A number of reports were presented with the main outcomes being:

Recruitment of staff for 2023 - Families will be aware that our school is recruiting for 6 positions including Assistant Principal. Discussed how we could assist with recruitment such as a promotional video of our school. We are also seeking accomodation options for new staff as we do not want this to be a barrier to recruit. We have had one offer of rental accomodation from a school family. If other families have accommodation options available please contact the school.
New crew neck jumper option presented by Student Exec and approved by School Council.
Year 11 camp approved to Melbourne.
Repairs to boys toilets discussed.
