a) Reporting Entity

b) Basis of Preparation

Reporting Period

Basis of Preparation

Financial Reporting Standards Applied

PBE Accounting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime

Measurement Base

Presentation Currency

Specific Accounting Policies

The School qualifies for Tier 2 as the school is not publicly accountable and is not considered large as it falls below the

expenditure threshold of $30 million per year. All relevant reduced disclosure concessions have been taken.

St Patrick's School (Kilbirnie) (the School) is a Crown entity as specified in the Crown Entities Act 2004 and a school as

described in the Education Act 1989. The Board of Trustees (the Board) is of the view that the School is a public benefit entity

for financial reporting purposes.

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, rounded to the nearest dollar.

The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis unless otherwise noted in a specific

accounting policy.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, and the accounting policies have been consistently

applied throughout the period.

The Education Act 1989 requires the School, as a Crown entity, to prepare financial statements in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting

practice in New Zealand, applying Public Sector Public Benefit Entity (PBE) Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime as

appropriate to public benefit entities that qualify for Tier 2 reporting. The school is considered a Public Benefit Entity as it meets

the criteria specified as “having a primary objective to provide goods and/or services for community or social benefit and where

any equity has been provided with a view to supporting that primary objective rather than for financial return to equity holders”.

The financial reports have been prepared for the period 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018 and in accordance

with the requirements of the Public Finance Act 1989.

Critical Accounting Estimates And Assumptions

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

Critical Judgements in applying accounting policies

Management has exercised the following critical judgements in applying accounting policies:

Classification of leases

Recognition of grants

c) Revenue Recognition

Government Grants

Other Grants

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the

application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Actual results may

differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in

the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The School reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each reporting date. The School

believes that the estimated useful lives of the property, plant and equipment as disclosed in the Significant Accounting Policies

are appropriate to the nature of the property, plant and equipment at reporting date. Property, plant and equipment is disclosed

at note 12.

The School reviews the grants monies received at the end of each reporting period and whether any require a provision to

carryforward amounts unspent. The School believes all grants received have been appropriately recognised as a liability if

required. Government grants are disclosed at note 2.

Other grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding, unless there are unfulfilled conditions

attached to the grant, in which case the amount relating to the unfulfilled conditions is recognised as a liability and released to

revenue as the conditions are fulfilled.

Grants for the use of land and buildings are also not received in cash by the School as they equate to the deemed expense for

using the land and buildings which are owned by the Proprietor. Use of land and building grants are recorded as income in the

period the school uses the land and building.

The school receives funding from the Ministry of Education. The following are the main types of funding that the School

receives;

Operational grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding, which is in the year that the funding

is received.

Teachers salaries grants are recorded as revenue when the School has the rights to the funding in the salary period they relate

to. The grants are not received in cash by the School and are paid directly to teachers by the Ministry of Education.

The School reviews the details of lease agreements at the end of each reporting date. The School believes the classification of

each lease as either operation or finance is appropriate and reflects the nature of the agreement in place. Finance leases are

disclosed at note 17.

Donations, Gifts and Bequests

Interest Revenue

d) Use of Land and Buildings Expense

e) Operating Lease Payments

f) Finance Lease Payments

g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

h) Accounts Receivable

i) Inventories

Inventories are consumable items held for sale and comprise of stationery and school uniforms. They are stated at the lower of

cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price

in the ordinary course of activities less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Any write down from cost to net

realisable value is recorded as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense in the period of the write

down.

The property from which the School operates is owned by the Proprietor. The expense is based on an assumed

market rental yield on the land and buildings as used for rating purposes. This is a non-cash expense that is offset by

a non-cash grant from the Proprietor.

Interest Revenue earned on cash and cash equivalents and investments is recorded as revenue in the period it is earned.

Finance lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance

charge is allocated to each period during the lease term on an effective interest basis.

Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense on a

straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Accounts Receivable represents items that the School has issued invoices for or accrued for, but has not received payment for

at year end. Receivables are initially recorded at fair value and subsequently recorded at the amount the School realistically

expects to receive. A receivable is considered uncollectable where there is objective evidence the School will not be able to

collect all amounts due. The amount that is uncollectable (the provision for uncollectibility) is the difference between the amount

due and the present value of the amounts expected to be collected.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank balances, deposits held at call with banks, and other short term highly

liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less, and bank overdrafts. The carrying amount of cash and cash

equivalents represent fair value.

