08052017 - Zina Cordery

P&C President’s report Welcome back to term 2 for the P&C.

I attended the opening night of the the school musical - The Sound of Music. It was a wonderful performance by the students involved, the actors, musicians, backstage support, teachers, other staff and the supportive parents. The audience was thrilled by the student's performance and i'm sure the other performances over the weekend were received just as well. Congratulations to all involved.

Most other issues that we have been working on are progressing well.

Unfortunately the Uniform Shop still has two issues that are still unresolved.

1.

The storage issue is still unresolved. MaryRose is working with Mr Van Maan to free up the adjacent store room for the storage of stock. Hopefully that will be done within the next two weeks.

2.

The internet is still not active at the uniform shop. We have had to move to a NBN account for the internet as the ADSL system is being phased out. But we have had a problem that we cannot find the connection for where the modem needed to be plugged into the service. We had a NBN technician come today and he was able to find the connection. We are waiting for the external service providers to connect this external connection to the school’s system so we can plug in the modem and get online.

Sarah’s report from the Uniform Shop will also touch on these points.

A parent approached me at the yr7 BBQ and mentioned that she was concerned as to the state of the toilets and that her child didn't feel comfortable going to the toilet. She has offered to work with the school to collect photos and present to the next meeting so we can decide with the school what should happen about this.

I would also like to take the opportunity to remind all involved with the P&C that we are a volunteer organisation and that if parents have any matters to raise with any of the position holders of the P&C, they are to use formal lines of communication through email to identify who they are and what their concerns are. They should be voiced in a respectful and considerate manner.

Looking forward to all the good work that all our members are involved with this year.

P&C Principals Report May 8, 2017

EDUCATION CENTRAL – IMPLICATIONS FOR CHURCHLANDS

1. The document with this title was released by the Government in January of this year and can be found at https://www.markmcgowan.com.au/files/Education_Central.pdf

2. This provides us with a combination of certainty and uncertainty. The one certain fact is that the City Beach proposal will now not go ahead. The uncertainty now lies on two fronts. We now know that there is a proposed new inner city GATE school scheduled to open in 2020 with an associated “new Perth Modern School” also scheduled to have its first LIA Year 7 intake in 2020. The uncertainty lies in a concern that there is a chance that this schedule may be difficult to meet which will then place an additional year of pressure on the Churchlands SHS site.

3. The second area of uncertainty is in the proposed operations of the LIA boundaries (yet to be finalised). On reading the documentation, Churchlands will have to accept students from outside of its new LIA if they previously resided within our current LIA which will no doubt include almost all of the new LIA for Perth Modern School. The uncertainty is will 100% of students in the new LIA for Perth Mod attend Perth Mod or will only 50% attend Perth Mod, or will it be somewhere in between. This clearly will create massive constraints on our ability to forecast enrolment numbers, which impacts on recruitment, timetableling and the provision of classrooms. The human resource implications together with financial concerns will be sorely tested.

ASSESSMENTS

1. Currently we are planning for major assessments through much of term 2. The first of these is the NAPLAN tests in Numeracy, Reading, writing, spelling and comprehension which will carried out for all year 7 and 9 students (around 950 students) this week (commencing on May 8). As students can meet their numeracy and Literacy standards required for graduation by scoring sufficiently high in the numeracy, Reading and Writing components of the NAPLAN these tests become more important.

2. As soon as NAPLAN is over the mid semester exams begin with all practical exams held in week 4 followed by a 2-week (weeks 5 and 6) timetable suspension for upper school written exams.

3. For lower school Year 8 exams are held in week 5 and Year 9and 10 exams are in week 6. 4. Teachers are then heavily involved in marking, moderating through cross marking, entering

raw data from which Heads of Learning Areas will determine cut off scores for grades. Then teachers enter report comments, which are compiled checked, copied for filing and finally made available for distribution at the end of the term. Perhaps this explains why term 2 is always the most stressful period in the life of a teacher.

EVENTS

1. It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the outstanding production of “The Sound of Music” over four performances from May 4 to May 6. Student vocalists were outstanding and the work and commitment of teachers Mrs Padley, Mrs Sutherland and Mr Sealey was an absolute credit to their professionalism. There were many other support students and teachers who made this an incredible school event.

2. So far this term we have also run the Coral Bay Camp for around 70 students, had amazing attendance and contributions to the Relay for Life event, conducted a memorable ANZAC service with the full school, conducted a World Challenge training camp and participated in a very successful Year 7 lightning Carnival.

BUILDING WORKS AND SERVICES

1. Driving down Lucca street this term you would have noticed an acre of flattened yellow sand where our old gymnasium used to be. Subterranean works have already commenced on the new technology centre plus additional parking in this and is scheduled for completion early December this year. All current buildings remain on target for handover on July 14.

2. Additional works have been scheduled to upgrade the Junior Secondary administration area and to convert the utility room G7 to a second Dance/drama room. There is also planning underway to convert the Dance Utility room at the top of the stairs into a series of offices which will host a new health centre, Community Service centre and our Relief Coordinator’s office. Construction of all of these works is scheduled for June 1 with completion date the same as the Technology centre.

3. The Churchlands Foundation has been raising funds to create between a 200 and 400 kilowatt solar system array to subsidise our energy costs. At a meeting yesterday it was agreed to put out a dual tender, one of 200 kilowatts and the other of 400 Kilowatts, then depending on quotes, we will determine which bests suits the school. Churchlands has become a Department of Education trial school for this project.

All parents/guardians were sent an email with a link to the Entry Form on the school’s website asking them if they, a family member or friend would like to exhibit at the Art Exhibition. We currently have 136 artworks entered but expect to receive a lot more Entry Forms during the next two weeks.

Marketing We had sponsors for the design and printing of 10,000 colour invitations and a leaflet distribution company is sponsoring the delivery of 9,200 of these to households in Churchlands, City Beach, Wembley Downs, Wembley and Floreat over the next three weeks. We will ask local cafes, restaurants and shops to display the remaining invitations. The first of a series of three e invitations was emailed to parents/guardians this week and information will be in the next Churchlands Bytes. The e invitation was also emailed to local primary schools for them to email to their parents. Posters have also been printed. A selection of artworks and the e invitation is on the Art Exhibition Facebook Page - Art at Churchlands. A press release has been prepared and local newspapers have been contacted. Banners and signage will go up during the week before the Art Exhibition.

Volunteers We have some new volunteers this year and rosters have been done for Artwork Receiving Day on 20th May, hanging the artwork and setting up from Monday 22nd May to Friday 26th May and to help at the event from Friday 26th May to Sunday 28th May 2017. However, more volunteers are needed to hang the artwork.
