Strategy

Policies Review
Reporting to Parents on Student Progress - there has been lots of information shared about this process in the newsblogs this term and late last term.  Two parent information meetings were held to help parents understand reports.


Consultation

7.45pm.  Health and Safety

1. Request to seek to employ a person in a teacher aide capacity who has experience with tackle rugby and can safely supervise children who wish to play tackle rugby or bullrush at lunchtime.  Cost for 45 minutes each lunchtime until the end of term 3 is $1,156.  We still have $2000 for one off projects which will benefit our year 6-8 students.

2. Camp arrangements are not straightforward this year.  A separate document, "Teacher in charge of camp" will be sent by email.

Board to consider - the principal needs to be teacher in charge of camp and is also needed at school as the end of term 4 is a very challenging time for students and the community and the principal is needed on site.  So there is a plan around this in the notes.
Also note principal's surgery provision.

Move that the Board accept the initial proposal for intermediate camp in 2021 subject to all health and safety, permissions, health and behaviour forms and suitable parent help being presented at October Board Meeting.  Board accepts the plan around the "teacher in charge" of camp doc which will be shared by email.

3.

Board to consider the notes and risks identified in the teacher in charge of camp doc which will be shared via email.

Move:
EITHER that the Board accept the initial proposal for year 6 camp in 2021 subject to all health and safety, permissions, health and behaviour forms and suitable parent help being presented at September Board Meeting, accepting liability for loss of camp if principal is not able to do it, or if another solution can't be found.

OR: the Board opts for 3-4 EOTC days for year 6 at a cost of $1500.

NAG 6 Administration :
8.05pm
Request: Last year the Board offered to contribute to the end of year staff function but we had already had it and the offer was put on hold. Would the Board like to contribute to this year's function?
