Messages from Key School BodiesPrincipalIt is with great pleasure that I present to you the Annual Report, 2012, for San Clemente High School, Mayfield.San Clemente is a Catholic Co-educational, Year 7-10 Systemic School in the Diocese of Maitland Newcastle.San Clemente was founded as a school for girls by the Dominican Sisters in 1916. The school was moved to its present site in1919. In 1976 San Clemente High School became the first Diocesan Catholic High School to be staffed by lay people. Anothermilestone occurred in 1983 when boys were enrolled for the first time.The school derives its name from San Clemente, a basilica in Rome, the name reflecting the Spanish origins of the Dominicans.San Clemente embraces the traditions of the Dominican sisters. Our motto is ‘Veritas’ (Truth) and students are encouraged tofollow it by being true to themselves, one another, their families and community.We aim to send into the world students who are confident and accomplished, possessing the knowledge and skills to make asignificant contribution to our society.Keiran WilliamsonP & FSan Clemente Parents and Friends Association meet on the third Tuesday of the month in the Library at 7pm.We welcome all interested parents and community members to attend. This is a great way to have input into school policy andfundraising and to be more aware of the school environment and activities.During 2012, the Parents & Friends Association had the opportunity to contribute to discussion about implementation of the 1:1laptop project. In addition, the P&F conducted a number of fundraising events to raise money for the purchase of school resources.The events included a Trivia Night, Entertainment Books, Shopping Bus Trip to Sydney’s Factory Outlets and chocolate sales.In 2013 we hope to welcome new faces with new ideas to our meetings.

Each council member would also be a representative of the Student Representative Council.We, the students at San Clemente, are appreciative of the voice that the Student Representative Council gives us. We are able tocontribute our ideas and suggestions to help make San Clemente a happy and comfortable school. In addition, the StudentRepresentative Council organises and supports fundraisers for charities, e.g. Project Compassion.What we really like about our school are the great teachers and students.

Religious Dimension and Culture of School LifeCatholic IdentitySan Clemente would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land, the Awabakal People.San Clemente is a proud and vibrant Catholic High School. The school’s Ministry Team, comprising of fifteen staff members, alongwith Fr Bill Burston (Mayfield, Mayfield West and Stockton Parishes) is responsible for organising a range of liturgical and spiritualexperiences for both students and staff. These experiences give us the opportunity to express and celebrate our faith and genuineCatholic identity.Whole school liturgies are conducted throughout the year, recognising special school and church times and events. In 2012,individual class masses were held. They run on a rotation through the various years and were held each Tuesday at 1.00pm.Parents and relatives are always welcome and invited to attend.The School as part of Parish and Diocesan LifeSan Clemente enrols students from the parishes of Blackbutt North, Mayfield/Mayfield West, Tighes Hill, Stockton, Nelson Bay,Buladelah, Raymond Terrace, Shortland and Wallsend.The Ministry Team is very active, and as noted above, is broadly representative and includes links to local parishes and to thewider Diocesan Community.In 2012, San Clemente joined with our neighbouring schools – St Columban’s Mayfield, St Dominic’s School for Hearing Impairedand Corpus Christi Waratah to celebrate St Dominic’s Day in August. St Dominic is the founding Saint of the Dominican sisterswhich was the religious order that founded all four schools.Students and staff participated in Diocesan Ecumenical Way of the Cross held at Kilaben Bay on Palm Sunday. Studentsperformed a dramatic representation of one of the Stations of the Cross.Teaching of ReligionSan Clemente actively implements the Diocesan Religious Studies Syllabus (Stages 4 & 5) in all classes throughout the school.Each staff member is supplied with the well researched units they teach in a particular year. They are further supported by anextensive array of current resources in the Teacher Resource Room and Audio Visual Department in the Library. Further supportis given via regular faculty and year meetings. Resources and assessment tasks are also shared across the Diocese