Donations, gifts and bequests are recorded as revenue when their receipt is formally acknowledged by the School.

j) Investments

k) Property, Plant and Equipment

Leased Assets

Investments that are shares are categorised as “available for sale” for accounting purposes in accordance with financial

reporting standards. Share investments are recognised initially by the School at fair value plus transaction costs. At balance

date the School has assessed whether there is any evidence that an investment is impaired. Any impairment, gains or losses

are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

Property, plant and equipment acquired with individual values under $250 are not capitalised, they are recognised as an

expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

Gains and losses on disposals (i.e. sold or given away) are determined by comparing the proceeds received with the carrying

amounts (i.e. the book value). The gain or loss arising from the disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is

recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

After initial recognition any investments categorised as available for sale are measured at their fair value without any deduction

for transaction costs the school may incur on sale or other disposal.

Land and buildings owned by the Proprietor are excluded from these financial statements. The Board’s use of the land and

buildings as ‘occupant’ is based on a property occupancy document.

Leases where the School assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The

assets acquired by way of finance lease are measured at an amount equal to the lower of their fair value and the present value

of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Leased assets

and corresponding liability are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position and leased assets are depreciated over the

period the School is expected to benefit from their use or over the term of the lease.

Bank term deposits for periods exceeding 90 days are classified as investments and are initially measured at the amount

invested. Interest is subsequently accrued and added to the investment balance. After initial recognition bank term deposits are

measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost or, in the case of donated assets, fair value at the date of receipt, less

accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost or fair value as the case may be, includes those costs that relate

directly to bringing the asset to the location where it will be used and making sure it is in the appropriate condition for its

intended use.

The School has met the requirements of Schedule 6 para 28 of the Education Act 1989 in relation to the acquisition of

investment securities.

Page 12: ST PATRICK'S SCHOOL (KILBIRNIE) · St Patrick's School (Kilbirnie) (the School) is a Crown entity as specified in the Crown Entities Act 2004 and a school as described in the Education

Depreciation

The estimated useful lives of the assets are:

Building Improvements 20 years

Furniture and Equipment 10 years

Information and Communication 5 years

Library Resources 8 years

Leased assets are depreciated over the life of the lease.

l) Intangible Assets

Software costs

m) Impairment of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets

The school does not hold any cash generating assets. Assets are considered cash generating where their primary objective is

to generate a commercial return.

Non cash generating assets

Property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets held at cost that have a finite useful life are reviewed for impairment

whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is

recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable service amount. The recoverable

service amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.

Value in use is determined using an approach based on either a depreciated replacement cost approach, restoration cost

approach, or a service units approach. The most appropriate approach used to measure value in use depends on the nature of

the impairment and availability of information.

If an asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable service amount, the asset is regarded as impaired and the carrying

amount is written down to the recoverable amount. The total impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

The reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Computer software licences with individual values under $1,000 are not capitalised, they are recognised as an expense in the

Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense when incurred.

Computer software that the school receives from the Ministry of Education is normally acquired through a non-exchange

transaction and is not of a material amount. It's fair value can be assessed at time of acquisition if no other methods lead to a

fair value determination. Computer software purchased directly from suppliers at market rates are considered exchange

transactions and the fair value is the amount paid for the software.

The carrying value of software is amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life. The useful life of software is estimated

as three years. The amortisation charge for each period and any impairment loss is recorded in the Statement of

Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

Computer software acquired by the School are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the

specific software. Costs associated with subsequent maintenance or licensing of software are recognised as an expense in the

Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense when incurred.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis. Depreciation of all

assets is reported in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

n) Accounts Payable

o) Employee Entitlements

Short-term employee entitlements

Long-term employee entitlements

p) Revenue Received in Advance

q) Funds Held in Trust

r) Shared Funds

s) Provision for Cyclical Maintenance

The property from which the school operates is owned by the Proprietor. The Board is responsible for maintaining the land,

building and other facilities on the School site in a state of good order and repair.

Cyclical maintenance, which involves painting the interior and exterior of the School, makes up the most significant part of the

Board's responsibilities outside day-to-day maintenance. The provisions for cyclical maintenance represents the obligations the

Board has to the Proprietor and is based on the Board's ten year property plan (10YPP).

