Subject Mathematics English Science Social Studies Overall Year 10 Score Predicted (%) Score 58.4 57.9 58.1 58.8 55.6 55.7 57.3 53.9 57.4 56.6 Value Added 0.0 -0.1 0.0 0.3 0.1 Explanation: Maths, English and Science have no significant valued added positive or negative, as they all fall within the limits of normal variation (i.e. not statistically significant). The progress made in these subjects is similar to the average of the national sample of New Zealand schools. Social Studies, at 0.3, has statistically significant (i.e. beyond chance) progress made, as the progress is greater than the average of the national cohort who sat the test. Overall, the faculties together are adding 0.1, with Maths and English coming in at 0.0, English -0.1, and Social Studies 0.3. Background: The predicted scores were formed using data from the Year 9 baseline test – This result looks to give an indication of the ‘value added’ in the year since testing. This is broken into three broad subject components compared to a “Predicted improvement score” English and Science fall within the accepted statistical variation for predicted improvement whereas Social Studies or ‘Humanities’ as it is known as in St Peter’s shows a marked improvement. Cambridge ‘Checkpoint’ Examinations Taken in Year 9 (13 Years and younger) and for two Year 8 accelerated Maths classes. This average of St Peter’s can be compared with the international average for Cambridge schools globally. ‘Students who achieve between 3.0 and 4.0 have a sound curriculum understanding in English Maths and Science respectively according to Cambridge. This places St Peter’s well in an International comparison with our Maths and English result.

Ms Danielle Kiely, a graduate out of Victoria University who was named the top teaching student for Victoria in 2014, teaching Accounting, Business Studies and Economics. Mr Sam Graham, an Oxford University graduate, who has had some teaching experience with education in Vietnam, teaching Economics and Business Studies. We entered 60 students in the NZ University of Auckland Economics competition as we have done for the past decade. 2015 was our best year ever with Liam Casey gaining first in NZ; Callum Williams placing 2nd equal; and Ben Hughes placing 3rd equal. These students and another 13 who placed in the top 5% were honoured at a ceremony at Auckland University in October. We have moved offices to the new O block at the beginning of term 3. The introduction of Level 1 Business Studies has been a success with 28 students taking it in 2015 which means it will continue in 2016. 2016: In 2016, we will introduce level 2 Business Studies as a continuation of level 1 Business Studies which was a success in 2015. Year 10 Business Studies has been overhauled as a result of the introduced iPads for learning coming in at year 10. We hope to embrace this technology and implement its use for Financial Literacy as part of this course. There is a real expectation that Scholarships in Economics will increase. Advanced Financial Literacy/Scholarship Economics will continue in 2016 to educate our top level Economics students and attempt to maximise Scholarships. There is an increase in student numbers for Commerce in 2016, helped by providing two new classes (level 2 Business Studies and Level 3 Accounting). ENGLISH (Head of Faculty: Mr Kurt Anderson) 2015: a) Teaching Staff Two new teachers were introduced to the department, Josh Irving and Claire Walton. b) Events and competitions The Faculty would like to increase our involvement in external events and competitions.

Harry Adams won the overall prize with his highly satirical poems. A Prize Winners Board has been placed in the Library. d) Student Engagement with the Subject Increased reading at junior levels was a focus. A selection of year 9 and 10 classes had an informal reading program as part of their course. E-learning is an area of focus for 2016, particularly around the introduction of iPads to the year 10 class. e) Changes for 2016 Three staff are leaving; Tom Hahn to move abroad, Lauren Potocky Pacay to another school and Kurt Anderson to an International School in Singapore. Rebecca O’Leary has been appointed Head of Faculty and Brett Kingstone, ex Kelston Boys and Loretta Goodhue ex Howick College. Sam Hunt Report The Sam Hunt Writing Competition continues to be a competition which stimulates thought and provokes interesting responses. Being that 2015 marked the historical ANZAC centenary, students were challenged with the theme of writing a piece of poetry or prose that reflected the theme of courage. As with previous years, students were encouraged to think beyond clichéd interpretations of the theme and consider how the problem or struggle of facing a challenge could be picked apart and explored. The competition was advertised and promoted during term two. Each class was presented with an interactive power point to introduce the theme and tease out some of the issues. Final submissions were due midway through term three with the awards evening being held in the school library at the end of the same term. The submissions were of a high calibre, the junior winner, Finn Richards wrote a sensitive and moving poem that was based around his Great Grandfathers experiences in war. The overall winner, Harry Adams wrote two poems which tested the theme by looking at the individual’s failure to respond to the call of courage and the subsequent guilt that follows.

