We passed the audit with a satisfactory mark. We certainly have areas to improve in. Some whole suggestions -return of leave forms, signed and dated on time. -on purchase orders please write in the Cost centre Code that the money will come out of. -do not use a credit card to purchase your goods if you want to claim the items back from the school. -we failed the asset and resource part of the audit. Please ensure you book items out of library and report and missing items as they arise. Most of the problems with this areas are not simply fixed and really have more to do with imputting the data on the system and how we do the stock take rather than teacher error.
 * __The Audit__**

I am happy to share the audit findings I may put it on here when we get an electronic copy. Please see Robin or me for the hardcopy at the moment. Lets aim for good next time!!!!! There is 2 categories above satisfactory-good and outstanding. What happens now? Robin and I will write up an action plan for improvement and this will be monitored by District office and they will sign off these plans after 60 days of it being submitted.

Please acknowlege Robin's outstanding job at getting us to pass. Remember this is her first registrar job and there is so much that she is expected to know.

I would like to remind you all of the importance of being organised and having a neat and orderly classroom environment. I have been in many classes this term and seen papers scattered around, books on desks, shelves with things thrown on them, food in fridges and left in the classroom, mouldy drink bottles, scribble on art trays, trays full, cupboards not organised, pencils not in containers and scattered around, displays falling down, puzzles not on shelves but on floors, teachers desks very messy. I want these all these things addressed. School may be the only place some of these children will engage in organised systems. I will be talking to individual staff members if I continue to see these things. This is an easy thing we can all do. You are part of a team. A good strategy is for adults not to leave the classroom/school until classroom is clean and organised.

The school car is not being upkept to the highest standard it should. If you take the car out you need to clean it inside and out. It needs to be washed and cleaned throughly. __**//I do not want students to eat food or drink in the car//**__. The seat covers are already stained. Please treat this car like you would yours if it was brand new. The car needs to be refuelled either on the day you get back or the next day.

** UPDATE! - The router was replaced 4.30pm Thursday 6th November ahead of schedule - There will be no outage on Friday. ** At present the KDEO is looking at schools in the Kimberley having 4 days of School Development at the beginning of the school year. There will be an induction for graduates in Broome for 2 of those days. This means we would have more time to prepare and look at data and how to set targets for improvements. School for students would begin Wednesday of term 1 2009.
