School Council
School Council met on Monday evening and looked at range of topics on a busy agenda.
| Agenda item | Discussion | Actions |
| Principal’s report | Enrolments
Staffing and recruitment | Prep enrolments are open year 6-7 transition offers go out July 1st. Process in place for recruitment using Recruitment Online and Seek. |
| Site security | OSHC and external hirers are compromised when running programs as their Child safe responsibilities are impacted by our open gates at the end of the school day. | Commencing in term 3 all gates will be locked at 3.45pm and families won’t be accessing the playground after that time. Arrangements will be made for EFM and external program parents to collect children from designated exit points. On Fridays the external gates will close at 4.15 pm to accommodate PC fundraising and sales. Additional gates and fencing are to be added to the Sebastapol Street OSHC entry to enhance security. |
| Finance | Documents and reports approved for current accounting period. Confirmed budget approved. |
Elements of the budget were highlighted and discussed by Council. |
| OSHC | Extra spaces concerns and cancellation issues impacting family access to Team Kids | Application for additional spaces is pending approval from Department. The numbers of cancellations and frequency of these has been discussed and School Council are supporting the extension of the cancellation period from two days out to seven days as a temporary measure to ensure greater opportunity to access these spaces on particular days. This will be reviewed. |
| Annual Implementation Plan | Meeting with Regional staff and leadership team to look at mid-year progress of the AIP is scheduled for later this week. | Details of the work and next steps will be shared with staff, Council and the community after the meeting. Focus will be on Numeracy, wellbeing and the new Victorian Teaching and Learning model. |
| Parent Committee | Very successful Mother’s day stall and morning gathering | Some changes to the calendar of events due to clashes and timing. Trivia night planned for later in term 3 TBC. |
