The Taieri Plain is a clearly defined geographical area which has a proud tradition
of sturdy independence and a commitment to its unique mix of town and country.
It is a community which is willing to embrace change and has looked to diversify
and grow to meet the evolving needs of the markets for its products. It has warmly
embraced the technical and scientific world in its desire to maximise its production
yet has retained its sense of cohesiveness and of family values.

Families of the Taieri Plain choose Taieri College to educate their young people.
They want:
     a co-educational seamless school
     a safe, supportive environment
     broad-based balanced education
     strong community links
     an education that will equip their young people for the 21st Century
     credentials that will give students from the school the personal resources to
      fulfil their goals.

At the same time the community wants its young people to be nurtured and cared
for by staff with values similar to their own. They look to the college to help them
teach their young about respect and caring for others, about being honest and
trustworthy and to learn about hard work and commitment and the benefits and
rewards these can bring.

ANNUAL PLAN GOALS FOR 2020

The Board of Trustees has identified the following annual plan goals for 2020:

Goal 1: Success as Maori
Raising Maori student achievement and strength of identity. Cultural inclusiveness will be
the focus of our annual college wide well-being programme. Academically, we will
continue to develop the Tier 2 tracking programmes to enhance the academic
achievement of Maori students. Our specific academic goal is for 75% of Maori students
at Year 11 attain Level 1 NCEA in 2020.

Goal 2: NCEA Achievement
Enhancing NCEA Achievement. Our college-wide NCEA goals are:
  85% of all Year 11 students attain Level 1 NCEA in 2020
  85% of all Year 12 students attaining Level 2 NCEA in 2020
  70% of all Year 13 students attaining Level 3 NCEA in 2020

Goal 3: Tracking of Years 7-10
Accelerated progress of Year 7-10 students at risk of not achieving. Curriculum Areas will
make an early identification of students who are at risk of not achieving (Tier 2 students) at
the Curriculum level recommended by the Ministry of Education and will develop and
employ strategies to accelerate the learning of the targeted students.

    Year 7–8 Writing: All students identified as operating 'below' the desired Curriculum
     level of learning should move at least two subsets in their writing ability.
    Year 9–10 Science: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their Science
     capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and half of identified Tier 2
     students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.
    Year 9-10 English: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their Writing
     capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and half of identified Tier 2
     students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.
    Year 9-10 Mathematics Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their
     Numeracy capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and half of identified
     Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.

Goal 4: Pastoral
Restorative strategies will be further enhanced as part of our college-wide behaviour
management practice in the classroom. Recognition of the importance of student well-
being will be supported by staff.

Goal 5: Technology
BYOD will be successfully implemented at Years 12 and 13. This will include further progress
of Microsoft 365 use and implementation.

     subsets in their writing ability.
    Year 9–10 Science: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their Science capability. Their learning progression will
     be tracked and half of identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.
    Year 9-10 English: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their Writing capability. Their learning progression will be
     tracked and half of identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.
    Year 9-10 Mathematics Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of their Numeracy capability. Their learning
     progression will be tracked and half of identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the course of the year.

Result:     Partially achieved

Of the 14 Maori students at Year 11, five were unsuccessful at obtaining Level
1 NCEA. Of the five who failed to achieve, one left school and one arrived at
the beginning of August. If we were to exclude these two students then our
success rate would have been 75%.

In regards to Maori strength of identity, we have continued to make
significant gains with the ongoing development of the Maori-Pasifika Council.
  We are reviewing the delivery of Kapa Haka at Taieri College.
  We are offering Level 1 Maori as a stand-alone course for 2020. Gemma
     Tuhega will teach this.
  Continued funding of Kaitiaki.
  Our Kahu Huruhuru is displayed proudly in our main foyer, and presented
     to our Senior Mana Pounamu recipient to wear at the awards and senior
     prizegiving.
  Junior Kapa Haka numbers continue to be strong.

All of these initiatives have certainly had a positive effect on Maori strength
and identity.

GOAL 2
Enhancing NCEA Achievement. Our college-wide goal is for 85% of all Year
12 students attaining Level 2 NCEA in 2019.