primarilythrough Religious Studies Coordinators’ meetings. San Clemente was involved in 2012 in trialling the new Diocesan ReligiousStudies Program and Assessment tasks.The Religious Studies Department at the Catholic Schools Office provides additional support through the inservicing of teachersand the availability of the Resource Library.Most of the teachers in the Religious Studies faculty teach more than one class of Religion, thus providing more stability andconsistency throughout the faculty.Retreats and Faith Development ProgramsThe San Clemente Ministry Team organises a series of faith experiences for each year in the school.Reflection experiences were incorporated in the Camp experience for Year 7. Year 7 had a three day experience at ChallengeRanch, Somersby. Their theme was ‘Friendships – Old and New’. The year 8 students had several incursions throughout the yeardealing with issues such as Bullying and Respect. The year 9 Reflection experience was combined with a two day LeadershipProgram, conducted at Dixon Park Surf Club.The Year 10 Residential Retreat was conducted in June at the Collaroy Convention Centre. The theme for 2012 was ‘Top of theWorld’ which attempted to help students build worthwhile lives in both a practical and a spiritual sense by contemplation,discussion and reflection. The Retreat is supported by the involvement of Fr Bill Burston, Parish Priest of Mayfield Parish.These faith experiences are written, prepared and facilitated by members of the Ministry Team. They were highly evaluated byboth students and staff. Such days give the students a wonderful opportunity to develop their faith in a familiar and safeenvironment. “Alienation from the church .... lurks in many adolescents as a fundamental attitude.

proposed in new ways which are open to the sensibilities and problems of this age group” (General Directory of Cathechesis,1997).Values (including Social Justice Initiatives)The school has a strong Dominican history, with a motto of Veritas (truth). As a consequence, we speak and act out of a strongsense of respect and responsibility for ourselves, one another, our school, our community and the environment.San Clemente is a generous and giving community with a high recognition for the needs of others. Once again in 2012, wedemonstrated this Christian outreach in a number of very practical ways.The Intensive English Class (IEC) as part of the Feldt Learning Centre, continued to operate throughout all of 2012. This classsupports the African students from Sudan, Liberia, Sierra-Leone and Burundi.Generous assistance has been received from the Catholic Schools Office to staff the class with a teacher, teacher’s aides andresources.Our school community has reached out to these students and families to assist their integration into school and Australian lifealong with equipping them with the necessary literacy and numeracy skills to not only survive but succeed.The school also has a very active St Vincent de Paul Society Junior Conference. This group was very active in visitations to thelocal Retirement Home and various food and clothing drives. Members of this chapter regularly met with members of the otherschool chapters to discuss initiatives and receive professional input from guest speakers. The local school conference continuedto support a child throughout 2012. The St Vincent de Paul Chapter adopted this child in 2005. His name is Mpisi Thobani and helives in South Africa. The monthly financial commitment is raised in a range of ways including raffles, out of uniform days andsausage sizzles. Vinnies also support St Jude’s School in Tanzania and Penola House in Newcastle.The other major social justice effort in 2012 was the Project Compassion campaign, conducted by Year 9 volunteers throughoutthe weeks of Lent. The total amount donated by San Clemente to Caritas Australia in 2012 was $3,000.00. In addition, wecontributed $3,300 towards assisting Catholic Mission in their work. This money raised was the result of a month long campaign inOctober. The school developed a theme of ‘Soktober’. A number of initiatives was organised around this theme to raise thisamount.PoliciesEnrolment PolicySan Clemente follows the guidelines provided by the Catholic Schools Office Policy Enrolment (Amended 2008). The Policy hasbeen devised to accommodate, as far as is possible, the needs of families seeking a Catholic education. In situations whereenrolments have to be restricted because of limitations on capacity, preference may need to be given to children of Catholicfamilies, as defined in the Policy. Implementation