    Welcome back to everyone – I hope you have all had a terrific break. Isn’t it great having Easter &
    the extra day for Anzac Day at the end of the holidays???!!! Once again, another busy term. If we
    continue to support each other and let people know how we are travelling, we should have another
    successful term.

     Thanks to Mandy C for her persistence and excellent submissions for 2 students for D&I
    funding – both have been successful. For one of these students the process was started in
    term 3 last year.
     Thank you to everyone for the successful Let’s Celebrate : Making Better Choices day on
    the last day of term. With further feedback we will be able to make further improvements –
    there were few parts of the process that needs to be re-visited. It’s great to have seen
    everyone enjoying the activities.

    Up-dates/Administration
    1. Staff Changes
     Graham Gordon has made a decision to resign – effective Friday 15 th July 2011. Graham will
    be taking long service leave till then. I do appreciate his offer to help us out – especially for
    the 1st 3 days of this term. I wish him the very best for the future.
     Debbie Payne is the successful applicant at Huntly PS beginning 23/5/2011. I also wish her
    the very best for the future.
     I will make announcements shortly re how we manage the above roles ……..
    2. Long Service Leave : the following people will be taking leave this term :
    Lisa Welch : weeks 1 & 2
    Mandi Jennings : weeks 4 to end of week 7
    Jann Watson : 2 weeks in May
    Kellie Parsons : week 10
    Dzintra : week 10
    As can be seen, there are many staff taking leave, for this to happen to this degree, it does mean we
    all have to support each other to ensure smooth transition. Thank you to all.

    Creating & Supporting A Performance & Development Culture

    1. Meeting Schedule : this is being emailed as a separate document. There are essentially 4
    components to it :
    1. LRPS Teaching Team with a professional learning focus – I will share the
    framework for this Wednesday. These will mainly take place on a Monday, however,
    the reality is that sometimes these need to be changed. Where possible, we will
    simply swap the Mon & Tuesday focus around.
    2. Combined Learning Community– with an explicit focus on individual student
    learning, coaching, professional learning & management. A framework for these will
    also be presented Wednesday. Thanks to Kellie for her creative thinking, we will all
    need to get used to the following : NLC – Nolan St Learning Community P-2 or 3-6;
    HLC – Holmes Rd Learning Community P-2 or 3-6; CLC – Combined Learning
    Communities P-2 or 3-6. Most of these will be combined and be held on a Tuesday
    where possible.
    3. Merger Teams - Lifting Literacy, Lifting Numeracy, Inquiry Learning, Student
    Engagement will be held 2 x per term. These will be held on a Monday. Leadership
    Teams will meet every 2 weeks…. mostly on a Monday.
    4. Consultative Team, OH&S Team, FFS Team, Admin Team – these will be held at
    agreed times.
    5. The Executive Team – Dz, Mandy C & Graham’s replacement – will meet weekly.
    The Admin Team – will meet once every 2 weeks.
    The Leadership Team has decided that meetings in most cases will be combined and we will
    continue to alternate campuses.
    2. Term 2 calendar : thanks to Graham for organising this. Additional events cannot be added
    without appropriate consultation and approval by the Leadership Team.
    3. Ultranet mini lessons for anyone interested (including ES Team) : thanks to Mel, these will
    be on the 1st Thursday of the month.
    IT>PM – 3rd Thursday of every month……both @ Nolan St
    These are optional – please keep track of what you attend for evidence of prof learning for
    the Perf Review process & for VIT registration.
    4. Extra hour non face to face : this is a logistic challenge!! I’m optimistic this will sorted out
    soon. Thank you to those people who have made suggestions.
