STAFF 2019 marked the final year of the OP system with a significant number of our teaching staff participating in QCAA subject panels and committees. As we transition into the new Queensland Certificate of Education for Years 11 and 12, we acknowledged their commitment and contribution to professional learning at Loreto. The changing Senior Assessment and Tertiary Entrance system in Queensland has ensured that much professional development in 2019 was undertaken to deepen staff understanding of new syllabi and assessment requirements. Teachers and Curriculum Leaders participated in QCAA forums to prepare their assessment instruments and resources. Many staff have undertaken additional training by QCAA to become Endorsers and Confirmers. Additionally, staff continued to engage in formal external studies, including masters, diplomas, certificates and other post-graduate qualifications. Staff Days provided time for engaging and relevant workshops, which were designed in response to College needs. Workshops drew on the expertise of staff who have developed skills through their on-going commitment to their own professional development. Workshops focused on topics such as Learning Goals, Explicit Teaching and Success Criteria. Staff days throughout the year were dedicated to the implementation of our Year 7 – 9 Literacy Program. As part of the College Strategic Plan, we supported all staff to be leaders of learning and encouraged collaborative practice where staff shared knowledge and expertise through regular department and year level meetings. A sub-group from across the curriculum volunteered to be involved in a trial program by an external provider, PIVOT. This six-month experience introduced staff to a wide variety of research-based teaching resources and culminated in the analysis of periodic data supplied by their students. Staff met each cycle to discuss their progress as they implemented strategies to target student feedback. A new initiative was a Middle Leaders Retreat. The rationale for the two-day program was to facilitate alignment with the strategic vision for the College, to develop leadership capacity and enhance collegiality. Loreto Middle Leaders who were trained in 2018 as Cognitive Coaches presented an interactive workshop. Guest speakers included Christine Flynn and Paul Ould (Loreto Ministries Australia) who focused on teaching pedagogy for the new QCE. He also delivered this to all teaching staff. All staff participated in our annual full day Retreat program facilitated by Anne Muirhead, the Director of Mission for Loreto Ministries Limited. She deepened our understanding of Mary Ward and helped us to explore the 2019 virtue, Sincerity. To ensure our professional learning is aligned with the College Strategic Plan and AITSL standards, we continued to examine and refine our Staff Review process. This year, classroom visits were followed by a guided reflection with a member of the College Leadership Team to assist improvement, acknowledge expertise and dedication to goals. Support Staff and Middle Leaders also received training in Myers Briggs Type Indicator. All staff completed training in First Aid, Child Protection and Fire Safety.


Other professional development included a two-day College Leadership Team retreat facilitated by Kate Hitzke in effective senior leadership teams. The Board Chair and the Principal undertook a Pilgrimage around Mary Ward. Board members attended a Loreto Ministries Limited colloquium. Average expenditure per teacher on professional learning during 2019 was $1541.40.

SOCIAL CLIMATE Faith Life In the spirit of the founder, Mary Ward, Loreto schools aim to promote intellectual development supported by Christian values. To fulfil these aims, emphasis is given to nurturing the five virtues: freedom of spirit, sincerity in communication, personal integrity, a discriminating attitude to truth and a cheerful disposition. It is envisaged that in becoming well-informed, self-directed, spiritually mature women, the students will have the capacity to contribute to the building of a society characterised by Gospel values. The handing on of the Christian faith, within the Catholic tradition, is the foremost objective of the Loreto College community. Religion classes promote critical religious literacy and understanding. The personal faith life of each girl is supported by a school community that attempts to live out Jesus’ call to love others and to act justly. We are committed to the spiritual development of our students, and provide regular opportunities for reflection, prayer, worship and celebration. All year levels participate in retreats, year level masses and age appropriate liturgies. Whole school liturgical celebrations, including two full school masses, mark significant moments in our year. These rituals, together with important celebrations and experiences such as our annual Mission Day and Year Level Justice Activities, promote a sense of belonging and community, along with connection within and beyond our school. One highlight was the talk by Dr Elaine McDonald on Mary Ward: Bearers of a Dangerous Memory: The Prophetic Legacy of Mary Ward.

