2015 and
a slight peak in reading in 2015.

These results must be read in conjunction with relative growth reports of students sitting NAPLAN
in Year 7 2015 and Year 9 2017. The NAPLAN Relative Growth reports indicate a slight though
favourable trend as the percentage of students with low growth is decreasing and the percentage
of students with medium and/or high growth is increasing across the five domains. Furthermore,
medium and high growth is evident across all bands.

Student Wellbeing
Goals
To create an environment where students are
engaged, feel respected and have strong
relationships.

Achievements
The staff of John Paul College continue to
work on building quality relationships which
promote respect, collaboration and openness.
The Pastoral Care program continues to
evolve as the needs of our student cohort
change. The program is a combination of year
level and Pastoral Care group/House
activities. We have retained the vertical
pastoral structure in groupings of Years 7-9
and Years 10-12 increasing the
sense of connectedness amongst the students, reducing the impact of cross year level issues
whilst aiming to build the cohesion of the year level group and dealing with year level specific
issues.

The Pastoral Care Program focuses on year level specific issues and areas of concerns with the
following themes:

Year 7 Transition
8 Camp Preparation, Mental health
9 Body Image / Party Safe, Mental health
10 Relationships, sexuality and the role of the media
11 Goal Setting, motivation, leadership
12 Orientation, Outreach and Service, Study Skills.

We utilise a combination of outside resources and presentations (such as ‘Batyr’, ‘Project Rockit’,
‘Elevate’) as well as ‘in-house’ lessons and activities. The combination of the two allows for
maximal student engagement and variety, as well as utilising experts in their field.

Restorative Practices strategies have continued to be implemented across the school including
encouraging students to resolve conflict through a mediated restorative discussion, which aims
to repair relationships.

The College Wellbeing Team meets on a regular basis to oversee whole school wellbeing
initiatives. The Wellbeing Team initiated student bullying audits enabling House Coordinators to
work proactively with students to reduce the stress and trauma associated with bullying. Student
surveys are conducted annually to gather information from students at various year levels and
about a variety of issues including personal safety/bullying, their sense of connectedness to
school and staff, knowledge and understanding of support services within and out of school for
mental health issues and knowledge and understanding of mental health itself. Information is
discussed at the Wellbeing Team and House Coordinators meetings and a range of actions to
improve student wellbeing are implemented throughout the school.

2017 ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY 12

 John Paul College, Frankston

Student Wellbeing continues to be enhanced with STAR (Students at risk) meetings that occur
regularly. The STARs group is chaired by the College Psychologist and includes the Deputy
Principal Wellbeing, individual House Coordinator and Head of Stewart Centre. The aim is to
identify students who are at risk of disconnecting from school and assist both staff, student and
parent in positive re-engagement.

Management of Student Non Attendance

John Paul College believes that student attendance is crucial. It is important in terms of attention
to learning and to the development of the whole person. Students who have high levels of absence
are at risk of experiencing long term learning difficulties.

As such, John Paul College records student attendance for each class. Record keeping and follow
up are equally important to ensure that students are given the best educational opportunities.
Parents are contacted immediately via SMS when there is an unexplained absence. Follow up on
unexplained absence can also involve telephone contact and parent interviews. We report
prolonged unapproved absences to the Department of Education and Training as required.

Child Safe Standards

Goal
As a Catholic school which honours the charisms of its two founding orders – the Sisters FCJ and
the Society of Mary (Marianists) - we have a mission-driven, moral and legal responsibility to
provide a safe and secure environment for children and young people and to protect them from
all forms of abuse and neglect. We are steadfast in our resolve to honour this responsibility.

Achievements
The College regards its child protection responsibilities with the utmost importance and as such,
is committed to providing the necessary resources to ensure compliance with all relevant child
protection laws and regulations and maintain a child safe culture. As a result, we have a Child
Safe Policy and Code of Conduct to embed our child safe practices in our processes and
procedures.

The Child Safe Policy is an overarching document that provides key elements of our approach to
protecting children from abuse. The Child Safety Code of Conduct lists behaviours that are
acceptable and those that are unacceptable. It provides a high-level statement of professional
boundaries, ethical behaviour and acceptable and unacceptable relationships. This Code of
Conduct has a specific focus on safeguarding children and young people at the College against
sexual, physical, psychological and emotional abuse or neglect.

All these policies and procedures work together to support the development of a culture at John
Paul College that maintains the safety of each student in our care.

