WOWSERS!!!
We are so proud of the generosity which was shown by our amazing School Community. In support of Homelessness Week we rasied $365.50, which has been donated to Dandenong Ranges Emergency Relief Service (DRERS) to support those in need across our local community.
We were so impressed with the gratitude art pieces, we have put them all together in a movie; which we will be sharing with our community next week.

School Council News
School Council met on Monday 17th August via Webex for our fourth meeting for the year. Within the remote context, School Council continues to review school finances, maintenance schedules and policy updates. All updated policies are published on the school website for the community's information.
In light of the current situation and with consideration of the many stressors that families are balancing, DET has allowed school councils to reduce the mandated number of meetings from eight to six in 2020. As a group we decided to reduce our meetings for the year to seven, agreeing to cancel the meeting scheduled for September.
When we meet in October, we will be commencing a School Council self assessment process, in order to identity our strengths as a group and opportunities for improvement in readiness for 2021. At this time, we will also begin reviewing the 2021 budget.
As always, if you have any queries related to the functions of school council- please feel free to be in touch with me.