VISUAL ARTS (Head of Faculty: Ms Kerry Arlidge) Goal 1 (Curriculum) “To enhance our use of data to improve teaching practice.” In the Visual Arts Department we are implementing the use of data through Ed Potential as a positive way to develop and practice our teaching programmes, resources, learning activities and assessment regimes. It gives us the ability to analyse our assessment data and use the findings to measure and track what’s working and what’s not. The use of collected data supports reflection and decision-making, and improves teaching and learning outcomes. We can push to modify teaching approaches so we can address different needs of individuals and planning for a range of learning styles. Data allows us to see patterns emerging, and also gives us the ability to compare cohorts and groups quickly. Making use of ICT and other effective tools such as I pads to enhance boy’s engagement. S From left to right: Donald Mavunga Year 12, Jason Fang year 13 and Jacob Wilson Year13 Photo Goal 2 (Special Character) “To enhance our understanding of the Liberating Education Touchstone of an Edmund Rice School.” In the Visual Arts we will aim to open hearts and minds, through quality teaching and learning experiences, so that through critical reflection and engagement each SPC student is hope-filled and encouraged to build a better world for all. Goal 3 (Pastoral) “To enhance personal connections and relationships between students and staff at all levels.” In the Visual Arts we endeavour to: TO BE INCLUSIVE Make an effort to get to know and connect with each student in our classrooms. Make an effort to spend time individually with each student. Be aware of the explicit and implicit messages we are giving to boys. Create a positive climate in our classrooms by focusing not only on improving our relationships with our students, but also on enhancing the relationships among each other, be aware that we are modelling behaviour for our students, whether intentional or not. It is important to have continuity in Art education programs and practices between the community and the school. CULTURAL a) Whanau Group and Kapa Haka Whanau group The Whanau is a committed group of parents, old boys and teachers who work tirelessly for the Maori community and students of St Peter’s College. The Whanau group takes a holistic approach to the boys’ education, believing that Kapa and a fostering of belief in our young men is the key to enable them to build a future. They encourage the boys in their learning; their culture; their education; their Kapa and are constantly on the lookout for ways to improve and promote these concepts. Support is available to the boys and whanau alike. They operate on the assumption of Kotahitanga; unity and oneness for all, a principle also embraced by the Edmund Rice Touchstone of an inclusive community. Kapa Haka In 2015 the school has had a solid Kapa Haka group with Ryan Smith as the Kaea (Leader). Tutored by Graham Tipene, the boys performed well at Polyfest, doing themselves proud. They have also performed for Vodafone, Hannah’s Shoes, Auckland Hospital, at Whaiora Marae in Otara as part of the Flat Bush Kindergarten Matariki celebrations and at other smaller functions. The boys were honoured to be a major part of the Outhwaite Building opening, leading the whole school in the Haka and they also opened the Old Boys’ Dinner Function earlier in the year. Kapa Haka boys have received ties for having participated in Polyfest for three years; a new initiative in line with other groups in the school. The Kapa Haka group is supported by Whanau and the school and we look forward to building the group in 2016. b) Samoan Group Talofa Lava This year has seen the SPC Tautua mo Samoa Komiti (SPC Samoan Parents Committee) piloting new initiatives and building on from the previous year’s achievements. In conjunction with the Samoan community and the school, a great deal of effort has focussed at improving engagement with the wider SPC community and trialling new ideas. The Komiti is in its third year since inception. The Komiti was set up through a community election process, an idea initiated by the College. The purpose of the Komiti is to promote the engagement with the community, foster working relationship with the College and to support College initiatives contributing to Samoan boys’ success. The Komiti developed four key areas of focus to support the above