SCHOOL COUNCIL REPORT
Hello all,
Firstly, a big thank you to parents/carers who have completed our Parent/Carer Engagement Survey. The number of responses and feedback received so far has been incredibly valuable and has helped immensely with understanding our parent/carers thoughts on how we can engage better. If you would still like to have say, the survey is still open and you can access it through the below QR code. Alternatively, clicking this link will also work: https://forms.office.com/r/cLJ9bQBLQq As mentioned in my last School Council Report, a big ‘ hot topic ’ for School Council this year has been increasing parent/ carer engagement, both through social family events/fundraising and in the classrooms. Whilst it has always been something in the back of our minds for the past 15 months, the message came out loud and clear in the 2022 School Review that this needed to be an area of focus. We are also excited to announce that after a long hiatus, we have re - started an interim Fundraising Sub - Committee and we are hoping to have our first activity during Term 3.
In other news, at School Council ’ s most recent meeting on 13 June, we:
• Heard that our uniform supplier is currently sourcing a children ’ s spray jacket. This was in response to our student reps report at the May School Council meeting requesting a waterproof jacket as part of school uniform; • Discussed concerns around local school zoning and the number of feeder primary schools currently allocated to our Secondary Campus. School Council will now advocate to the Department of Education to review our zone; • Heard about our Executive Leadership ’ s team meeting with our local Member of Parliament, Lily D ’ Ambrosio, about issues and challenges for our school;
• Had a status update on quotes obtained for refurbishing the Primary Campus toilets; and
• Had a status update on the Primary Campus ’ s front gate and the new kiss and drop zone on The Lakes Boulevard, to commence in Term 3. Enjoy the winter school break and 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!
Cheers,
Amanda Farrelly School Council President