Result:      Partially achieved

At first glance, the overall results at Year 12 look disappointing. After going
through the 36 2019 Year 12 students who failed to achieve NCEA Level 2, 14
left school after 1 July 2019, five were from Learning Support, one is an Arabic
speaking student and one arrived at Taieri in August. When I took these
students out of the overall calculations, our percentage of Year 12 students
who obtained Level 2 NCEA in 2019 was 89.6% which is outstanding.

GOAL 3
Tracking of Year 7-10 achievement. Curriculum Areas will make an early
identification of students who are at risk of not achieving (Tier 2 students) at
the Curriculum level recommended by the Ministry of Education and will
develop and employ strategies to accelerate the learning of the targeted
students.
    Year 7–8 Writing: All students identified as operating 'below' the
       desired Curriculum level of learning should move at least two subsets
       in their writing ability.
    Year 9-10 English: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment of
       their Writing capability. Their learning progression will be tracked and
       half of identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the
       course of the year.

     Year 9–10 Science: Tier 2 students will be identified using assessment
          of their Science capability. Their learning progression will be tracked
          and half of identified Tier 2 students will graduate into Tier 1 during the
          course of the year.

2019 Year 10 Tier 2 Group Tracking
At Year 10, 24 students were initially identified as Tier 2 with one student
leaving at the end of Term 2. The data collected comparing Term 1 sample
pieces to Term 2 and Term 3 CATs suggest that 33% of students have
confidently graduated into Tier 1 by gaining results of at least Level 5 Beginner
on both pieces of CAT writing. However, 71% of identified students have
earned at least Level 5 Beginner on one piece of CAT Writing.

Further breakdown of the data shows:
   Creative Writing - nine students are now hitting Level 5; 12 students jumping at
    least two subsets (three didn't do one of the pieces).
   Formal Writing (23 students tracked) - 16 students now hitting at least Level 5; 16
    students jumping at least two subsets (three didn't do one of the pieces).

Overall, the goal has been achieved in part at Year 10. While the majority of
students are not writing consistently at Level 5 based on two assessments, the
majority can be said to have been boosted as shown by the subsets moved
from the beginning of the year writing to their CAT results. This indicates the
identified Year 10s were further behind in their writing and had more ground
to make up during the year than the Year 9 identified students.

(Note: data shows number of students at the end of Term Three still at Tier 2
who were identified initially in Term One only).

Teachers reflect and describe individual strategies they intend on using on
KAMAR Student Notes. This allows a cross-curricular approach to be used for
students identified in multiple subjects. These may be specific to the Science
Capability of related to student self-management or their work ethic. These
strategies are then incorporated into the teaching programme over
subsequent units.

Students are identified as Tier 2 using KAMAR mark book and collated in a
department folder on Science Admin on Sharepoint. The tables below show
the students who have been identified as Tier 2 at the end of Term One and
Three this year.

 GOAL 4
 Restorative strategies will be implemented as part of our college wide
 behaviour management practice in the classroom. Recognition of the
 importance of student well-being will be supported by staff.
Result:     Success

Very successful teacher only day followed up by the formation of a
“Restorative Practices” teachers committee. Regular professional
development snippets were delivered during staff meetings and staff were
introduced to several specific strategies around good restorative practice.
Staff have access to several resources on a specific SharePoint site where
than can easily access these resources giving the capacity to effectively
implement good restorative practice in their classrooms. Further resources will
be developed and a greater understanding of restorative practice will be
undertaken in 2020.

 GOAL 5
 We will work with Myth to develop a new platform for our college website.

Result:     Success

Successfully implemented the new website and training of staff has been
completed. This is easier to use and update and works on all platforms.

 GOAL 6
 Our Professional Learning and Performance Appraisal (PLPA) programme
 will be administered via Arinui school wide appraisal tool.

Result :    Partial Success

Difficult to gauge as we were “ambushed” by the removal of appraisal
requirements from the PPTA Collective agreement in the middle of the year. I
have advised Arinui that we will not be using their software package in 2020.
We wait with anticipation for the direction that we are heading in regards to
appraisal and attestation of Teaching Standards.