Accounts Payable represents liabilities for goods and services provided to the School prior to the end of the financial year

which are unpaid. Accounts Payable are recorded at the amount of cash required to settle those liabilities. The amounts are

unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

Employee benefits that are due to be settled within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee

renders the related service are measured based on accrued entitlements at current rates of pay.

These include salaries and wages accrued up to balance date, annual leave earned to but not yet taken at balance date.

The School holds sufficient funds to enable the refund of unearned fees in relation to international students, should the School

be unable to provide the services to which they relate.

Employee benefits that are due to be settled beyond 12 months after the end of the period in which the employee renders the

related service, such as long service leave and retirement gratuities, have been calculated on an actuarial basis. The

calculations are based on:

• likely future entitlements accruing to staff, based on years of service, years to entitlement, the likelihood that staff will reach

the point of entitlement, and contractual entitlement information; and

• the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

Revenue received in advance relates to fees received from students and grants received where there are unfulfilled obligations

for the School to provide services in the future. The fees are recorded as revenue as the obligations are fulfilled and the fees

earned.

Shared Funds are held on behalf of a cluster of participating schools as agreed with the Ministry of Education. The cluster of

schools operate activities outside of school control. These amounts are not recorded in the Statement of Revenue and

Expense. The School holds sufficient funds to enable the funds to be used for their intended purpose.

Funds are held in trust where they have been received by the School for a specified purpose, or are being held on behalf of a

third party and these transactions are not recorded in the Statement of Revenue and Expense. The School holds sufficient

funds to enable the funds to be used for their intended purpose at any time.

t) Financial Assets and Liabilities

u) Borrowings

v) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

w) Budget Figures

x) Services received in-kind

From time to time the School receives services in-kind, including the time of volunteers. The School has elected not to

recognise services received in kind in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

The School’s financial liabilities comprise accounts payable, borrowings, finance lease liability, and painting contract liability. All

of these financial liabilities are categorised as “financial liabilities measured at amortised cost” for accounting purposes in

accordance with financial reporting standards.

The financial statements have been prepared on a GST exclusive basis, with the exception of accounts receivable and

accounts payable which are stated as GST inclusive.

The net amount of GST paid to, or received from, the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financing activities, is

classified as a net operating cash flow in the statements of cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST.

The budget figures are extracted from the School budget that was approved by the Board at the start of the year.

Investments that are shares are categorised as “available for sale” for accounting purposes in accordance with financial

reporting standards.

Borrowings are recognised at the amount borrowed. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the School has an

unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance date.

The School’s financial assets comprise cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and investments. All of these financial

assets, except for investments that are shares, are categorised as “loans and receivables” for accounting purposes in

accordance with financial reporting standards.

18. Related Party Transactions

Related party disclosures have not been made for transactions with related parties that are within a normal supplier or client/recipient

relationship on terms and condition no more or less favourable than those that it is reasonable to expect the school would have

adopted in dealing with the party at arm’s length in the same circumstances. Further, transactions with other government agencies

(for example, Government departments and Crown entities) are not disclosed as related party transactions when they are consistent

with the normal operating arrangements between government agencies and undertaken on the normal terms and conditions for such

transactions.

The Proprietor of the School (Roman Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Wellington) is a related party of the Board because the

proprietor appoints representatives to the Board, giving the proprietor significant influence over the Board. Any services or

contributions between the Board and Proprietor that are material transactions that have occurred has been disclosed appropriately.

The School is a controlled entity of the Crown, and the Crown provides the major source of revenue to the school. The school enters

into transactions with other entities also controlled by the Crown, such as government departments, state-owned enterprises and

other Crown entities. Transactions with these entities are not disclosed as they occur on terms and conditions no more or less

favourable than those that it is reasonable to expect the school would have adopted if dealing with that entity at arm’s length.

The Proprietor provides land and buildings free of charge for use by the Board as noted in Note 1(c). The estimated value of this use

during 2018 is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense as “Use of land and buildings ”.

