Uniform Update

Lowes have received stock of the white and grey 'SBC' school socks. From the first day of Term 2, all students must be wearing these socks. Any other socks will incur a uniform infringement. Lowes have given a temporary markdown to the price of the socks.

Any families that are finding that the cost-of-living pressures are stopping them from being able to purchase the new socks can confidentially send their child’s TA or Student Wellbeing Team member an email about gift-cards that we have available to help.

A recent update to the uniform policy means that no t-shirts or long sleeve tops are to be noticeable under the uniform. This is a change as previously students were allowed to wear white - it is now that no t-shirts, short or long, are to be visible. 

DOBCEL Consultative Committee

The DOBCEL Board provides opportunities for members of the diocesan education community, and others with relevant expertise, to participate in the mission of DOBCEL, to assist its governance and decision making and to inform faithful stewardship of the mission through DOBCEL Consultative Committees.

A range of vacancies exists across the DOBCEL Consultative Committees. These committees are an invaluable opportunity to ensure that the work of the Board and CEB reflects the needs of DOBCEL school communities right across the Diocese. Typically, the committees meet once each term for a duration of 90-120 Minutes. The opportunity exists to attend face-to-face or virtually.  For volunteers to the organisation, compensation for expenses is available. 

Opportunities exist for parents/guardians/carers with a child/children enrolled in a DOBCEL School to join one of the following; 

• Catholic Faith Community & Culture Consultative Committee
• Children & Young People Safeguarding & Wellbeing Consultative Committee
• Family and Community Engagement Consultative Committee
• Learning and Teaching Consultative Committee

In the event of multiple nominations, the Board will invite Consultative Committee members on the basis of the general balance of the committee, taking into account factors such as gender, diversity, skill mix, location, school size, etc.

For more information please contact Jo Mckee jmckee@dobcel.catholic.edu.au or speak with your school principal. Expressions of interest are open until Wednesday, 3rd May."
