FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRINCIPAL’S DESK

NAMBOUR JUNIOR EISTEDDFOD PERFORMANCES

I would like to congratulate the Individual students, small ensembles and large ensembles and bands from Chancellor State College for their performances in the recent Nambour Eisteddfod. There was an air of excitement amongst the students as they prepared to give of their best on the stage. There is a great deal of evidence that Chancellor State College is becoming well known for their performances at the eisteddfod and I am absolutely confident that in the future there will be many more awards being presented to Chancellor State College students for their musical excellence. I recognize the talents and efforts of Terri Giesen and Clare Deady.

CHANCELLOR COLLEGE MAKES IT INTO THE STATE SHOWCASE FINAL

On 29 October at the Convention Centre in Brisbane Chancellor State College will compete in the state finals for the Showcase for Excellence Awards. The submission that won a regional award has been selected as one of three entries that will compete for the honour of being the State Showcase Award winner in the category of Middle Schooling. This is befitting recognition for all of the teachers and administrators past and present who have contributed to the achievement of students in the Middle School at Chancellor State College.

SCIPP CONFERENCE A HUGE SUCCESS

The International SCIPP conference that was conducted at the Innovations Centre at the University of the Sunshine Coast was a credit to the organisers. I would like to congratulate sincerely Mr David Thompson and Ms Marina Fitzpatrick from our College who had a lead role to play in the organisation of this conference. The objective of the conference was to help teachers to instil excitement into the teaching and learning of Science. Barry Jones O.A. and Dr Karl Kruszelnicki were Keynote speakers and entertained the audience with their intelligence, wisdom and oratory skills.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS IN TOUCH FOOTBALL AND SOCCER (FUTSAL) TO COMMENCE IN 2010

The Triennial School Review revealed the desire on the part of students, parents and teachers to offer Development Programs in Touch Football and Soccer (Futsal) and the Chancellor State College High Performance Plan contains some detail relating to these programs. More detail regarding these programs will be released in September.

DESIGN OF THE CHANCELLOR STATE COLLEGE AWARD CEREMONY

The Executive team and other Administrators in the College are formatting the awards and performances that will combine to ensure that the Chancellor State College Award Ceremony on 11 November at the Kings Champion Centre is a befitting occasion to celebrate the achievements of our students and teachers. More detail regarding this event will be released prior to the September vacation.

COLLEGE POLICY IN RELATION TO IPODS AND OTHER PERSONAL ICT EQUIPMENT

It is the policy of this College that IPODS should not be brought to College. If students breach this policy and bring their IPOD to College then it is imperative that students be aware that the College will take absolutely no responsibility for the safety of this equipment. This same Policy applies to other privately owned equipment that students bring to this College.

COLLEGE POLICY IN RELATION TO FACIAL JEWELLERY

I remind students and parents that the College has a strict policy in relation to facial jewellery. Two small studs are permitted in each ear for both boys and girls. No other facial jewellery is to be worn at any time. If students breach this policy and wear other jewellery to College they will be instructed to remove it. Plastic studs are not permitted in lieu of metal studs. I ask that parents and students do not place themselves and members of the College Administration in a position where there is disagreement about this issue.

BOARD OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTS HIGH PERFORMANCE PLAN

The Board of Senior Management at Chancellor State College has commenced work on ensuring that the one hundred and two objectives contained in the High Performance Plan are achieved. A review of the Terms of Reference for the Curriculum Council has been completed and new Terms of Reference have been implemented. The Terms of Reference for other decision-making bodies in the College are being reviewed also to ensure that important decisions are made in an effective, transparent and timely manner.

The support of the parents of this College is always appreciated.
