Complaints and Feedback policy and procedures.
Mr Gary Racey
In addition to considering increased data collection to guide our decision making processes, the School has been working on developing a clearer system for feedback and complaints; one that is easily accessible, transparent and meets the needs of all community members. This includes a student friendly process. Our new process and documentation will be formally launched in the next 2-3 weeks, with students and parents/carers encouraged to review the information when provided, so you are familiar with the flowcharts and avenues for raising concerns or providing feedback. These will be available on the SEQTA portal and School website, with a hardcopy option for students on Level 1. It is hoped that this system supports our community in providing direction and resolving issues swiftly.
Rotary Club of Heirisson

It was pleasing, present to the Rotary but not surprising, to be given such positive feedback from the camp leaders who Club of Heirisson described our students as some of the most recently, to discuss our inner-city school polite, engaged and motivated groups they have had at the Centre.

Whilst and respect our school holds so dear. developing some potential networks, it was pleasing to see the level of interest in what we are seeking to achieve at St George’s. Rotary, along with their partners, have been engaged in a project since 1979 to seek to end polio throughout the world. I am pleased to say, that as a thank you for my time in presenting, the Rotary Club have donated funds that will provide immunisation to 25 children, which is wonderful.
Holy Week - Easter
Year 12 Perspectives 2018
On Wednesday March 27, I attended the Year 12 Perspectives event at the Perth Concert Hall to support two of our graduates from 2018. Massimo McKie and Dylan Merrick once again represented our school with pride. The Year 11 Drama class, along with Miss Cox, also attended to support and be inspired – further proof that once you are a St Georgian, you will always be a St Georgian. We share in these students success.
Ghandi House Charity Day
It was a pleasure to be part of the Ghandi House Charity Day and the associated Colour Fun Run. The students participated with enthusiasm and their support of such a wonderful cause is appreciated. Whilst the School continually seeks ways to create a culture of service through our actions, such financially driven events have a significant impact as well, so thank you to families who supported in this Year 7 Camp The Year 7 students certainly made the most way. I now have a hyper-colour outfit for any occasion! of their 3 days off-site at the Swan Valley Adventure Centre. I was fortunate to be 1

Student Survey
As we move towards Holy Week and Easter, as a Christian community, we focus on God’s love for us and the powerful message of sacrifice and love shown to us in Our Lord’s Passion and Death. We too are reborn with Christ on Easter morning and take a renewed spirit forward with us each day. I hope families have time to take part in the Easter ceremonies in their local area and enjoy some restful time together, sharing joyful family moments over the Easter break. I look forward to both students and staff returning refreshed after the holiday period and seeking a productive and rewarding Term 2.
As indicated in a separate mailout, the School has introduced an annual Student Survey, in addition to the new Parent Survey. This was released on Monday 25 March via the student school email, with a closing date of Friday 5 April 2019. Thank you to the students who participated in the survey and took the opportunity to have their say. The data collected will help paint a clearer picture on how we are performing Blessings from the students’ perspective, and hopefully provide some ideas as to how we can Gary Racey improve.
