St Patrick’s School

St Patrick’s School is a Catholic Integrated Primary School for girls and boys from New Entrants to Year 6, offering education with a special character. It is situated at 132 Chapel Street, Masterton.

The Brigidine Sisters founded the original school over one hundred years ago. Lay teachers assisted the nuns until 1986 when the last religious sister retired from her position as Principal. A close relationship exists between the school and St Patrick’s parish and the parish priest is involved in the school in many different ways.

St Patrick’s has a roll of between 250 & 260 pupils planned for 2016. The maximum roll is 320, of which 5% may be non-preference. There are currently 10 full-time teaching positions which is divided into 3 syndicates, junior (Brigidine), middle (McKenna) and senior (Kildare). The leadership team includes the principal, two deputy principals, two senior lead teachers and the director of religious studies. The majority of our pupils come from a European background, with approximately 58% being represented in this group. 25% of our children have Maori backgrounds 8% Pasifika and 3% Filipino. We are a Decile 6 school. St Patrick’s School has 11 classrooms, a library and a hall. There is a large grassed field with running track, two hard surfaced areas, two adventure playgrounds and a court area for games. The current strategic plan contains three major areas. These are to provide a Catholic environment for our children to develop and grow in; strengthening community partnerships and helping children excel in a future-focused learning environment. The school is totally committed to inclusion, with teacher aides assisting teachers to support the learning for children with special needs, led by the Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO). Support-staff are part of the dedicated school team who work for the benefit and well-being of all our students.

The school’s academic, social and spiritual dimensions are integrated within a stimulating and Christian learning environment. Pastoral care has its foundations in Gospel values for all policies and practices. Our Board of Trustees, school and community work together in realising our School Vision and are committed to providing excellence in education at St Patrick’s School within our caring, Catholic environment.

St Patrick’s School Procedure

SELF REVIEW St Patrick’s School Board of Trustees undertakes its responsibility under the National Administration Guidelines (NAGS) to regularly review our school performance. Our school review procedures are a way of establishing cycles of connected and focussed processes to gather evidence and to act on the results. Self review is a part of our school inquiry procedure and is cyclical

Effective Governance - Working in Partnership; Ministry of Education, 2010 Maureen Kerr Review & Leadership Adviser, Catholic Education Office, Christchurch

Self-review at St Patrick’s School is undertaken in three main ways:

Strategic Regular Emergent

In-depth longer term reviews that

identify important issues that affect

our school as a whole, including our community. These are part of an on-

going process to meet the school’s vision and higher level goals through

school-wide analysis, planning,

implementation and evaluation. These might ask questions such as,

‘how can we do this better?’, ‘are we ensuring success for all our

students?’ and ‘how do we know if we are making a difference?’

Regular reviews where our school,

teachers (and sometimes students)

regularly gather data, monitor progress towards goals, put

programmes or interventions in place and evaluate the effectiveness of

these. These can be of varying depth

and length but feed into school strategic and annual plans. They ask

questions such as, ‘what is happening here?’, ‘how do we know?’

and ‘is this working?’

Spontaneous reviews that are put in

place in response to an unplanned

event, an issue or change that needs to be addressed promptly. This is

done by understanding the causes, the extent of the concern, and

determining ways to resolve or

minimise the issue. They ask questions such as ‘how did this

happen?’, ‘how can we fix it?’ and ‘what can we learn from this?’

Outcomes Self review at St Patrick’s School provides direction through: Data is gathered, analysed and used as evidence for school decision making and ongoing practices Establishes a continuous cycle of school and curriculum improvement Supports the over-arching aim of our school to provide the best levels of teaching and learning for our

students within a Catholic community which is committed to excellence

St Patrick’s School

CHARTER REVIEW

The Charter for 2016 has been prepared following 2015 school review: - the school’s guiding principles - development plan review - strategic plan review

The Board of Trustees and school leadership team worked together in reviewing and

fine-tuning the 2014-2018 Strategic Plan to meet the strategic direction of the school for 2016-2018.

Review and revision of the school’s strategic plan maintains consistency with school priorities, New Zealand Curriculum, National Education Goals and National Standards.

The School Charter drives school operations and links with the policies and procedures of the school.

School Review is a cyclical process: strategic, regular and emergent. Community

consultation, including with our Maori and parish communities, occurs each year as part of our strategic and regular self-review programmes. Reporting to the community on student achievement is through newsletters and school notice boards. Reporting on individual student achievement is every term or more frequently if required.

Development and implementation of the annual development plan is consistent with

the strategic plan and meets the needs of St Patrick’s School and the school community

Target goals have been identified using November 2015 data for National Standards.

Selected learning areas in evaluations and reporting include Maori and Pacific Island students as a priority for monitoring progress and achievement. Support for the learning of Maori and Pasifika students continues through community liaison and consultation and implementation of Ka Hikitai and Pasifika Education Plan guiding prinicples.

Two external reviews by the Education Review Office and Arhdiocese of Wellington were undertaken in 2015 and consequent goals set and implemented in the 2016 Development Plan

The 2016 school charter has been ratified by the Board of Trustees and will be

presented to the staff and parents of the school.

The 2016 School Charter will be submitted to the MOE by 1st March, 2016