purpose. These are Academic Support, Community Engagement, Cultural Experience and School Engagement. The Komiti works towards achieving the above by working alongside the community, students and the school alike. In summary the Komiti has either lead and/or contributed to the organisation of the initiatives explained below. Every year in February, the Samoan community take part in the inaugural Mass which is an important event to kick start the school year. In March, we were able to pull off another successful year with our Polyfest Samoan group, winning the first equal overall prize in the Boys Only School Category. This is the second year St Peter’s College have won the first prize in a row. The College FAIR follows directly after Polyfest and the Komiti oversees the organisation of the Samoan Stall with a number of parents volunteering to provide the food and to help on the day. Other activities, where the Komiti takes the lead: This includes PILOT (Pacific Island Leaders of Tomorrow) – an initiative lead by a combined forum of Tertiary Institutions, NZ Careers Services, Industries and Private Training Establishment – aimed at strengthening leadership development for young leaders of tomorrow – targeting Pacific Students at Y12 to Y13. Through the Komiti, St Peter’s was able to send Pacific students to participate in this initiative, a two-day event of workshops providing tools and tips to students to prepare for their next journey after secondary school. The event concluded with a celebration dinner where the parents were invited to attend, celebrate and hear the students’ evaluation. The annual Samoan Language week celebration in May saw the Samoan group take part in practising key Samoan words and phrases at the school assembly daily. The group was invited by a local Catholic organisation, to perform at the official opening of the Samoan Language week at Malaeola hall, in Mangere. The week culminated in the group participating at a cultural day event, hosted by the Auckland Girls Grammar Samoan Group (speeches, performances and group activities). It was also a day to remember and celebrate Samoan Independence Day. Satuala Christopher Oleva-Tanuvasa (group leader) thanked and acknowledged the hosting school for the day with a meaalofa (monetary donation) on behalf of the College. Throughout the year, the Samoan group receive invitations from local schools and organisations to perform at special events. Participating at some of these events was a great way to engage with the local community, outside the SPC community. In July, the Komiti implemented a pilot mentoring project, MoanaSina. The project was spearheaded by Satuala, with the support of the Komiti and the College. The project was identified, as a targeted way to provide academic support to the Samoan students (Year 11Year 13) with a Samoan cultural flavour. The pilot ran for four months, one afternoon a week, with a series of targeted subject support (English, Maths and Science), guest speakers with relevant experience in the targeted subject/entrepreneurship, a visit to a business venture in the City, and cultural activity. In August, the Samoan Group was invited by Aotea College to take part in their annual Pasifika Festival, held in Wellington. 25 boys attended with a group of parents. Although it was a short three day trip, the Komiti were able to fit in visits to Te Papa National Museum, the Botanical Gardens, the Parliament House and a tour of the city. The group was hosted by Scots College in its first night with a warm welcome by former All Black, Filo Tiatia. August was a busy month, as it was also the second year the Komiti had taken part in organising the SPC Maori & Pasifika Careers Evening. As we head in to the end of the year, the Samoan group was able to take part in the community farewell celebration for Mr Fouhy in November. Our final farewell in Samoan style for Mr Fouhy will be at the Samoan Community Celebration Dinner in December. The Komiti see the dinner as a great way to end the school year and celebrate our achievements with a big FA’AFETAI TELE LAVA (thank you) to our community and the school, as well as saying Manuia le Lumana’i (good luck and best wishes) to our departing Year 13 Samoan Boys. The Samoan Parents Komiti would like to acknowledge and thank the College, for supporting the Komiti in its role to trial new initiatives that will add value to the development of Samoan