School Association

SCHOOL ASSOCIATION ELECTION Of COMMITTEE  

The Prospect High School Association Annual General Meeting, followed by a Committee Meeting, will be held on Tuesday, 30th March 2020 in the Eagles Nest Café (rear of the school) from 5.00pm and all are welcome. 
There are three parent vacancies and three staff vacancies. We encourage parents to nominate to be on the Committee. A nomination form is attached to this newsletter. 

The new school year started with a Committee meeting being held on 23rd February.  Several topics were discussed including the ordering of a school cap and bucket hat, feedback on the success of the Welcome BBQ, and reports from the Principal, School Business Manger and Student Leader Board.

The School Association is made up of the parents, staff and community members.  The School Association is an important part of the school, working with the Principal to achieve shared outcomes for learners attending the school and for the benefit of the whole school community.  The purpose of the School Association is to provide members with a way to participate and support the school. The following people are automatically members of the School Association:
- parents (parents or guardians who have children or young people enrolled at the school).  Should you wish to be exempt as member please notify the School Association in writing.
- staff (permanent and fixed-term employees at the school)
- the Principal, who is an automatic member of the School Association.
- community members can apply to be accepted as a member
All members of the School Association can nominate to be involved on the Committee.

Nominations for the School Association Committee are now open.  Please complete the attached nomination form and return no later than 3:00pm on Monday, 29th March.  Nominations can be forwarded to the Returning Officer, Debbie Chancellor, School Business Manager via email to prospect.high@education.tas.gov.au or the school office.

The School Association Constitution provides further information on the election process and the timings of the School Association Year. ** A member of the Committee who is to retire, or who has retired, may nominate for re-election as a member of the Committee. What is the School Association Committee? The School Association Committee is an elected group of School Association members who work together for the benefit of the school. The Committee manages and conducts the affairs of the School Association and performs administrative and decision-making as a group that represents the School Association. Being a Committee Member is a commitment that is highly valued and recognised by the school.  Being on the Committee is a rewarding role, where parents and community members’ skills and knowledge support the school.  This contributes to helping learners succeed. 

Being part of the Committee also provides an opportunity to be actively involved and engaged in the school.  The Committee is also a place of learning, contributing to developing experience and skills for all members. Anyone from the School Association can nominate to be on the Committee.

School Association Annual General Meeting will be held
30th March 2020, 5pm in the school Eagles Nest Café followed by a General Meeting.