Service and Immersion Opportunities A commitment to working for justice is a strong emphasis in the Service Program. The Environment Club, St Vincent de Paul Conference and Mary Ward Coorparoo are involved in raising funds and awareness through service activities at school, community and international levels. These groups comprise student members from Years 7 to 12 with Executives drawn from the Year 11 cohort. Year 11 and 12 students have the opportunity to participate in Rosies’ Street Outreach program. Biennial Immersion Trips to Timor Leste and other developing nations such as Vietnam are available to students in Years 10 and 11. In 2019, we ran the Year 10 Social Justice Immersion Program. This three-day program connected the academic work in a number of subject areas with a focus on ‘Becoming a Woman of Substance’, as well as the justice values of the Catholic Church and the Mary Ward tradition. The students were provided opportunities to connect and engage with local organisations working in the areas of homelessness, indigenous disadvantage, refugees, women and violence, and environmental sustainability and stewardship. Together with their homeroom teachers and other staff, students were able to engage with issues that affect the lives of those who live at the margins of our society.

Student Leadership The style of leadership encouraged at Loreto Coorparoo is strongly based on service. Leadership structures and training are designed to develop students’ leadership capacity. All Year 12 students belong to a Council. Councils are responsible for organising activities for all students to enhance school spirit, promote engagement and, at times, raise awareness and money for charity or other initiatives. The College Captains, House Captains (Ward, Mulhall, Barry and Mornane) and Council Leaders all have specific leadership responsibilities in Year 12. In addition, students play important leadership roles in areas such as Music, Sport, Clubs and Associations. The Student Representative Council elected student members from each year level, further developing leadership capacity across the College.

Student Wellbeing & Pastoral Care A key focus on the Wellbeing program is for each student to feel known, valued and empowered. We want students to feel connected and part of their community; a place where each student has the best possible opportunity for personal, academic, social and spiritual growth. Students are placed into homeroom groups with teachers who focus on student welfare. Year Level Coordinators collaborate with the homeroom teachers. New students coming into Years 8 to 12 or mid-year into Year 7 are supported through transition programs. A coordinated Personal Development (PD) program caters for the different levels of maturity and interests of students. The PD program seeks to build individual confidence, enhance resilience, promote social competence and develop emotional wellbeing. Other topics covered include study skills, decision-making, goal setting, drug and alcohol education, personal values, sex education, bullying prevention programs and cyber safety. Feedback from students is regularly sought to ensure the PD program remains current, relevant and practical. In 2019, the results from a Resilience Survey completed by Years 8, 9 and 10 students provided further direction for the PD program. Students are encouraged to treat each other with courtesy and respect. A high standard of behaviour is expected at all times. Details of the school’s expectations are set out in the Code of Conduct in the Student Handbook. The weekly school assembly affords an opportunity for interaction between year levels. This, along with the Big Sister/Little Sister program between Year 12 and Year 7 students, encourages unity in the school and provides younger students with the friendship and assistance of older girls. Trained Year 11 Peer Support Leaders also assist the younger students. An annual Camp is held for Year 7 and 9 students and a series of Leadership Days for Year 11, to give students opportunities to develop independence, collaboration and leadership skills as well as offering challenge and social interaction with peers. These opportunities also encourage the virtue of felicity.

Cultural Program In 2019, our cultural co-curricular programs continued to flourish. Our commissioned theatre production, “Time After Time”, by playwright Suzie Miller was performed at the Ron Hurley Theatre. Our Loreto Performing Arts Club was popular among Year 7 – 9 students and included students across all year levels for the Easter Liturgy. Art Club was well attended and culminated in the annual gallery display showcasing student work across all year levels. Additionally, debating and public speaking were well-supported. In 2019, the College entered 15 teams in the Queensland Debating Union competition. A comprehensive co-curricular music program included choral, orchestral and instrumental groups. Students also took part in musical performances. Private Music tuition was available across a wide range of instruments and a number of Music Scholarships for tuition were offered. In 2019, 250 students or 31% of the school population participated in private music tuition each week and 510 playing positions were available across 25 music ensembles.


Sport Program The school is involved in the CaSSSA sporting competition for Tennis, Basketball, Netball, Volleyball, Hockey, Soccer, AFL, Touch Football, Swimming, Cross-Country and Athletics. Students also competed in club Waterpolo. Students represented the school in teams coached and managed by staff, parents and past students. 78 students were selected for representative sport at regional level. 5 students were selected for representative sport at State level. 1 student was selected for representative sport at National level. In 2019, almost 1600 playing positions were available across 132 sporting teams.

