School Council Presidents Report Hello Families, we had a busy week at School Council last week with progress updates on the school gym project and installation of the Valerie St fencing as well as the great work completed at the recent working bee. We also discussed the Premier, the Hon Daniel Andrews’ visit the week before and commended the staff and students, particularly our school leaders, for organising a fantastic program for his visit with very short notice. On the day we had some valuable conversations with the Premier, and local member Mr Nick Staikos, about our schools future and opportunities for further development. After our meeting we all attended School Council governance training provided by the Department. Having several new members on the Council it was great to learn more about the role of School Councils. We learnt about our roles and responsibilities including the code of conduct, strategic planning, policy development and finance such as fundraising and monitoring the schools budget. It was also good to have a clear picture on school council functions and areas we are not responsible for such as curriculum and learning, student management and staff employment. Thank you to all the School Council members for enthusiastically participating in what was a long evening! I now have a dedicated email address so feel free to contact me at [email protected] Enjoy the school holidays everyone! Gen Holiday Security Parents are encouraged to keep a close eye on the school grounds and buildings during the holiday period. Report any suspicious behavior to the police or Departmental security.

Caulfield Police 9534 9500

Department of Education (Emergency Management) 9589 6266 It is most important for the school community to be proactive in this regard.

Walkathon Thank you to all the families who have already paid for the Walkathon, we have so far raised $8023.00. Payments can be made via the QKR app (if you are registered).

Art Room Newspaper Donations The Art room would like to thank all of our Tucker Road families who have donated newspapers to the Art room over the last two terms. We have built up a steady and plentiful supply. We will happily accept any more newspaper donations but are not longer in urgent need. Thank you everyone who has donated for your support.

Yvette Barton and Deaane O'Brien (Visual Art Teachers)
