Board Report – Open meeting

On Tuesday June 13th the Board held it’s annual open meeting and welcomed the attendance of special guest speakers.  

Staff Board representatives provided an overview of maintenance and planned updates to facilities around the school grounds and confirmed that the new signs for our welcome to country have arrived. They advised of the upcoming performances for students involved in music programs and the recently awarded grant being used towards the Rugby Clinic. 

Feedback from staff was positive in relation to the recent PP to Year 4 Swimming Lessons at the ARC and options for next year’s lessons will be considered. An overview of the recently conducted lockdown was also provided and while the children responded well during the practice there were improvements identified for the Emergency Management Plan identified.  

Our guests in attendance presented to the Board. 

Andrea from Camp Australia provided a brief overview of ways that our before and after school care provider engages with our children and opportunities for supporting our broader school community. 

Cathy Baron, Principal of Lakelands Senior High School, spoke passionately about the exciting programs and improvements at the school – she encourages parents of year 5s and 6s to tour the school and welcomes the opportunity for people to learn more about what’s on offer. 

Joan de Castro and Vicky Hartill from the City of Cockburn spoke about a range of services, activities, events and support relevant to the school and our community.  

We wish teachers, students and parents/carers a wonderful two week break over the upcoming school holidays.