Community Engagement Loreto College places great value on parental involvement in the education and development of students and a number of initiatives provided forums and opportunities to facilitate this, including:

• Orientation morning for incoming Year 7 students with a Welcome Morning Tea for parents • P&F Welcome BBQ for all new families to the College • Parent Information Evenings for all year levels • Two sets of Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews • Welcome Morning - an open invitation for parents to attend morning classes and Assembly with their

daughters • Open Day for prospective families • Parents and Friends Association meet on the first Tuesday of each month with a focus to “friendraise” and

fundraise • College Conversations • Parent Representatives in each year level • Music Support Group • Sport Support Group • Parent volunteers were involved in the Tuckshop, Library, excursions, sport coaching and support • Assemblies • Parent forums on issues relating to the parenting of teenagers • Academic Awards • Graduation Mass, Semester One and Two Masses

The College is proud of the level of parent involvement and has promoted open and frank dialogue at all times with the view to ensure parents are familiar with the daily life of the College and are given every opportunity to embrace the ethos and values at Loreto Coorparoo. The Parents and Friends sponsored guest speakers and parent information forums to further strengthen ties across the community. The Parent and Friends Association (P&F Association) is the main parent body within the College. Its goal is to assist in developing a greater sense of community by providing a forum for parents to raise issues related to their daughters’ education. The Association also coordinated community building activities and fundraising initiatives including the Year 7 Welcome Morning Tea, a Welcome BBQ for new families, Father’s Day Breakfast and the running of the Open Day BBQ. The Association fostered further community engagement through two parent support groups, the Music Support Group and Sport Support Group, with the goal of increasing exposure for both departments to increase participation as well as fundraising to provide additional resources. The College’s Year Level Parent Representatives are a sub-group of the P&F Association. The roles are important for building connections between parents in individual year levels but also across the wider school community. The Parent Representatives organised social events throughout the year for parents as well as parent and daughter activities. Parental assistance through volunteer roles is encouraged and valued. There are opportunities to assist in the Tuckshop and Library, attend excursions or coach a sporting team to name a few options. 2019 saw many opportunities for consultation between parents and staff. Some examples include Year Level Parent Information Evenings, Parent-Student-Teacher Interviews, College Conversations with the Principal and Year Coordinators and Welcome Day. Parent information forums were also hosted by the College Counsellors each term and external experts were invited to talk to current and incoming families about issues related to parenting and other relevant teenage topics. These included information sessions with Maria Ruberto and Paul Dillon. Other forms of consultation included student reporting, surveys and meetings of the above-mentioned parent groups.


The College ensured that regular and timely information was communicated with parents. The weekly newsletter was distributed via email and the College App. Other forms of communication, dependent on content and audience, were distributed via email, website and social media channels. The Principal delivered a report at each attended meeting i.e. P&F meetings and the Loreto Past Pupils’ Association meetings. Parents were welcomed and encouraged to attend a wide range of College events including, but not limited to, Mass, Liturgies, Academic Awards Assemblies, Weekly Assemblies, Welcome Morning, Open Day, Year 12 Graduation, Year 12 Valedictory Dinner, Sporting Carnivals and performances.