students at the College. The Komiti would also like to thank the Samoan community, parents, former and current students for their support. We wish the Year 13 Students all the very best. Go well, work hard and keep in touch. We wish Mr Kieran Fouhy the best of health and great wishes for his next journey. You will be missed. THANK YOU for all your work over the years. We congratulate Mr James Bentley in his new post as Headmaster. Ia alofa le Atua ma saga foa’i pea le soifua ma le malosi ia te outou uma. May the good Lord continue to bless each and everyone of you abundantly. IA MANUIA TELE LE KIRISMASI MA LE TAUSAGA FOU. Wishing you a merry Xmas and a prosperous New Year. Alofa’aga & Blessings TAUTUA MO SAMOA KOMITI c) Tongan Group This year’s Tongan Cultural group was a highlight for all proud Islanders at St Peter’s College. Together with our theme Enlightenment through Education. We had an outstanding number of boys participating this year. In total we had around 60 students including the tutors. Everyone had to sacrifice their time and dedicated their weeks towards group practices, especially the learning of songs and moves. On Tuesday 17th March, “Fiefia Night”- Parents, extended families, teachers and tutors came together that night and witnessed the excellent performance of the boys in our college hall. On Saturday 19th March was the day that St Peter’s College performed at the ASB Polyfest 2015. Our hard work and efforts were rewarded on the same day at the price giving ceremony with the group receiving 1st place overall in the SIKA. The boys were proud of their performance and their remarkable achievement. To all participants and family members. Without your help and enthusiasm it would be impossible to us to have a group to participate in the festival and to demonstrate to the school that our culture is alive and well at St Peters. A particular thank you to the tutors and parent helpers who gave so much of their time. And to the boys: we may not have won the big prizes, but you carried our name forward with pride and the school is proud of you. God bless. Tutor: Malupo (Anitelu Tuli). Leader: Taniela Kaufusi. Teacher: Mr Afungia. d) Public Speaking Academy The Public Speaking Academy was founded in 2013 under the direction of Dr Reid. It has continued in 2015, open to boys from Year 9 to Year 13. The aim continues to be to enhance boys’ abilities in addressing a large audience and to prepare boys to participate in specific public speaking competitions and engagements. In 2015: Regular after-school training sessions were held in Terms 1, 2 and 3. There are now two such sessions each week to cater for separate Senior (Years 11, 12 and 13) and Junior (Years 9 and 10) groups Boys were prepared for both the RSA and the Race Unity Speech competitions. Conor McDonnell represented the college at the RSA competition, and later contributed to the joint Anzac Day commemorative service at St Benedict’s. Liam Netto and Chris Oleva took part in the Race Unity Competition, with Chris Oleva representing the college in the national finals. Liam Netto also delivered his speech to the college’s combined Junior Assembly. Boys prepared for, and were entered in, all sections of the Auckland Catholic Secondary Schools Pompallier Shield Competition. Max McIver won the cup for Junior Oratory. The St Peter’s Public Speaking Competition was held in August, again adjudicated by the English Department. The senior section was won by Zane Nathan and the junior section by Max McIver. e) College Production The College production for 2015 was Pippin, directed by John Hellyer, music director Catherine Carr. f) Debating This year both senior and junior debaters were entered in the Auckland Secondary Schools Debating Competition, with teams coached by Dr Reid, Mr Groenink, Miss Gallagher and Mr Sitters. The Senior B team (Mohammed Bohra, Ian Carcamo and Keith Nansen), coached by Mr Groenink, did extremely well, reaching the semi-finals of the competition. Mohammed Bohra was awarded a Highly Recommended placing by the ASSDC. The Senior A team (William Pitts, Liam Powell, Owen Fletcher), coached by Dr Reid, achieved three wins but advanced no further in the competition. Miss Gallagher’s Year 10 team and Mr Sitters’ Year 9 team also had more wins and losses, but did not advance further in the competition. This year, the Wednesday Period 5 (House Time) impromptu debates continued. They were chaired