SCHOOL BOARD NOMINATIONS 2020:
Friends and neighbours in the Cecil Andrews community, it’s that time of year again where we have to call for volunteers for the coming year’s School Board. We’re doing things a little differently this year in that we’re going to constitute the Board at the close of 2019, ready to commence at the start of the 2020 College Calendar. The School Board is comprised of members of the faculty, representatives of the broader geographic community and members elected from the Parents of Students at the College. There are four places available for parents and guardians and we would love it if you were part of the journey. The Board meets five times in the year, generally on late Tuesday afternoons, and is responsible for setting and overseeing the strategic direction of the College. There are no particular skills required, other than a love for the College and a desire to see it flourish. Training will be offered early next year for successful candidates, most of which can be done in the comfort of your own home. The nomination period closes on the 28th October 2019 and, should there be more nominations than places on offer, an election will be held shortly thereafter. If you are interested in participating in this important part of the College’s governance, please forward your name, address, contact details (email and phone) and a brief biography of no more than 200 words to: deborah.foster2@education.wa.edu.au. I have chaired the Board for the last four years and will be handing over the reins to another for next year. It has been my pleasure to serve the community in this endeavour and, should you have any questions about serving on the Board, you are more than welcome to contact me on 0432 382 863. Kind regards Colin Campbell JP College Board Chair.

VET delivered to Secondary Students applications are now open!
VET delivered to Secondary Students applications are now open!
Year 10’s who have attended course counselling and have recently expressed interest in applying for a TAFE course external from the College one or two days a week next year, will need to visit Mr Dimech in the VET office in H block to book an appointment to go through the application process. Students will need to visit before school, recess or lunch and after school. Students are not to visit the VET office during class time.
Year 11 students, who have not completed a TAFE course in year 11, are also invited to express their interest in completing a VET delivered to Secondary Students program in 2020. These students will also need to make an appointment if they wish to apply.
This is a great opportunity for students to leave school with 2 or 3 qualifications and be even more employable or able to access higher training/education. Parents are also reminded that consent will be required before submitting any TAFE applications to ensure permission is provided.
Applications close at the end of week 5, so be quick!
