In 2000 the Eastern Fleurieu School community decided to become a locally managed school in the context of the Department for Education Training and Employment’s (DETE) Partnership 21 project. This project aims to extend the partnerships between the Department, schools and their community through clearly defined roles and accountabilities and shared decision-making. A strong community partnership will fulfil the shared responsibility for the delivery of high quality learning for each student. The Principal and Governing Council share governance of the school. |

Each Campus has a Campus Advisory Committee (CAC) that is comprised of elected parents/care-givers of students from the particular campus. The CAC provides advice to the Heads of Campus about matters relevant to the education and welfare of students at the campus. Heads of Campus provide information about developments in the learning programs, curriculum, student welfare and campus facilities.
Roles of Campus Advisory Committees include: · Fundraising to support grounds and facilities development, especially playground equipment at the R-6 campuses. · Provide advice to Heads of Campus about educational, student welfare issues and the needs of the campus. · Support the development and maintenance of campus grounds. · Reflecting the views of the campus community. CAC meetings are held at least twice a term at each Campus.

At Eastern Fleurieu School we believe that the relationship between the learner and the teacher, and the partnership with parents and caregivers are central to the success of teaching and learning programmes. These relationships need to be protected and actively fostered. Occasionally a problem may occur which needs to be addressed effectively in order for the relationships to be maintained. If a problem arises at school for your child: - - Approach, phone or contact the classroom, home group or subject teacher involved as soon as possible to let them know about the issue. It may be necessary to make a time after school if the issue is involved or complicated. Follow up with the teacher involved is the most effective means of handling difficulties at school.
- Allow the teacher or staff member the time to follow up on the issue.
- If the issue remains unresolved you may make a time with Campus Coordinators at the R-6 campuses or the relevant Year Level manager at the 7-12 campus to further discuss the issue.
- Parents who are still unhappy with the outcomes may make an appointment to discuss the issue with the Principal.

2008 General Information
The cost of providing the best possible educational service to all students of the Eastern Fleurieu School is significant. The Governing Council has identified priority areas for development such as high literacy standards, up to date teaching and learning, and information and communication technology. While these priorities are a focus, maintaining all areas of the curriculum and equipment and services must also be achieved. It is essential that the Materials & Services Charge is paid by all families to ensure that the School has the capacity to address both the priority areas as well as maintenance of programs and services. |  |