The School has entered into a number of finance lease agreements for computers and other ICT equipment. Minimum lease

payments payable:

In 2015 the Board signed an agreement with Programmed Maintenance Services (the contractor) for an agreed programme of work

covering a seven year period. The programme provides for one exterior repaint of the Ministry owned buildings in 2016, with regular

maintenance in subsequent years. The agreement has an annual commitment of $6,316. The liability is the best estimate of the

actual amount of work performed by the contractor for which the contractor has not been paid at balance sheet date. The liability has

not been adjusted for inflation and the effect of the time value of money.

Holidays Act Compliance – schools payroll

The Ministry of Education performs payroll processing and payments on behalf of school boards of trustees, through payroll service

provider Education Payroll Limited.

The Ministry has commenced a review of the schools sector payroll to ensure compliance with the Holidays Act 2003. The initial

phase of this review has identified areas of non-compliance, however the potential impact on any specific school or individual and

any associated historical liability will not be known until further detailed analysis has been completed.

To the extent that any obligation cannot reasonably be quantified at 31 December 2018, a contingent liability for the school may

exist.

There are no contingent liabilities (except as noted below) and no contingent assets as at 31 December 2018 (Contingent liabilities

and assets at 31 December 2017: nil).

The School’s capital is its equity and comprises capital contributions from the Ministry of Education for property, plant and equipment

and accumulated surpluses and deficits. The School does not actively manage capital but attempts to ensure that income exceeds

spending in most years. Although deficits can arise as planned in particular years, they are offset by planned surpluses in previous

years or ensuing years.

There are no capital commitments as at 31 December 2018 (Capital commitments at 31 December 2017: nil).

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

TO THE READERS OF ST PATRICK’S (KILBIRNIE) SCHOOL’S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2018

The Auditor-General is the auditor of St Patrick’s (Kilbirnie) School (the School). The Auditor-General has appointed me, Henry McClintock, using the staff and resources of BDO Wellington Audit Limited, to carry out the audit of the financial statements of the School on his behalf. Opinion We have audited the financial statements of the School on pages 2 to 21, that comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the statement of comprehensive revenue and expense, statement of changes in net assets/equity and statement of cash flows for the year ended on that date, and the notes to the financial statements that include accounting policies and other explanatory information. In our opinion the financial statements of the School: • present fairly, in all material respects:

o its financial position as at 31 December 2018; and o its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended; and

• comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand in accordance with

Public Sector Public Benefit Entity Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime as applicable to entities that qualify as tier 2.

Our audit was completed on 31 May 2019. This is the date at which our opinion is expressed. The basis for our opinion is explained below. In addition, we outline the responsibilities of the Board of Trustees and our responsibilities relating to the financial statements, we comment on other information, and we explain our independence. Basis for our opinion We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Professional and Ethical Standards and the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Responsibilities of the auditor section of our report. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees for the financial statements The Board of Trustees is responsible on behalf of the School for preparing financial statements that are fairly presented and that comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. The Board of Trustees is responsible for such internal control as it

Page 25: ST PATRICK'S SCHOOL (KILBIRNIE) · St Patrick's School (Kilbirnie) (the School) is a Crown entity as specified in the Crown Entities Act 2004 and a school as described in the Education

determines is necessary to enable it to prepare financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Trustees is responsible on behalf of the School for assessing the School’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Board of Trustees is also responsible for disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless there is an intention to close or merge the School, or there is no realistic alternative but to do so. The Board of Trustees’ responsibilities arise from the Education Act 1989. Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit carried out in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts or disclosures, and can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the decisions of readers taken on the basis of these financial statements. For the budget information reported in the financial statements, our procedures were limited to checking that the information agreed to the School’s approved budget. We did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. Also: • We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,

whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to

design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the School’s internal control.

• We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness

of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Trustees. • We conclude on the appropriateness of the use of the going concern basis of

accounting by the Board of Trustees and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the School’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the School to cease to continue as a going concern.

Page 26: ST PATRICK'S SCHOOL (KILBIRNIE) · St Patrick's School (Kilbirnie) (the School) is a Crown entity as specified in the Crown Entities Act 2004 and a school as described in the Education

• We evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• We assess the risk of material misstatement arising from the Novopay payroll system,

which may still contain errors. As a result, we carried out procedures to minimise the risk of material errors arising from the system that, in our judgement, would likely influence readers’ overall understanding of the financial statements.