and adjudicated by Dr Reid, and were always followed by lively question-and-answer sessions and discussions on the topics raised. CATHOLIC CHARACTER (Assistant Headmaster: Mr Hayden Kingdon) Key Goal: “To enhance our understanding of the Liberating Education Touchstone of an Edmund Rice school.” In 2015 √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ All major liturgical events were celebrated at St Peter’s. These included: Inaugural Mass, Holy Thursday Liturgy, Assumption Day, All Saints Day, St Peter’s Day, Edmund Feast Rice Day. Rotated weekly House Masses continued for all Year Levels. Weekly lunchtime masses were held in the chapel on Wednesdays. Prayer was conducted at every School Assembly throughout the year. The Midday Two Minutes Silence continued every day at St Peter’s in 2015. Students were given reflection themes for each day of the week. A Sacramental Programme ran again this year, organised by Mr Billy Hadnett (Middle School Director of Religious Studies). Mrs Brenda Neville ran the Senior Sacramental Programme. Altogether, 38 students and 2 St Peter’s College Staff members were prepared for Baptism and/or Confirmation and Eucharist. Chris Smith, National Director of Identity for Edmund Rice Education Australia, visited St Peter’s College in Term 3. Chris spoke at the annual Father-Son Breakfast and led Professional Development sessions for the Board of Trustees and various staff and student groups about the four Touchstones of a Catholic School in the Edmund Rice Tradition. The Special Character Group for 2015 had over 60 members, comprised of Year 12 and 13 students. The group organised and ran liturgies and masses throughout the year, and they participated in Monday lunchtime liturgies and the Wednesday lunchtime Mass. The Special Character Group travelled to Mitimiti in the Hokianga for a retreat in the April Holidays. The St Vincent De Paul Group - Young Vinnie’s - was led by Mr. Mark Neville and Ms Janie Rose in 2015. The group held entertainment events for underprivileged children and worked at the Kingsland St Vincent De Paul Shop on a weekly basis. They took part in a stationery drive for prisons and collected blankets, toiletries and canned food for St Vincent De Paul. Under the student leader Ian Cairns, they also raised money for Edmund Rice Camps and held an overnight event at Saint Peter’s to raise awareness of homelessness. Other highlights included guests at assemblies speaking about homelessness and prisons and a visit to a Women’s Refuge center to donate food supplies and perform the college Haka. Retreats were held in Years 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13. The Quest retreat was held again in Term 1 of this year. The whole of Year 9 participated, with 70 Year 12 leaders (‘Peer Ministers’) mentoring the Year 9 students over a weekend of service, reflection, and brotherhood. Quest also involves a leadership team of 20 Year 13 students (the Quest ‘Cadre’) and a partnership with St Mary’s College for a portion of the retreat. Kairos Retreats have continued to run in 2015. Kairos #14 took place in July and Kairos #15 ran in September. Kairos #16 will take place in early December. √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ √ Kairos retreats represent in-depth faith and character formation experiences for senior students. The inaugural St Peter’s College Philippines Immersion Trip took place in December 2014. The trip consisted of service work in Manila and a cultural exchange with Catholic school St Michael’s Academy in Hinoba-an on the island of Negros. The India Immersion Trip took place from December 2014 – January 2015. The trip consisted of two weeks volunteering at Mother Teresa’s homes and Edmund Rice School St George’s in Kolkata. The Immersion experience also included travel to Varanasi, Agra, Delhi, Jaipur, Mumbai and Goa. The trip was led by Bridie Abley, Claire Conroy, and former St Peter’s College Associate Headmaster Br Paul Robertson. ERN National Support Office: Damaris Kingdon (Auckland) and Cathy Harrison (Christchurch) are employed by the Trustees of the Christian Brothers to support the Edmund Rice Network of schools, charities and trusts that operate throughout New Zealand. These roles both initiate and deliver professional development, networking and outreach opportunities for staff and students in regard to the Edmund Rice Special Character of the school. The overall