College Council
The February meeting of the Newcomb Secondary College Council took place last Thursday evening. Among the items discussed were the College Strategic Plan, Council Elections and COVID guidelines for schools.
College Council Elections
The process for the election of the new College Council has now commenced. Nominations for the three parent, one student and the two staff representative positions are now open and called for.
Nominations will close today Tuesday 22nd February, 2022 at 4.00pm. The list of candidates, nominators and seconders will be displayed at the Newcomb Secondary College General Office by Thursday 24th February 2022.
If an election is necessary, I will distribute the appropriate documentation to parents and the ballots will close on Tuesday 8th March, 2022 at 4.00pm.
The parents whose time on Council are eligible for nomination, or their time on Council has expired are:
• Kerry O’Hara (eligible for nomination)
• Michael Graham (not eligible for nomination)
• Angela Hancocks (eligible for nomination)
The student whose time on Council has expired is:
• Presley Johannesen (eligible for nomination)
Of course, nominations are able to be received from any parents and students and we would encourage parents and students to consider being part of the College Council.
The Department of Education and Training members whose time on Council are eligible for nomination, or their time has expired are:
• Ryan Owens (eligible for nomination)
• Philip Walker (eligible for nomination)
The Newcomb Secondary College Council can also co-opt four people into the Community Members category of Council with the College Student Leaders traditionally filling some of these positions.
Other information concerning the College Council elections can be found in this newsletter. Nomination forms can be obtained from the General Office, or ring the office and a form can be sent home.
Therefore, the February meeting of the College Council (this week) will be the last of the present Council and the Thursday 17th March meeting will be the first of the new College Council.
We would like to thank our retiring members for their contribution to Council.