All staff have received specific training in identifying Child Abuse and the requirement to report
such abuse to the appropriate authorities. The College has also implemented new HR Processes
to screen all potential employees and volunteers. We provide training to ensure that new
members of staff understand the importance of child safety and wellbeing, and enable them to
consistently follow our child safety policies and procedures.

The Wellbeing team has also developed strategies to promote child empowerment and
participation including the processes for students to contact staff if they need support in this area.

The College has also implemented new procedures for Contractors and visitors to the College
and has communicated these policies and procedures.

During 2017 the College undertook an external review and the VRQA component of this review
indicated that John Paul College had achieved all of the requirements of the Child Safe Standards.

Leadership & Management

Goal
Goal: To create a strong professional culture that is based on a shared vision, consultative and
collaborative practices, strong teamwork, openness and trust.

Achievements
We have initiated programs aimed at developing the leadership capacity of middle leaders. The
middle leader’s program utilised targeted seminars, peer coaching, formative reviews, conference
days and shadowing opportunities to support middle leaders in their leadership journey. The
approach was strategic and multi-faceted, recognising that different leaders will develop in
different ways at different times in their leadership. The focus has been on the development of
the skills of each individual with consultation.

During 2017 the College positions of leadership were reviewed and reformulated according to the
current needs of the College. A formal position of leadership was established of a Professional
Learning Coordinator with a focus on developing staff professional learning, ARMs and coaching.
This will provide the resources for significant growth in the years to come.

Similarly, the growing needs of applied learning at John Paul College was acknowledged and
provided with capacity in leadership by establishing a VET/VCAL Coordinator position to replace
the previous more informal arrangement.

Expenditure and Teacher Participation in Professional Learning

Professional learning supports school improvement and highlights the commitment of teachers to
the growth of their own professional knowledge and practice. All teaching staff at John Paul
College take part in a range of Professional Learning activities:

 Regular after school formal meetings to discuss teaching practice and to plan
curriculum
 Informal meetings between smaller groups of staff responsible for particular subjects that
include cross marking of student work, planning of particular teaching tasks and
discussion about best practice in the particular context of specific subjects at particular
year levels.
 External professional learning activities
 Formal study.

The total expenditure on Professional Learning during this time was an average of $1,492 per
staff member. A description of some key PL undertaken in 2017 is as follows:

 First Aid Training

 Anaphylaxis Management
 CPR Training
 OH&S Training
 Surf Lifesaving Certificate Update
 Principals Conference
 Middle Leadership Development
 Respect Protect Connect Program

College Community
Goal
To develop a school culture that fosters appropriate and supportive partnerships with parents
and the wider community.

Achievements
John Paul College acknowledges the role strong and effective partnerships plays in developing
community relationships. There is an understanding of the need for families to engage
meaningfully with their child’s learning.

We achieved more than 500% increase when comparing July 2016 to July 2017 in the
engagement of members of the community on social media. This has been used to actively
promote school and community events and to obtain feedback on possible actions such as a
proposed bus route.

Attendance at teaching and learning conferences has continued to be a successful way to engage
parents in their child’s learning journey. There was an increase of 8% from 2016 to 2017 in parent
bookings and this has built upon a steady increase in attendance over previous years.

There has been a significant increase in the parent use of the College’s Learning Management
System. This provides access to more detailed information for parents on their child’s educational
attainments and growth. Statistics indicate that parents are becoming more engaged with their
child’s learning as evidenced by a 12% increase in parental access to the learning management
system.

John Paul College is the lead school in the Boon Wurrung Family School Partnerships (BWFSP)
cluster. This is a cluster of 8 schools in and around the Frankston area working together to
strengthen links with families, the local community and each other to improve student learning
and wellbeing outcomes. The schools involved in this cluster with JPC are: St Augustine’s
Primary, St Anne’s Primary, St Joachim’s Primary, St Jude’s Primary, St John’s Primary, St
Francis Xavier Primary and St Joseph’s Primary. The activities of this cluster include, cluster
planning meetings, parent forums, information sharing and transition activities.

The current priorities of this cluster are to:

 Establish and nurture an educational family F-12

 Establish connections with external community which support parents
 Each school establishes true relationships with parents.

In 2017, the community have been invited to attend a series of seminars dealing with adolescent
issues, mental health and parenting. These sessions have been well attended and feedback has
been extremely positive. Attendees have come from within John Paul College and the cluster
primary schools. These sessions have also provided an opportunity for families new to John Paul
College to become included into the broadening community.
