The secondary position is a substantive one due to Bob Steer's resignation. This position will be advertised this week in school matters and hopefully the process will be finished by week 7. The primary position is owned by Alli. I will advertise this position as a one year contract for 2009 in the next week. Both positions are part of a school based panel which is great for the community and school. i am going to ask Keith Wynne if he will sit on these panels to ensure the community is represented. I will get the other members from Kununurra DHS.