We communicate with the Board of Trustees regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Our responsibilities arises from the Public Audit Act 2001. Other information The Board of Trustees is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Analysis of Variance, Board of Trustees Listing and Kiwisport Report, but does not include the financial statements, and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information. In doing so, we consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on our work, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Independence We are independent of the School in accordance with the independence requirements of the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the independence requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised): Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. Other than the audit, we have no relationship with or interests in the School. Henry McClintock BDO Wellington Audit Limited On behalf of the Auditor-General Wellington, New Zealand

learners”. The realisation of this vision means that as an outcome of New Zealand schooling, every young person:

is confident in their identity, language and culture as citizens of Aotearoa New Zealand

is socially and emotionally competent, resilient and optimistic about the future

is a successful lifelong learner participates and contributes confidently in a range of contexts (cultural, local, national and global)

Our Vision The shared vision of St Patrick’s is one built on the Gospel values which are reflected in our Mercy Character which is strong, vibrant and central to all that we do. This ensures that each student is nurtured in an inclusive Catholic environment which challenges and supports them to reach their full spiritual, academic

and physical potential.

St Patrick’s Primary School Values At St Patrick’s we work together to promote a way of life that is modelled on Gospel Values incorporating the values of the New Zealand Curriculum. These values are integral to school life. They are to be woven through the curriculum and taught explicitly. They are modelled by staff and students and form the

foundation of every interaction within the school and community.

Love –Aroha Respect—Te Tapu o Te Tangata

Unity –Whanaungatanga Social Justice –Tika

Resilience—Manawaroa

The values of our Mercy Charism—excellence, compassion, service and hospitality underpin our School Values.

Cultural Diversity

St Patrick’s Primary School is a diverse inner city school where all cultures are valued and celebrated; our diversity is our strength.

Our curriculum recognises the unique position of Maori, the dual heritage of New Zealand and New Zealand’s cultural diversity. It provides students with

experiences and understanding in cultural tradition, language and local (Wellington) and national histories. In honouring the Treaty of Waitangi, St

Patrick’s Primary School will take all reasonable steps to provide instruction in Tikanga Maori (Maori culture) and Te Reo Maori (the Maori language).

Tikanga and Te Reo Maori is planned and integrated into the classroom programme at all levels. St Patrick’s Primary School will continue to deliver quality

education based on sound pedagogical understanding that is consistent with the Treaty of Waitangi.

The school has a procedure in place to identify Maori students on enrolment. Achievement data for Maori students is tracked, and reported to the Board of

Trustees, to ensure high expectations are maintained for learning and that responsive programmes are designed to meet learning needs.

2018 TARGETS

Target 1: RAISING BOYS ACHIEVEMENT IN WRITING Theory for Improvement Our End of Year 2017 National Standards data showed a significant and disproportionate gap between our girls and boys achievement in writing. At the end of 2017, we had 20/50 (40%) of our Boys Below the National Standard. Coupled with Well Below, we had 8/50(16%) of our Boys Well Below/Below the National Standard. Girls, were 14/42 (33%) Well Below/Below the National Standard. This is an area we aim to see significant improvement. We have observed and literature has supported this that we can make better accelerated progress for those learners who are Below as opposed to Well Below. While we will still be supporting our Well Below learners, we will be deliberately targeting our Below learners. In response to child development and brain research, we will also only be focusing on our Year 4 - Year 8 children. Again, while not ignoring our Year 1 - Year 3 children, we will allow them the time to develop as children, without the pressure constraints of meeting set expectations. Teachers will still support these learners, but at the children’s pace and readiness of learning. Therefore, our Target will be deliberately focused on our Year 4 - Year 8 Boys. What is our aspiration? Our ultimate goal is to have every boy who was Below the Standard in 2017, to make accelerated progress to be at their expected curriculum level by the end of 2018. What is our Target? To accelerate the progress of at least 20 Boys in Year 4 - Year 8 to have 42/50 (84%) of Boys at their expected curriculum level. Baseline Data (as at the end of 2017) Number of students who were Below the Standard at the end of 2017

Target 2: RAISING ORAL LANGUAGE OF YEARS 1-3 Theory for Improvement Our roll consists of huge numbers of students that are not of English speaking backgrounds (ESOL). Our End of Year 2017 oral language data showed a significant number of students who are not achieving an expected benchmark for oral language. Proficiency in oral language is considered vital by our teachers for self-expression and for communicating ideas, reflecting on their experiences and sharing with others. If they can’t say it they can’t write it. The speakers of others languages make up 88% of our roll.

