Welcome Back to Term 3, I hope that everyone got what they needed out of the break and are ready to attack a short term with the usual vitality and enthusiasm.

The new carpet and painting looks great and has given the entrance a real lift.  Thanks again to Cathy for all of her organisation in getting the job done ready to start the new term. 

Congratulations Amy and Tim on their engagement.  Woo Hoo!!

CHILD SAFETY

Following the recent, traumatic revelations in the child care sector it is timely for us to revisit our Code of Conduct in relation to Child Safety. I have added here an excerpt outlining the unacceptable behaviours in the policy.  Please also note that this code of conduct is a part of the Reportable Conduct Scheme. Unacceptable Behaviours

“In instances where a reportable allegation has been made, the matter will be managed in accordance with DOBCEL’s Reportable Conduct Scheme Policy and may be referred to Victoria Police.”

 Understand that it is not my role to ascertain the truth or otherwise of allegations. All allegations get reported to the DOBCEL  Child Safety team.  

STAFFING UPDATE:  We have had a very positive response to the Maintenance Team Advertisements and we will begin interviews for this important position shortly.  

ANNUAL REVIEW MEETINGS

I am looking forward to listening to everyone during the upcoming Annual Review Meetings. Our conversation will follow this process:

What is going well for you?

What are your areas for development?

Is there anything that you would like to share with me?

Then a conversation about roles, goals and time fractions for 2026.
