Community update July 2025
We're excited to bring you a new "Board Corner", giving you a quick rundown of what's happening with the school board. We meet twice a term, and while these updates aren't exhaustive (full papers are online), we'll share the highlights!
At our last meeting we:
Reviewed our Annual Plan: Conducted one of three reviews we complete each year to track progress against our annual plan and worked with the leadership team on areas of focus for the remainder of the year. The annual plan is developed as a tool used to implement our strategic plan which is prepared three yearly and is due for review next year (and is available on the website).
Approved New Learning Space: We were excited to approve expenditure for a new learning space near the hall that Kerry had been investigating, which will support the growth in our intermediate school in the short term and present a range of opportunities in future including as a de-escalation or safe space.
Conducted Mid-Year Budget Review: Lisa took us through the mid year budget update and we remain on track.
Received Positive Health & Safety Review: We heard from Alison about an independent review of our Health & Safety policies for out-of-the-classroom learning. The review found our team are doing a brilliant job and suggested a few potential improvements which are being implemented.
Began Discussions on Generative AI Policy: We began discussing a policy on the use of generative AI by teachers and students. We're still working on this, and your feedback is welcome!
If you have any feedback or questions about these updates, please don't hesitate to reach out to any board member or myself. We're always happy to hear from you!