Writing Reading What is our aspiration?

Our ultimate goal is to have every year 1 - year 3 who was identified in 2017, to make accelerated progress to be at their expected curriculum benchmark by

the end of 2018.

What is our Target?

To accelerate the progress of 80% of our years 1 - years 3 students in oral language using the ELLP assessment tool. RED=term 2 Green=term 3

All staff Professional and pedagogical leadership is critical in building the capability and capacity of teachers to promote and support children’s oral language learning and development.

teachers have in-depth knowledge of every child and a shared understanding of, and expectations for, their oral language learning and development

leaders and teachers work in partnership with parents and whänau, and with external agencies and specialist to support where necessary

our curriculum is highly supportive of children’s oral language learning and development

evaluation, inquiry and monitoring processes are driven by the need to promote and support children’s oral language learning and development.

Improvements needed to support oral language learning and development. Leadership capability to support teachers to design and implement a curriculum that:

gives priority to oral language and recognises oral language as an integral part of early literacy learning

is based on a shared and explicit understanding of children’s oral language development

includes deliberate teaching strategies to support all learners, making children’s oral language learning and development visible in assessment information

evaluating the impact of practices and strategies on improving oral language outcomes

capitalising on ‘home languages’ as a foundation for other language learning

Target 3: RAISING MATHEMATICS FOR OUR PACIFIKA STUDENTS Theory for Improvement Our End of Year 2017 National Standards data showed a significant gap between our Pasifika and others in Mathematics. At the end of 2017, we had 7/21 (33%) of our Pasifika Below the National Standard. Coupled with 1/21 (4) Well Below. With the current P.D provided by the MOE and a focus on Cultural Responsive Pedagogy, as well as this being a focus for our staff collaborative inquiry, we are confident to see a positive effect in 2018. What is our aspiration? Our ultimate goal is to have Pasifika students who were Below the Standard in 2017, to make accelerated progress to be at their expected curriculum level by the end of 2018. What is our Target? To accelerate the progress of at least 8 in Year 4 - Year 8 to have 42/50 (84%) at their expected curriculum level.

As well as teacher planning and preparation, student’s awareness of learning intentions, purposeful relevant tasks, differentiation of learning for different needs and to listen to student’s maths talk. We (Helen and Louise) also listened to teacher’s questioning, responses and feedback. Findings

All observations indicated a high level of care in the classroom, allowing for most students to participate in discussion and activities. Some students were observed supporting each other with reciprocal teaching. Most teachers had well embedded routines, were organised, prepared and the children were clear on their learning tasks and learning objectives. Some classes had opportunities for extension and extra challenges.

Some next steps: To make sure that a range of equipment is more readily available for students to explore and use for problem solving.

To think about the relevance of the learning tasks, putting them into meaningful problems.

To think about less teacher talk and more student talk, sometimes mat time/ pace too slow.

Some students were not clear on what their task was.

Explore different ways of grouping students for effective learning.

To be responsive to misconceptions.

Parents liked it when they saw students exploring fractions through cooking. Some students interviewed weren’t aware of the importance of maths. Develop growth mind set about maths Summarising at the end of the day may help with this – what did you learn today? What connections did you make in math – (maths diaries)?

At the end of 2017, we had 20/50 (40%) of our Boys Below the National Standard. Coupled with 8/50(16%) of our Boys at Well Below the National Standard, we therefore had 28/50 or 56% of boys working either below or well below the standard.

Conversations to be had to lift achievement levels in Writing: Targeting and Monitoring

Continue focus of tracking student achievement data (all students) using OTJ tracking sheets- teachers and school management analyse and triangulate different types of assessment data. Focused tracking allows teachers to identify concerns quickly and seek support immediately. ETAP school management system supporting this.

Continue intensive tracking for students identified as ‘at risk and vulnerable,’ targeted goals written for each targeted child and learning interventions monitored and reviewed.

