Our last School Council meeting was held on Monday September 16^th 2019.  

We started the meeting by reflecting on what has worked well since our last meeting, including the whole school excursion to the Melbourne Zoo, the book week performance, the Big Shots tennis day and the special assembly to celebrate the dedicated work of Wendy Oates and Liz Old as they start their next adventures.

We have also hosted some students from La Trobe University who have been keen to learn all about our sustainability program. We also acknowledged that great work that Anne-Marie Middlemast has done with the senior learning community students to produce some very funny podcasts (see https://www.bendigoadvertiser.com.au/story/6386717/castlemaine-students-share-their-take-on-the-world-in-new-podcast-series/).

We have such a vibrant and busy school community with so many different activities that our students have the opportunity to engage with. This is certainly something to celebrate.  

The school review is still ongoing, and Suzanne has been working tirelessly to ensure that deadlines are met and our school is in the best position moving forward.

As we move into the term 3 holidays, we are very much looking forward to a busy term 4.

To begin with, the wellbeing subcommittee will be hosting a breakfast on Friday 11^th October 2019 as part of mental health week. Don’t forget our twilight market on the 6^th December 2019. If you haven’t already, we would love to hear from you if you are able to volunteer some time for this fun event. Please see the office for details.   

Wishing you all a restful break.

The next school council meeting is scheduled for Monday 21st October 2019 at 7pm.
