Acquaintance Night

This year we will be holding Acquaintance night in Wk. 3 on Tuesday 12th Februaury. Acquaintance Night gives families the opportunity to visit their child's new classroom and hear about routines and approaches from the classroom teacher/s. An email will be sent to all families next week to provide more information about this event and meeting times for different year levels. A BBQ will be also be available on the night.

Annual General Meeting

At 7:15pm, after Acquaintance night, we would like to invite parents to our Governing Council Annual General Meeting which will be held in the school library. At the Annual General Meeting we will share the annual report and elect new council members, who hold office for 2 years.

The governance of Coromandel Valley Primary School is a joint responsibility between the Principal and the Governing Council.

The Governing Council is made up of representatives of all the major stakeholders in the school. It comprises of the Principal, one staff rep and parent representatives. Parent representatives are elected each year at the AGM and hold office for 2 years.

The concept of a Governing Council recognizes that the best educational outcomes are achieved when there is a strong and active partnership between home and school.

Parents are encouraged to stand for Governing Council. Council work allows you to gain an understanding of the workings of the School and to contribute to its long term success. A Governing Council nomination form is available in the forms section of this Newsletter

Council meetings are held twice a term. In addition, Councillors sit on one of Council's sub-committees. The school required sub-committees are:

• Finance
• Sports
• Canteen
• Out Of School Hours Care

Additionally we have elected to have the following sub-committees:

• Grounds
• Parents and Friends
• ICT

We look forward to seeing new and existing parents and caregivers at both of these events.