mission of this team is to assist in community, identity and ministry development across the Edmund Rice Network as a whole. The annual Edmund Rice Network (ERN) conference, called ’This is the Time, This is the Place, We are the People', was held in Oamaru at St Kevin’s College on July 4th and 5th in 2015. Over 60 people participated from around New Zealand delving into the contemporary vision for Edmund Rice schools and organisations. Keynote speakers were Br Joe Lauren (Former NZ Province Leader and current community development leader in Zambia), Phil Glendenning (President of the Refugee Council of Australia and Director of the Edmund Rice Centre for Advocacy, Action and Awareness in Sydney), and Robert Consedine (Author of the book and associated coursework, ‘Healing our History’). Other contributors included both local and international leaders from around the Edmund Rice Network, sharing insights on a range of topics including ‘Anthropological Insights' for cross-cultural immersion experiences, to ‘Emergent Spirituality' – the changing shape of theology in the midst of scientific discovery. SPC Service Programmes continued to run in Years 7-12. ‘Fit For Mission’ House Service was introduced in 2015 in response to Bishop Patrick Dunn’s call for Catholic Schools to serve the wider community of Auckland. Logos Youth Workers Carlos David, Jennifer Martinez and Daniel Pavihi worked at the school throughout the year. They were involved with, amongst other things, classroom reflections with Year 7 and 8 classes, Retreats, the Year 9 and 10 Special Character Group and the Year 7 and 8 Junior Special Character Group. The Edmund Rice Leadership Programme for Student Leaders of NZ Edmund Rice Schools was held in Auckland in March this year. The Edmund Rice Camps continued to run in 2015, supported by past and present pupils of SPC. The Edmund Rice Student Portfolio group was led by Mr. Cameron Sitters in 2015. This role arranges participation in the Edmund Rice conference held in Oamaru and facilitates special service opportunities through the ERN, such as the Cans for Christmas initiative where 4,000 cans were collected in collaboration with 10 Auckland primary schools. The group also continued the √ √ √ √ ‘Inspire’ programme at St Therese primary school in Mt. Roskill, offering an after school programme every Monday with a focus on building self-confidence and friendship between the secondary and primary students. Many thanks to the dedicated set of Year 12 and Year 13 students who led by example. Thanks also to Mr Billy Hadnett for his outstanding contributions throughout the year. SPC Old-Boys were actively involved in Retreats at Years 7, 10 and 12. The daily Student Missions raised approximately $20,000 in 2015. From this proceeds have been given to Auckland City Mission and Edmund Rice Camps New Zealand. Year 7-10 students participated in the St Mary’s College led 3 Hours for Syria campaign, raising $11,200 for the work of Caritas with Syrian refugees.

IPads for learning introduced to all year 9 classes in all subjects. This continues the technology changes of iPads in classrooms over three years from Year 7-9. (Rationale: Engagement in learning through technology) Ipads for learning introduced in year 9 with mixed success. All boys have an ipad, and all faculties have bought into this type of teaching – strong in Maths, Humanities, Religious Studies, option classes; weak in English. 2016: Year 10 ipads for learning continues. 2. Strengthening of classroom and co curricula engagement standards relating to St Peter’s men for years 9 and 10. (Rationale: Clarity of behavioural and academic expectations for these age groups) A strengthening aspect of St Peter’s College pastoral care. Co-curricula activities year 9: 2015 – 99% / 2014 – 96% / 2013 – 100%. Co-curricula activities year 10: 2015 – 99% / 2014 – 98% / 2013 – 85%. Weekly engagement report year 9: 3.60 GPA. Weekly engagement report year 10: 3.60 GPA. 3. Linking in with the 'Fit for Mission' theme of the diocese in having each House captain organising a community outreach for his house. This involves research and action by each House. (Rationale: linkage of faith and service) This has been an excellent initiative and will continue into 2016. 7 Bodkin 77% 9 Bodkin 56% 7 Lynch 81% 9 Lynch 67% 7 Nolan 93% 9 Nolan 43% 7 O'Driscoll 61% 9 O'Driscoll 42% 7 Rice 73% 9 Rice 64% 7 Treacy 93% 9 Treacy 36% 8 8 8 8 8 8 4.

