SCHOOL COUNCIL REPORT
Hello all,
Like many of you are probably thinking, it is hard to believe we are at the September school holidays already – where has this year gone?!?
As I write this, School Council is still buzzing from the Fathers Day Breakfast last Friday! What an absolute awesome turnout for a first - time event to celebrate the fathers and special persons in our school community! To give an indication as to the turnout, over 150 egg and bacon rolls were cooked and served! A massive thank you to all the dads, grandfathers and special persons who braved the chilly 10 - degree weather to spend the time before school with their students. A very special thank you also goes to Marcus, Grant and Briohny for all of their organising and legwork. I would also like to acknowledge and thank Bakers Delight at Westfield Plenty Valley and Altomonte Farms in Donnybrook for their generous contributions; and Camp Australia for supplying coffee free of charge to our families. This breakfast is an important step in further engaging our school community and strengthening school pride, both of which align with the core areas of focus in our Strategic Plan.
In other news, at School Council ’ s most recent meeting on 5 September, we:
•
Were presented with Council ’ s recent OHS Audit Report;
• Moved to enter into the optional term of our Agreement with Camp Australia to continue to provide the Outside School Hours Care service for The Lakes;
• Moved to enter a new agreement with APlus Schoolwear to continue as our uniform supplier;
• Received an update on the status of our request for signage to be erected on Plenty Road as a wayfinding measure to our school, Merriang SDS and the Collingwood English Language Centre South Morang Campus;
•
Endorsed proposed Curriculum Days for 2024.
As always, if you have any issues, ideas, questions that you would like raised at our next Council meeting, or any other support, we are more than happy to hear from families so please feel free to send me an email to amanda.farrelly@education.vic.gov.au. Council meets twice per term on a Tuesday at 5:30pm and visitors and observers are always welcome!
Enjoy the two - week break!
