Minutes of School Meeting Friday 6th June, 2024

CHAIRPEOPLE: Scarlett and Tt

1. Handball court by Hazel.
Hazel asked for an opinion vote about the new paint on the handball court, who likes it and who doesn’t. There was discussion about it being too bright and also slippery. The point was made that children had painted the lines and letters that were there before and nobody knew it was going to be done. It was not brought to School Meeting as a topic to be voted upon by the children who use the court.
After the discussion, the opinion vote was that most people like the basketball court painting but most people do not like the handball court. Classes might discuss what could be done about it.

2. Voting by Wendy.
Wendy spoke about how important it is for every person at School Meeting to always make their own decision about a vote independently of their friends or teachers. Every single person has the right to vote for what they believe is best, even if nobody else agrees.

3. Tea towels by Wendy.
Eden’s mum, Laura, is organising a 2024 tea towel and everyone will be able to draw a picture and write their name to be included in this.

4. Printouts by Oce and Sophie.
Oce asked why her class is only allowed to have one print-out on a Friday and some other classes get more. She is going to ask her teacher about this.

5. Missing money by Amelia.
Money has been going missing from lockers and bags outside Amelia’s room. If you know anything about this or have any suggestions for stopping it from happening please speak to Amelia.

6. Material scissors by Crafty.
Chris asked if anyone knew where the material scissors box was. He said that most of the eraser pens have been wrecked or lost and asked if the elders in the Craft room for sustaining could please make sure the younger children know where to put things.

7. Introduction by Olivia.
Olivia introduced two visitors who were spending the morning seeing how Currambena works. They are going to set up a school in Barbados.

8. Yoga by Vinnie.
A parent, Di, has offered to run a yoga session from 9 am to 9:30 on Thursdays and Vinnie asked who would be interested.

Meeting adjourned. Preschoolers first. Wendy’s group stayed to help tidy up.