Continue moderation process during staff meetings

Continue tracking past ALL students Resourcing

Continue additional teacher time funded by the BOT to keep class sizes below twenty during literacy lessons (Years 0-2) *Ideally we would like to keep our year 3 class below 20

End of Year Reading Results 2018

ST PATRICK’S PRIMARY SCHOOL ORAL LANGUAGE TARGET

Target 2: RAISING ORAL LANGUAGE OF YEARS 1-3

Theory for Improvement Our roll consists of huge numbers of students that are not of English speaking backgrounds (ESOL). Our End of Year 2017 oral language data showed a significant number of students who are not achieving an expected benchmark for oral language. Proficiency in oral language is considered vital by our teachers for self-expression and for communicating ideas, reflecting on their experiences and sharing with others. If they can’t say it they can’t write it. The speakers of others languages make up 88% of our roll.

What is our aspiration? Our ultimate goal is to have every year 1 - year 3 who was identified in 2017, to make accelerated progress to be at their expected curriculum benchmark by the end of 2018.

Mid- Year targeted students 2018

Did we reach our target? Targeted Group Results

Mid- year 36.9% or 14 students were working at below or well below the

curriculum level in reading

End of year 31.6% or 12 students were working at below or well below the curriculum level in reading

A shift of 5.3% or 2 students

It is exciting to see -The shift of students working Above their curriculum level is significant since the mid- year data was collected, 13.2% mid - year to 31.6%

end of year, a shift of 18.4% or 7 students from Met to Above.

Looking at the Bigger Picture (whole school)

3 less students are now working well below the curriculum level, 2 of these have shifted to working at Below the curriculum level

It is exciting to see 34% of our students working Above their correct curriculum level in reading.

There has been a strong shift this year of 14 students from Met to Above (13% shift)

77 students or 70% of students are working at or above the expected curriculum level.

30% or 33 students are working below or well below the correct curriculum level.

What practices made the most difference?

Having an extra teacher working in reading recovery, therefore Jules was able to take her learning directly back into the classroom which also

benefited other students.

Two staff observed Jules in action to take back reading strategies to their own classrooms as well as affirming current practice.

Reading Results – The Bigger Picture 2013 - 2018

Conversations to be had to Lift Achievement levels

Continue focused tracking of student achievement data (all students) using OTJ tracking sheets on Etap. Focused tracking allows teachers to identify concerns quickly and seek support immediately.

Continue Intensive tracking for students identified as ‘at risk and vulnerable,’ targeted goals written for each child and learning interventions monitored

and reviewed each term.

Continue a strong commitment by the school and BOT to ensure low student/teacher ratios in the Junior school. An additional part-time teacher was employed and funded by the BOT for terms 1 and 2 in 2018 to ensure a maximum of 1:15 (year 1) and 1:18 (year 2) ratio in Junior classes during literacy teaching and learning times. This gives our students the opportunity for the best start in these vital years.

Continue Steps to Literacy; intensive small group intervention: we currently have six groups running throughout the school. Our school funds individual

student workbooks for this intervention and site licenses for the supporting computer programme. This programme has a proven track record; we have

monitored its effectiveness over three years with evidence of positive outcomes for our students.

Reading recovery intervention provided for eight students this year (six years of age). Intervention that is partially funded by the Ministry and is proven to assist acceleration.

Jules May has undergone reading recovery training this year which has allowed another 4 students to be accelerated. Martin Herring will be employed in 2019 to train in reading recovery, which will also allow us an extra 4 students in 2019.

Teacher Aides provide extra support for ELL students

Oral Language support for SLT students

Special Education Services: We work closely with SES to support any high needs students. Resource Teachers of Learning and Behaviour: we work closely with RTLB. SENCO team meet twice a term to monitor needs and intervention for high needs students.

End of Year Maths Results 2018

ST PATRICK’S PRIMARY SCHOOL MATHS TARGET

Target 3: RAISING MATHEMATICS FOR OUR PACIFIKA STUDENTS

Theory for Improvement Our End of Year 2017 National Standards data showed a significant gap between our Pasifika and others in Mathematics. At the end of 2017, we had 7/21 (33%) of our Pasifika Below the National Standard. Coupled with 1/21 (4%) Well Below. So 8 ( 37%) Pasifika students were either working below or well below their expected curriculum level. With the current P.D provided by the MOE and a focus on Culturally Responsive Pedagogy, as well as this being a focus for our staff collaborative inquiry, we are confident to see a positive effect in 2018. What is our aspiration? Our ultimate goal is to have Pasifika students who were Below the Standard in 2017, to make accelerated progress to be at their expected curriculum level by the end of 2018. What is our Target? To accelerate the progress of at least 8 Pasifika students in Year 4 - Year 8 to have 42/50 (84%) at their expected curriculum level.

