Message From The principalFollowing a positive
Independent Public School Review towards the end of 2015, the school entered its second Delivery and Performance Agreement in 2016.
The college’s 2016-2018Business Plan,whichwas developed during 2015 andincorporates recommendations from the IPS Review,focuses on the following three main improvementpriority areas:
• strongleadershipthatraisesexpectations;
• effectiveteachingthatraisesstudentperformance;
• apositiveschoolculturethatpromoteslearning.
TheCollegeBoardplayedasignificantrole inshapingthe plan, particularly through the developmentof improvement targets. We believe the targetsare realistic yet challenging and have been clearlyarticulated to the college community. We have seengood gains toward many of our targets in 2016 andremain clearly focussed on the need for furtherprogressoverthenexttwoyears.
Our student attendance continues to improvethrough the partnership with parents and carers toensurestudentsattendschoolregularly. Ourstudentattendance is higher in comparison to schools likeCoodanupCollege, and closing inon theoverall stateaverage.
StudentprogressintheNAPLANtestsin2016wasalsocelebrated by the college community. Our studentprogress was better than that of Like Schools in alltest types and better thanWA Public Schools and allAustralianSchoolsinthreeofthefivetesttypes.
The 2016 Year 12 cohort was our first group tocomplete their studies under the newWACE (Western Australian Certificate of Education) requirements. Thechanges to the WACE, including the achievement ofthe Online Literacy and Numeracy Assessments, ledto more demanding requirements for senior schoolstudents. Our 2016-2018 Business Plan target forWACE achievement was met in 2016, and 100% ofour students who were eligible for a WACE achieveda Vocational Education and Training (VET) CertificateII,which is now a compulsory component of the newWACErequirements.

Anexcitingdevelopmentfortheschoolandforstudentswas the enrolment of a small group of Year 11 and12 students in an ATAR pathway in 2016. Successfulachievement in this pathway gives students greaterchoice about the studies they may undertake at theendoftheirformalschooling.Wehaveplansinplacefor growth in the number of students enrolling in anATARprogramduring the life of the currentBusinessPlan.

Iamveryproudofourachievementsinrecentyears,and2016continued to showa trajectoryof improvement.Our staff are very clear about the college vision andprioritiesandarecommittedtobringingaboutimprovedoutcomes for students, through self-assessment andcollaboration and the ongoing development of their

Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE). All of the eligible students achieved a Vocational Education and Training Certificate II or better, and nine students or 19% attained direct entry to university and a further six students or 12% were accepted into university bridging courses.

This was our inaugural year of the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Committee, which assisted staff to develop their understandings about STEM is and how important this will be for the delivery of future programs at the college.
Nine Year 12 students participated in the MurdochUniversity TLC Program, which provided crucial skilldevelopment for students wishing to undertake futureuniversitystudies.
The school’s comprehensive, year-long Transition Program, led by the Junior School Team has resulted in strong links with the local primary schools and a more effective, happy entry to high school for the Year 7 students. As one teacher noted - “it was evident that the Year 7s who came to Coodanup in 2016 wanted to be here. The work produced by many was incredible, the attendance rate was very high and the relationships they have with staff is excellent. The Year 7s are showing that high school suits them and that they are aspiring to be outstanding citizens of the Coodanup Community with a focus on high achievement”.
Staff members have been delighted that CoodanupCollegeisbeingincreasinglyseenastheschoolofchoicebyfamiliesinthearea.IncreasedenrolmentsintoYear7,greaterengagementofparentsinschoolactivities,parentevenings, social occasions and surveys, and an overallimprovementinattendanceratesareclearevidenceofthis.
Senior students have experienced another excellent year in the community on Work Place Learning (WPL) program. WPL is available because of the willingness of businesses in the community to host our students at their work places and provide them with training and support.

The opening of the sensory area the ‘Zen Den’ and the establishment of the Justus Corner provided additional resources and support for students needing this at times. Students are able to read with our Assistance Dog Justus, or train, groom or walk with him.
