Dear Parents and Carers,

Welcome to some new representatives on the SRC. Miley, Thomas and Rowan.

   

We are exploring a new way for student voice through the SRC using a parliamentary system. The students individually or in groups, or possibly as a whole class can write a motion that is presented to the SRC for their consideration and discernment. When the SRC make a decision to endorse a motion, they pass the motion on to the Senate (the school staff) for consideration. If your child has an idea that is plausible for action at school you could talk them through the process for making a motion. The motion slips are in each classroom.

On the note of student voice I had the honour and privilege with Mrs Perryman this week to adjudicate our Stage 3 Public Speaking. We were SO impressed with the quality of the speeches that the students have written and presented and congratulate all the students who presented their speech to us.

Congratulations to:

Olivia Stroud and Ava Salway and reserve Brodie Irvin for being our representatives for Year 6 and

Caitlyn Healey and Lincoln Thompson and reserve Ivy Smith for being our Year 5 representatives at the Southern Region Public Speaking finals.

Mrs Ferris and Mrs Lyons-Guthrie adjudicated the Stage 2 public speaking.

Congratulations to:

Eloise Deighton and Lilly Salway and reserve Alice Wiley for being our representatives for Year 4 and

Sophie Stroud and Sofara Jones and reserve Maya Koellner for being our Year 3 representatives at the Southern Region Public Speaking finals.

Blessings on a springtime family weekend.