(Rationale: Maths achievements for all boys) Employed additional Maths teacher. A group of 12-13 boys in years 12 and 13 were registered as non-numeracy re credits and had additional tutorials before school. After school tutorials held for everyone. Morning Maths tuition before school 7.30 am . Peter Watt (0.4) worked with numeracy support in years 7 and 8. Separate scholarship class in Maths year 13 and some year 12. 5. Continue the senior scholarship initiatives of recent years with clarity of curriculum structures and school wide expectations. (Rationale: emphasising academic excellence for all boys) Scholarship focus is year 9 and 10 (scholarship labelled class in year 10). 2015: 121 entries from 66 students (48 year 13; 16 year 12; 2 year 11). This has been refined with entry criteria. Scholarship committee of 4. Scholarship classes in Economics, Maths, Statistics and Calculus in school hours. “Period 8”: English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, Classics, Geography (formalised hours). Scholarship “privileges” for 3 or more subjects. Scholarship success skills day with Darren Periera. Scholarship PD for teachers. Heading in school wide approach in Scholarship commencing with year 9 called Academic Leaders Academy (top 15 scholars). 6. Expanding the Asian awareness of St Peter’s college students with strengthening of Mandarin teaching and connecting with our primary feeder schools in this area. (Rationale: Internationality of a St Peter’s College Education) St Peter’s College linked with St Michael’s, Monte Cecilia and Our Lady of Sacred Heart Primary in applying for an ALLIS grant of approx $150,000. Confucius Classroom was publicised and St Peter’s College seen as a beacon for other schools about Mandarin teaching. AUT linkage with regards to Mandarin teaching. 7. Continue to support International trips for boys at St Peter’s College. In 2015 a music trip to Austria. A possible Classics trip. (Rationale: the experience of a broadening view of education) Music trip to Austria and Croatia was very successful. 21 boys and 2 teachers went on this trip. The Classics trip to Greece and Rome was delayed until 2016. 8. Continuing the annual tradition of an excellent school production with "Pippin" - a currently playing Broadway musical by Stephen Schwartz. A story of a young boy's exciting journey through life. (Rationale: Holistic education in the arts) School production “Pippin” was very successful. There were 100 boys involved and 20 adults. John Hellyer received Best Director of the Year at the Theatrical Showdown Awards. Destiny received award for best choreography. There were nominations for 13 aspects of theatre. 9. Strengthen the linkage of catholic primary and secondary schools where St Peter's college has a transition pathway. This will be about linking into the community of schools direction given by the Govt. initiative (Rationale: Community Linkage of St Peters College) Linkage of Catholic primary schools into a community of learning. St Peter’s formed a community school with St Mary’s College, Marist College, St Paul’s College, Monte Cecilia, Good Shepherd, St Dominic’s Primary, Marist Herne Bay, Marist Mt Albert, Christ the King and St Therese Three Kings. This got formal approval from the MOE and will continue into 2016. Major sticking point is the Executive Principal to run the programme (MOE rules). 10. Strengthen the pastoral dimensions of the college with an additional school counsellor in 2015. (Rationale: The linkage of pastoral with learning) A full time equivalent counsellor was employed. Jason Hotere (3 days) and Julie Aitken (2 days). This mixture of male and female counselling will be reviewed in 2016. The large number of boys were counselled indicating a growing need. Major themes were: bullying (year 7-10) depression/anxiety (home issues) (year 11-13) stress from primary or intermediate school (year 7 and year 9) confidence issues (year 7-13) video gaming (year 9-13) cyber bullying/suicide/sexuality issues (minor) 11. The one school wide student fundraising for the college for 2015 is the Edmund Rice camps ministry. (Rationale : one school wide community charity) Edmund Rice Camps been given $7,000 ($8,000 still to come). 12. Property Development The following capital projects developed. a. The completion and opening of the "Outhwaite" building of 12 classrooms in March 2015. Outhwaite Building 12 classrooms and ancillary staff space for 25 teachers. Blessed and opened on 26 August 2015 by Bishop Patrick Dunn and Sir Br Patrick Lynch. Cost was $6.3 million paid by the College community. b. The reorganisation of the property site with the removal of prefabs, expansion of the field and relocation of International and Visual arts departments in June 2015. Reorganisation of property site delayed until December 2015 due to consequential construction of Visual Arts Suite. c.