End of year targeted maths group- Pasifika

Did we reach our target? The original target group was 22 students 1 child in year 3 has increased the well below group from 2 to 3 students (because of this student’s age they could not be identified as working well below until this year) It is pleasing to see there are 2 less students working at below the curriculum level. 1 more Pasifika student is working above the correct curriculum level, than at the beginning of the year. Mid- year there were 16 students working below or well below their curriculum level (69.7%), compared to 15 students, which is only a shift of 1 student (68.1%). Mid – year there were 6 students working at or above their correct curriculum level (27.2%) , compared to 7 students at the end of the year ( 31.8%) a shift of 4.6% Updated targets At the end of the year SPPS had 26 Pasifika students:

Looking at the bigger picture the data is showing that there are a large number of vulnerable and at risk students – 43 students or 39% compared to 27 students or 25.4% in 2017.From previous years data, maths had been identified as an area of high focus. We have been pro-active in seeking professional development using Cognition Education, (through the Ministry of Education) over the last year and a half. Currently in New Zealand maths is undergoing a huge pedagogical change/shift and with this comes challenges for teachers and learners. We will continue to work closely with Steve Shallard to support our staff with their new learning. Our understanding is that it takes at least three years to see the benefits of change. We are relatively early in this journey. Some of the challenges for staff and students at our school have been:

Accessing and understanding maths literacy , as using rich maths tasks often has an increased amount of language to unpack. We can acknowledge that this is difficult for ELL learners. This will continue to be an area of focus.

Students and teachers have been exploring different ways for effective grouping and the children have been adapting to this, taking on different roles as learners, teachers and facilitators. Cooperative skills have been key here.

Teachers and children have been exploring/ developing talk moves – different ways of questioning and re- voicing learning.

Frontloading targeted groups before lessons has been challenging for many teachers, as this requires them to be well planned in advance and have effective independent group learning planned.

It will be important for our new staff members in 2019 to be closely supported with this new pedagogy.

Pasifika students still continue to be our group of highest need. What practices made the most difference?

Our facilitators modelling best practise, observations of best practise and giving effective feedback.

Using student voice regularly to inform practise.

Tapping into children’s interest and making connections to the purpose of learning ( culturally responsive practise)

Re grouping students.

Developing student’s mathematical language, increasing confidence in rich maths discussions and encouraging talk about their learning.

Children as teachers.

Conversations to be had to lift achievement levels in Mathematics

Continue to identify and monitor targeted students using tracking sheets. Feedback progress and next steps twice a term (staff meetings) – Etap has worked well for this.

Resourcing and support: Continue teacher aide support working with students in years 1-3, allowing the teacher to focus on target students,

Home and School Partnership:

Basic Facts Challenge.

Continue emphasis on Maths Whizz —additional strategy and knowledge practice opportunities integrated into the classroom and homework programme (encourages home and school partnership) New teachers will need some professional development in this.

Rich tasks and student voice for maths will be a home school partnership workshop focus for 2019 .

Inquiry and Review Cycle

Encourage our two new teachers development through Teacher as Inquiry and self-review of programmes in maths. Their new learning to be shared regularly in staff meetings.

Professional Development:

Talk Moves

Professional Development with Steve Shallard (Cognition) will continue into 2019.

A wish would be to get – Alberta Hunter to support us with Bobbie Maths with Pasifika students as our focus.

Board Comments and Reflections: Higher learning needs of students entering school – How is this effecting our community?

Is there a tracking system or device to track these students?

Mathematical Rich Task Teaching- How has the change of thinking effected the teachers?

How does the programme KUMOR help with Maths?

We teach using many strategies to solve a problem

To whom it may concern

Kiwi Sport Spend by St Patrick’s Kilbirnie

In 2018 the senior students of the school were provided an opportunity to not

only extend their swimming skills, but take part in additional water sports

under the care of proper instructors at the Kilbirnie Swimming Pools. They

participated in kayak skills and kayak polo, along with diving and flipperball.

The junior students had regular lessons helping them learn to swim.

We have no transport costs, so we are able to have more lessons than other

schools normally do.