of the Policy is via our local school Enrolment Committee which has discretionaryauthority in keeping with Diocesan guidelines. Copies of the Policy are available from the school, or from the Catholic SchoolsOffice website (cf end of Report). Parents concerned about school fees should ensure they make contact with the school. Diocesanprovisions (including standard discounts for those with a Health Card) exist to help in this area, and the Principal can also exercisediscretion where genuine need exists.Student WelfareSan Clemente has a clear commitment to the premise that all members of staff (teaching and non-teaching) are part of a caringteam. However, particular emphasis in each year for the care of the students is the responsibility of the Student Coordinatorassigned to that year. They work closely with the Roll Teachers, Classroom Teachers and Assistant Principal in supporting thestudents and families. In addition, they liaise with the School Counsellor, Pastoral Care Worker, Teaching and Learning Facilitator,Special Education Adviser, Careers Adviser and the School’s Administration. Student Coordinators meet fortnightly with their yeargroups.Fortnightly meetings are chaired by the Assistant Principal with the Student Coordinators, School Counsellor, Pastoral CareWorker and Careers Advisor to monitor student welfare and progressPastoral Periods are scheduled fortnightly into the school’s timetable to give staff an opportunity to discuss pertinent issues, suchas relationships, cybersafety etc.A N N U A L S C H O O L R E P O R T 2 0 1 2 4

In 2012, the school has given greater purpose and structure to its Peer Support Program. Groups of Year 7 students are allocatedto a Year 10 Peer Support Leader and they meet regularly throughout the year. This provides an extra support for Year 7 studentsand further enhances our level of pastoral care at school.An award system is in place at San Clemente to acknowledge student achievement and promote self esteem. It also providesstudents at San Clemente, who consistently maintain and display good standards of behaviour, to be formally recognised by theircommunity. The Pastoral Care Policy is published as part of the Student Handbook is issued to students on enrolment; it is alsoavailable on our website.DisciplineDiscipline policies and procedures are contained in the school’s overall Pastoral Care Policy, published in the Student Handbook.All aspects of the policies and procedures are underpinned by the value of respect for ourselves, others and our environment. Thisis enshrined in our school motto “Veritas” – being true to ourselves and our community.Breach of these values has clear consequences for students. Restorative discussion and possible counselling support are givenwhere appropriate.We aim for students to be gradually led and encouraged from imposed to self directed discipline.In 2012, the school’s Welfare Team established a Merit System in which students are able to receive Bronze, Silver or Goldcertificates. With the introduction of a new database (FirstClass), staff can log entries for positives which they feel need to beacknowledged. Additionally, demerits can be logged and these are monitored by the Welfare Team.Complaints and GrievancesAt all times San Clemente aims to work with the student and his/her parent/carer. We welcome enquiries and discussion andemphasise the importance of working together in partnership. At all times the school is guided by the Student Welfare andDiscipline Policies and our own Complaints Resolution Policy revised August 2005 (available at the school and on our website) andRestorative Justice approach which emphasise procedural fairness.Many of the concerns expressed by parents are dealt with at the Student and/or Studies Coordinator level. More serious concernsare dealt with by the Assistant Principal or Principal. Those issues that come under the jurisdiction of the Child ProtectionLegislation are dealt with by the Principal in conjunction with the Child Protection Unit at Zimmerman House.An important dimension of both our Discipline and Complaints & Grievance Policies is the emphasis on Procedural Fairness. Thisis part of our Policies so that students and parents feel supported whenever a matter of grievance or disciplinary action occurs(particularly if suspension or expulsion is considered). Reference is made to the Catholic School’s Office Pastoral Care Policy(revised 2002) for information regarding Procedural Fairness (p13).Special Provisions (Secondary Schools Only)Special provisions policies and provisions are in place for all