Some of the exciting opportunities that presented themselves include working closely with the Clarence Valley Anglican School community on the further development and improvement of Farnworth Farm, with our first very successful Year 4 camp being held. The property at 83 North Boambee Rd was purchased for the intended use as ‘International House BDC’. In September an opportunity presented itself for the BDC Council to explore a new campus at Woolgoolga to be known as BDC Northern Beaches campus. This work continues, with interest growing from the families of potential students. Installation of solar panels to the Branson Centre was completed during the Christmas holidays. The college introduced Edstart, a facility offering parents an alternative way of paying fees. I am also proud that our year 12 students have again achieved the highest ranking of the Coffs Coast Regional Schools. Mr David Ford Chair of College Council Message from the Principal Descriptive Information School Sector: Independent College Address: 111 North Boambee Road, Coffs Harbour, NSW Total Enrolments: 1013 (August) students including Kindergarten Year Levels Offered: Kindergarten to Year 12 Co-educational or Single Sex: Co-educational Day or Boarding School: Day school Bishop Druitt College is the only school on the Coffs Coast with a K-12 school community on a single campus. Students who attend Bishop Druitt College come from a diverse range of ethnic and religious backgrounds. The majority of students are born in Australia, including a small percentage of Aboriginal students, with the remaining coming from more than 45 countries. The students born in other countries originate from the European, Asian, American and African continents. This diversity is also represented through 33 different languages being spoken in our families’ homes. I wish to thank my staff for their dedication to their students and to our goal of continuous improvement. The College Council also needs to be recognised for their continued commitment to the school. Our college resources have improved throughout the year and our council was instrumental in supporting this reinvestment into our facilities as well as supporting new facilities and partnerships. 3 The Bishop Druitt Way ‘The Bishop Druitt Way’ is a phrase that was developed in 2018 to reflect our unique college identity. It has since evolved to support our college values and foundations and is summarized into five key points. ● Empowered For Life ● Embracing Diversity ● Prioritising Wellbeing ● Pursuit Of Excellence ● In Service Of Others The Bishop Druitt Way has, in 2019, become part of our college vernacular and has permeated our daily rites and rituals. New Bishop Druitt College Hymn Lord we thank you for your blessings And for guidance on the way. For the vision of our founders On Gumbaynggirr land we pray. Joined here at Bishop Druitt College Learning and growing every day. ‘Faithfulness in Service’ stirs us To reach out with love and care, Learning to respect each other; These are values that we share. Strength in diversity enriches, Harmony is our heartfelt prayer. When our days of school are ending Give us strength to persevere. Build integrity within us, Tempted not by doubt or fear. Give us grace to go with courage And your peace to draw us near. HSC Results 2019 I would like to congratulate the class of 2019 receiving a state ranking of 177.

Mr Cook: I do not think they are public. They were agreements between the then minister for education and each of the heads of the Catholic or—they will be in the department; I just do not think they are public, that is all. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Is there a problem with making those lists available? Mr Cook: I cannot imagine. Maybe I could take it on notice and see whether there is. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: I am just trying to ascertain whether they might be available before I talk to Christian Schools Australia over the next couple of days, but it sounds like that might not be the case. Mr Cook: They are probably archived, because they are 2013 documents, so we would have to actually go off site to get them, I imagine. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: If you could attempt to do that before you appear on the next occasion that would be useful. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice Answer From 2014 to 2017 the Students First Support Fund provides non-government representative bodies with funding to undertake projects and provide targeted support services to non-government schools in relation to the Australian Government’s education priorities.
