Dear Parents and Students,

As part of our continuous school improvement we will be involved in an external school review with a review panel. The purpose of external school reviews is to support schools to raise achievement, sustain high performance and provide quality assurance to build public confidence in government schools.

All government schools will be externally reviewed every four years.

The focus of the review is to evaluate school performance. The review panel consists of a review officer and a trained review principal. The review will occur from Tuesday 28 August to Thursday 30 August 2018

We will find out the aspects of the school’s improvement that have been verified through the review processes as well as the improvements that we need to make in the future.

During the external school review, some students, parents, governing council members and staff will be asked to provide information to the review panel in a number of ways. These include:

• individual interviews
• group discussions (with students or staff or parents)
• visits into classrooms.

Staff and students will also have the opportunity to contribute to the review through a survey. Students can access the survey from https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2W37WDK

We appreciate your support and time in helping us with this external school review process.

Regards,
Stephen Inglis
Principal, Marden Senior College

Councillor Garry Knoblauch, community member on Governing Council and member of the Norwood Payneham & St Peters Council, has advised that Priscilla Corbell from the OAC has put forward the following project on the Fund My Neighbourhood site:

Install an all-inclusive 3 generations play space to foster health and wellbeing of the school community and broader community, to include play equipment, and other elements to attract and entertain all age groups. The new play space will provide an enhancement to the entire community and compliment the adjacent MARS Sport Centre by creating a space that can be used by visitors and the many passers-by. In addition, enhanced safety features will include additional pedestrian and cyclist signage, traffic calming by landscaping and artistic design elements, to possibly include native plantings, mosaics and a statue.

Please consider voting for the project here.

An Invitation to the School Community – A Governing Council meeting will be held on Monday 25th September 2017 at 4.00pm at Marden Senior College.  The Marden Senior College 2018 Materials and Services Charges will be discussed at the meeting, prior to approval being sought.

On the 21 of September 2017, Marden Senior College conducted an event to mark our 25-year anniversary. The day will consisted of an open afternoon, where past and current students and staff, previous Principals and the general public were invited to tour the college and participate in activities. The open afternoon was scheduled from 2-4pm.

The Open Day will showcased Marden Senior College present and past. Visitors were invited to walk around the college, view current lessons and student work on display as well as a showcase of information and artefacts from the past. There was also an opportunity to contribute to a time capsule to be stored for similar celebrations in the future, such as a 50th anniversary in 2042.

The purpose of the Open Day was to bring the Marden community together – past and present staff and students. It also provided an opportunity for surrounding residents to take a ‘look behind the fence’ and for prospective students and their families to see the school in action.
