This is a highly competitive process with 132 schools vying for a maximum of 50 places. As part of this process we will be distributing a brief survey to our parents and members of the wider community early next week. We ask that you complete the survey and return it promptly so we can compile the information and include it in our submission. Don’t worry if you can’t answer some of the questions; that will inform us of where we are now and highlight what we need to do to improve things for students and parents. Presently a central Perth office determines how Coogee operates – controlling our budget, selecting our teachers and overseeing our educational programs. Old-school governance. Now we want Coogee to be a more vital and vibrant part of the local community. We want parents to have more input. We want to reflect the needs and aspirations of our students and their families. Whilst we will remain part of the public school system the benefits of becoming an IPS can be summarised below. Independent Public Schools: Have greater independence for local decision making which directly reflects the needs of their students and communities Establish more dynamic and open governance relationships with the people in their communities Employ greater flexibility in areas such as staff recruitment, budgeting, procurement, school development days, travel approvals and student support Take part in regular external performance reviews to provide their school communities with independent assessment of the differences they are making over time Have access to targeted leadership development programs to build principal capacity in getting the most impact in classrooms from autonomy Participate in highly specialised board training covering all aspects of effective governance. A school board will be formed to help develop the strategic direction of Coogee with the aim to help deliver the best educational outcomes for your children. It takes a committed and proactive school community to be an Independent Public School. So please help us in our endeavours by completing the survey and returning it promptly. Thank you. 2 C o o gee Pr i mar y S ch o o l SCHOOL NEWS Winter Lightning Carnival Most of our Year 5/6 students will compete in the Winter Lightning Carnival on Thursday 23 rd of June.

LIBRARY NEWS We will again this year be holding “The Great Book Swap” to raise funds for the Indigenous Literacy Foundation. We had a very successful swap last year, raising $320 for this very worthwhile cause. I have already asked students to start bringing in their books that they would like to swap, and our pile is growing, but very slowly. Please encourage your children to bring in a book or two for the swap. We had some very good books to choose from last year, and most of our students were very happy with their choices. The day of the swap with be Tuesday 26th July, at lunch time, and the cost will be a gold coin donation. This is Week 2 of next term.