A move toward a more thorough consultative phase with the community was undertaken. Preliminary design for prizegiving. f. The refurbishment of 4 classrooms by end of Jan 2015. Solid brick walls removed in A22, C13, C14, L13, L14. Air conditioning now in 80% of all classrooms. Regular painting and maintenance of all classrooms. g. Implement the expansion of digital notice boards throughout the college campus by Jan 2015. (Rationale: The modernisation of the college plant) Digital noticeboards established in library foyer, college hall foyer, tuckshop, in the future gymnasium foyer, staffroom, Outhwaite level 1, Outhwaite level 2. Provision for a large digital noticeboard above the assembly area in future years. 13. Improving the co curricula experience of all boys by deepening the quality of the requirements of a particular sport or activity. (Rationale: emphasising sporting excellence for all boys) The figures for co-curricula participation for last three years. Representing the College in one or more Co-Curricular Activities in 2015 (Co-curricular meaning - outside of normal school hours) Year 7 Year 8 2015 92% 89% 2014 91% 95% 2013 74% 76% Year Year Year Year Year 9 10 11 12 13 Total 99% 99% 97% 96% 90% 95% 96% 98% 99% 98% 96% 96% 100% 85% 87% 96% 94% 87% 14. Strengthen the quality of teaching through St Peter’s College by agreed pedagogic practices and agreed achievement targets of performance. (Rationale: teaching and learning) Professional learning groups established for whole teaching staff. Met each Wednesday morning. Peer observation of teaching is becoming the norm. Achievement targets of performance has been established in all faculties. 15. Improve the parent teacher interview experience by inviting parent groups to plan and debrief the experience with the appropriate Head of Year. No progress on the traditional model of parent-teacher interviews. Numbers of attendances at parent-teacher interviews were: Year 7: 99% (178) Year 8: 93% (188) Year 9: 84% (163) Year 10: 79% (156) Year 11: 78% (169) Year 12: 83% (150) Year 13: 56% (81) 16. Set up an application for enrolment system of a five year community of belonging (wait list) with the contributing schools to St Peter’s College. (Rationale: clarity of enrolment expectations for parents) No progress on the 5 year community of belonging. 17. Strengthen and resource the information technology systems to ensure there are sustainable technological structures within St Peter’s College. (Rationale: the critical importance of information technology to education) Additional staff member employed in IT Faculty. Isometric company employed on a stand by basis for overload issue. 18. Establish a singing culture for all boys in year 7 and 8 alongside the requirement for very boy in the middle school to learn a musical instrument. (Rationale: music is essential to a St Peter’s College education) Year 7 and year 8 choir under Ms Georgia McCombe has made considerable progress. All boys in year 7 and 8 continue to learn a musical instrument. 19. Establishing a sculpture of the Ed Rice touchstones within the college campus and making one of those touchstone a theme for the year. For 2015 unravelling the depths of "A liberating education". (Rationale: linkage with our Edmund Rice Tradition) Sculpture investigated and because of expense was declined. The “liberating education” theme was embedded with staff PD, conferences, visit ty Mr chris Smith from EREA to Board of Trustees, staff, school assemblies. 20. With renewed energy, strengthen the 17 sporting codes of the college to ensure that St Peter’s College is school wide competitive and that boys aspire to what is excellent in that code. (Rationale: Sport is an essential element of a St Peter's College education) All 17 sporting codes were resourced with aspirations towards premier group status in major codes. 1st XI cricket, 1st XV rugby in premier grades. (Hopes for 1st XI football and 1st V basketball.) 21. Establish an explicit school wide improvement agenda through the use of customised data in many areas of the college operations. (Rationale: Collection of data as good 'disinfectant' for solutions) Ed Potential software was purchased to ensure that external exam data (NCEA and CIE) was more customised towards teacher usage. Several PD sessions were held for staff. The ease and huge potential of this ground breaking software was realised. ‘Data as a disinfectant’ was collected in many areas of college life including: sporting codes, behavioural and classroom engagement, parental engagement, co-curricula activity, attendance correlated with academic credits and study leave. 22. Linkage of individual college faculties with the university of Auckland and AUT University. (Rationale: the continuity of learning) Linkage with University of Auckland in careers, scholarships. More needs to occur with individual learning faculties. AUT Linkage was mooted with Chinese language learning, careers and scholarships.