Information Communication & Technology (ICT) and the Curriculum Loreto College Coorparoo employed a comprehensive mix of infrastructure systems to support both staff and students. In 2019, a focus was placed on enhancing our systems to deliver the best value, security and speed to our community. The Technology Services and Support Team (TSS) have completed a number of significant projects recently aimed at achieving this goal. The team implemented a new 10 gigabit-per-second main internet line in partnership with UQnet and TPG. This connection affords us capabilities for future growth in the cloud reserved only for the top schools and universities in QLD. In addition to our main link, the TSS Team in partnership with UQnet and Telstra provided a 2gbps fibre optic backup cable to a local Telstra node for redundancy and fail-over purposes. To ensure speed of delivery across the campus, the TSS team recently completed upgrading internal building fibre optics and edge switching to 10gbps on HP/Aruba equipment. It is routed via a 40gbps core switch. The College is able to utilise up to 100% of our internet connectivity and up to 25% of our intranet capabilities in any one building. This internet infrastructure upgrade has increased the College internet bandwidth capability from 1 GB to 10 GB (10 times the speed upgrade) and this provided the ability to upgrade the phone system. Another major project included the replacement of our main production server infrastructure with a combination of HP servers and Nimble storage supporting a Microsoft Hyper-V. These servers are fully redundant (in the same geo-location) and scalable to support the technological growth of the College. Part of the TSS team vision continues to be the utilisation of our internet capabilities and onsite infrastructure to support future adoption and adaptation of cloud solutions. These solutions provide clear benefits to several key technological areas of the school. The cloud has the capacity to provide an improved user experience that is more user friendly and secure for the end user. The TSS team has already implemented and continues to embrace cloud technologies provided by Microsoft Office 365. This includes the utilisation of One Drive and SharePoint to store, secure and manage user data as well as publish, licence and manage the latest software offerings from Microsoft Office. The TSS team has begun the process of trialling and testing additional cloud offerings such as Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services, all of which have the potential to transform the College's infrastructure in the not too distant future. At the heart of the school remains our ongoing One-to-One computer program provided in partnership with Acer. This program provides each student at Loreto with their own school-owned and managed laptop device. Our close partnership and relationship with Acer allows the TSS team to provide unique services to Loreto students not usually found in other One-to-One programs, such as onsite certification for our TSS technicians which permits service and hardware repairs on devices without voiding manufacture warranties. These services minimise turnaround times for the IT department; girls at Loreto frequently receive their laptops back in a matter of hours, not days. To ensure minimal disruption, the TSS team also maintains a fleet of spare laptops available to students experiencing technical issues. At the start of 2019, the TSS team restructured the delivery of onsite IT support at Loreto. With the addition of a new room, the department is now able to provide dedicated support for staff and students in separate areas. Not only does this reduce wait times for support, it means that the TSS department is better able to service our clients’ particular needs. Students can receive support from our trained Acer technicians while staff receive support from technicians more suited to dealing with their particular needs. This has the added benefit of providing staff an opportunity to gain efficient support. Loreto College Coorparoo TSS team is continually building the College infrastructure, IT policies, guidelines and operation flow by planning, training and exploring technologies that are appropriate and will benefit the College. Our TSS team is service-focused, people-oriented and technically adept which gives us a unique position to keep moving forward and upward while remaining in tune with stakeholders.


Learning Management System Over the course of 2019, a committee was led by the Curriculum Leader Technology & Innovation to determine if the current Learning Management System (LMS) was best suited to the needs of the College. Using a consultative process, it was determined that expectations around an effective LMS were not being met. A process was undertaken to determine the most appropriate LMS for College needs and expectations. As part of this process, the Curriculum Leader Technology & Innovation visited schools using a number of different platforms. The Learning Facilitator & Systems Support Officer also worked closely to ensure that the technical specifications would be compatible with the College infrastructure and the current school management system, TASS. The choice of an appropriate LMS was narrowed to three and representatives from each of these companies delivered extensive presentations to the LMS Working Party. Committee members also trialled various platforms. At the conclusion of this process, the most appropriate LMS was identified and a plan to commence set up and staggered implementation is in motion for 2020.

As part of the commitment to ongoing improvement, the College has presented data to staff, students, parents and the College Board. The data was curated in conjunction with other feedback sources including College Conversations (a series of conversations with small groups of parents, the Year Level Co-ordinator and the Principal) and student morning teas (conducted with Years 7, 9, 11 and 12 in small groups with the Principal). Other staff surveys were conducted including feedback on Classroom visits by the College Leadership Team, a Staff Wellbeing Survey, a survey of Middle Leaders and a Staff Culture Survey. Results of the Staff Wellbeing Survey surveyed teachers and support staff. Teachers indicated high- very high satisfaction in areas that included safety and collegial relationships. Fair- high satisfaction was indicated in the following areas: role expectations, workload, feeling listened to, feeling valued, opportunities to improve practice, enactment of the strategic plan and looking forward to coming to work. A review may be appropriate for results related to work-life balance and perception of fairness. Support Staff indicated high- very high satisfaction rates in terms of role expectations, safety and workload. Fair- high satisfaction was evident in collegiality, work-life balance, feeling listened to, feeling valued, opportunities to improve professional practice, fairness, enactment of the strategic plan, value of strengths and looking forward to coming to work. The Staff Culture Survey (based on the work of Wagner, 2006) measured three key areas of staff culture behaviours: professional collaboration, affiliative collegiality and self-determination/efficacy. Across all three domains, results were determined to be high with the highest results in the area of professional collaboration, particularly discussion of instructional strategies and curriculum issues and involvement of staff in decisions regarding resourcing.