students including regular students, students with disabilities andstudents referred with learning difficulties. Special provisions are coordinated through the Learning Support Team which meetsevery month to discuss students progress though the special provisions program. Students are eligible for special provisionsassistance through consultation with the learning support staff, the school counsellor, the Learning Support Coordinator andmembers of the school executive. Allocation of special provisions is decided by the Learning Support Coordinator in consultationwith teachers and assistance rendered through in class support or special provision withdrawal (intensive) as part of the LearningSupport Team policy and procedures.Student AchievementsAcademic AchievementsSan Clemente High School values and encourages all students to reach their full academic potential. In a formal sense, this isrecognised by our very good results in the 2012 ROSA. We had the opportunity of acknowledging two students who were awardedmore than six A grades on their Record of School Achievement. Students who achieve highly are recognised formally at AcademicAward presentations twice during the year. Students were also involved in the ME Program, an ongoing collaboration involvinglocal industries focussing on manufacture and engineering.A N N U A L S C H O O L R E P O R T 2 0 1 2 5

Throughout the course of the year a significant number of students participated in a range of academic endeavours. Studentswere involved in various national Mathematical, English, Science and Computing Studies competitions. In all these academicpursuits numerous High Distinctions, Distinctions, Credits and Participation Certificates were achieved by students. Outstandingachievements were gained by individuals and groups in debating (school and diocesan level), Mock Trial and public speakingcompetitions. A team of students participated in the ‘Tournament of the Minds’ competition at the University of Newcastle.All of these endeavours, in addition to many others, have enhanced the academic potential of a significant number of our students.Performance in National TestingSan Clemente draws students from a wide range of backgrounds. We have significant numbers of students with languagebackground other than English, and feel a particular mission to assist students with varying degrees of learning difficulties. Manystruggle with literacy and numeracy skills. This being the case, it is pleasing to note the significant growth of student results inNAPLAN show from Year 7 to 9. In Reading, for example, more than 60% of students had greater than expected growth in theirachievement. There is an ongoing effort in the school to improve students’ skills in literacy and numeracy without compromising theother important learning that must take place.Band 9 andAboveBand 8Band 7Band 6Band 5Band 4 andbelowBand 10Band 9Band 8Band 7Band 6Band 5 andbelowNAPLAN Program 2012 - Year 7Percentage in Skill BandReading SpellingGrammar &Punctuation Writing NumeracySan Clemente High School 5.8% 4.5% 5.6% 1.1% 5.8%National Performance 8.5% 9.2% 9.6% 5.7% 10.2%San Clemente High School 17.9% 17.5% 14.1% 7.4% 9.4%National Performance 19.1% 19.4% 19.4% 12.6% 15.1%San Clemente High School 37.0% 28.8% 31.1% 18.2% 24.6%National Performance 28.3% 29.5% 29.2% 23.7% 25.3%San Clemente High School 21.4% 29.9% 29.9% 33.0% 33.9%National Performance 24.8% 23.7% 24.8% 29.4% 27.0%San Clemente High School 13.3% 11.3% 14.7% 31.3% 21.1%National Performance 13.4% 11.4% 12.1% 18.5% 16.2%San Clemente High School 4.6% 7.9% 4.5% 9.1% 5.3%National Performance 4.3% 5.3% 3.3% 8.5% 4.6%NAPLAN Program 2012 - Year 9Percentage in Skill BandReading SpellingGrammar &Punctuation Writing NumeracySan Clemente High School 8.1% 7.6% 4.7% 5.2% 5.3%National Performance 4.9% 5.9% 5.6% 5.7% 9.0%San Clemente High School 12.8% 18.0% 12.2% 12.2% 11.2%National Performance 13.5% 15.4% 13.3% 11.1% 13.8%San Clemente High School 27.3% 30.2% 25.6% 20.9% 25.4%National Performance 26.4% 26.4% 24.7% 19.5% 24.0%San Clemente High School 32.6% 20.3% 29.7% 25.6% 34.3%National Performance 28.8% 26.0% 28.1% 23.9% 28.5%San Clemente High School 14.0% 16.9% 20.3% 18.6% 20.7%National Performance 17.8% 16.0% 18.5% 21.4% 18.5%San Clemente High School 5.2% 7.0% 7.6% 17.4% 3.0%National Performance 7.0% 8.8% 8.2% 16.8% 4.7%Cultural AchievementsSan Clemente had an extensive array of cultural opportunities for its students in 2012.The school choir and band have performed at school assemblies, liturgies, Year 10 Graduation and other major celebrations in thelife of the school.
