1 Cheltenham Girls High School P&C Association Minutes of Annual General Meeting held Monday 11 May Welcome The meeting commenced at 7:30pm. 2. Guest Speaker: Daniel Cunningham - Head Teacher, Learning Support Daniel Cunningham attended the meeting to provide parents with a report of the school s performance in the Years 7 & 9 NAPLAN tests and HSC Some of the main points include: Year 7 Outperformed State in all areas. Did not perform as well as previous years in Writing but very strong in Numeracy. As Writing performance appears to be dropping, may need to work closer with Primary Schools in the area to address this issue. Year 9 HSC Outperformed State in all areas. Writing performance has declined, Spelling and Reading have improved, and Numeracy in consistent. The growth potential between Year 7 and Year 9 performance have been exceeded except in Writing an area we need to work on. Deputy Principals, Leigh Crangle and Suellen Lawrence then reported on the school s 2014 HSC results. Some of the highlights include: One All-Rounder award i.e. Band 6 result in at least 10 units 1 st in the State for Music 2 1 st in the State for Music Extension 2 nd, 3 rd & 4 th in the State for Aboriginal Studies 8 th in the State for Chemistry 10 th in the State for Design & Technology 14 th in the State for PDHPE 18 th in the State for Modern History 20 th in the State for Biology The Deputy Principals further explained to the meeting how HSC marks are derived from a combination of school assessment marks, moderated marks and exam marks. The HSC marking process was also explained. Approximately 20% of CGHS teachers are HSC markers. This figure has dropped in recent years as marking is now done online and is therefore less collegiate than previous years when marking took place in marking centres. A full report of the school s 2014 NAPLAN and HSC results can be found in the school s annual report:

3 8. President s Report by Jim Kalotheos Thank you to all SRC students and teachers for organising and participating in the very successful Market Day held during the NSW State Elections in March. The P&C Federation will be holding a Forum on Increasing Parent and Community Engagement on 20 May at Cherrybrook Technology High School. A flyer advertising the forum was passed around the meeting. Hornsby Council has visited the Beecroft Road bus stop and will arrange for trip hazards to be removed but their assessment is that a fence does not need to be erected on the site to prevent students from falling onto the road. As the meeting was not satisfied with this response, they will be inviting a representative from Hornsby Council to address parents at a future P&C meeting. Jim has obtained more information from Mrs Edwards, Head Teacher Student Welfare about the purchase of a defilibrator for the school. The P&C is being asked to fund the purchase of the defilibrator and the school will pay for appropriate staff to be trained to operate the machine. Motion To purchase a defilibrator costing $2,350 for the school. Proposed by: Alison Batley Seconded by: Phil Bush Motion carried 9.
