JPC’s School Executive Council has had a busy start establishing both roles and understanding of the purpose of the council in the operations of the school. With representation from parents, teachers, students and the diocese, the council is a well-rounded group with a common goal of supporting Dr Wattam and his team in the development of best practice whole of school initiatives that ensure the best learning environment for our children.

In November, the council will host an Open Community Council Meeting where all members of the JPC community are welcome to attend, submit topics of interest they would like addressed, and participate in subsequent discussions. We understand that every family has a long list of priorities, and adding more to your calendar can create challenges, however, we encourage you to join us for just 30-45 minutes and be part of how the school operates. 

The Open Community Council Meeting will be held in the JPC College theatre on Tuesday 12 November, from 6 pm.  If you have any matters to be raised, please forward these to JPC.Principal@cg.catholic.edu.au for inclusion on the agenda. If you don’t feel comfortable raising the matter yourself, please let us know, and we will ensure your voice is still heard in the meeting. Please note, it is important that items are submitted prior to the meeting so that time can be allocated for discussion, as well as any additional information be gathered to ensure matters raised can be addressed in full. There will not be an opportunity to add additional topics to the agenda on the night.

We strongly encourage every family to find the opportunity to attend the Community Council Meeting and be an active part of the school’s future. An agenda will be available shortly before the meeting but may be subject to change if additional topics are raised for discussion and time is available.

If you have any questions about the role of the School Executive Council, or the Community Meeting, please do not hesitate to reach out and we’d be only too happy to speak with you.

I Look forward to seeing you on 12 November.

Julie Saunderson
JPC Community Council Secretary
