Marina Haines - what is it like to be part of a new, small school?
Marina Haines, former principal of Montgrove College in Sydney, addressed parents last Sunday about what it will be like to be part of a new, small school.
Town planner
We are considering quotes from town planners, who will assist us in the monumental task of identifying a suitable piece of land, liaising with council representatives and applying for council permits and approvals.
Acquiring a site is a key priority for the steering committee at present, and securing the assistance of a town planner will be an exciting development.
Registration
We recently attended a meeting with Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) to confirm the requirements for registration. The VRQA also invited us to attend a very helpful information session on financial governance skills for schools.
Interested families
We have been delighted to find that interest in this particular model of education is growing month by month. The word is spreading!
