EMMAUS CATHOLIC
PRIMARY SCHOOL
“Authoring Our Own Future”
2019 Planning
While we are actively engaged in utilising the remaining weeks of 2018 to consolidate the learning of all
students, at a staff level we area also strongly focused on preparation and planning for the 2019 school year.
Fees and Charges
At an administrative level, budgets are finalised and the fees and charges that are required to operate the
school in 2019 and set. The predicted level of these fees and charges will be shared at the Community
Leadership Meeting to be held this evening. A significant matter to be addressed tonight will be the
introduction of an Information Technology Levy to cover the required, hardware, programs and applications,
infrastructure and technical support that is required to engage students in the best possible use of information
technology for the purpose of attaining high levels of learning. Further detail of the need for this levy will be
presented this evening and then shared with the school community.
Class Structure and Staffing
Below you will see the planned staffing structure for 2019 as it currently stands. Several factors have been
held in mind as we have worked towards finalising this structure. The strength of our teaching teams is our
greatest asset. We have attempted to maintain an effective balance in each of the teams with adequate time
to support targeted workshops with students. With some exits and returns from maternity leave adjustments
will be made to the staffing schedule throughout the year. The needs of the students remain the priority when
any staffing adjustments are made.

Lorraine Davies – Staff and Parents Information Session
Mindset: Students Motivation, Resilience and Learning Success
We were delighted to welcome Lorraine Davies back to Emmaus last week. Lorraine began her
journey with us in 2013.
Lorraine has a deep passion for her work around neuroscience, which is evident in the way she shares
her knowledge and experiences with the groups she works with. Lorraine spoke to us about how we
can best support ourselves and our students to be motivated, resilient and learners!
Lorraine spent the afternoon engaging with our Emmaus staff team. We explored and discussed
autonomy, neuroscience, neuroplasticity and the need for us to consider some questions.
Perhaps these questions may prompt some reflection for you:
How do you model vulnerability?
How do you model authenticity?
How do model working outside your comfort zone?
How do you model empathy?
How do you model fun and laughter?
Later in the evening Lorraine facilitated a session for our parents and it was wonderful to see so many
of you in attendance! Lorraine suggested that we share the 2 slides that you will see below.
Sincere thanks to Jason Fletcher, Adult Education leader from our Community Leadership Team, for
organising Lorraine’s session.
I would also like to thank our wonderful staff team who continue to go above and beyond what is
required of them. To see such a large presence of staff at the Parent Session was testament to the
commitment they continue to show, to both you and your children.
If anyone is interested in some of Lorraine’s material please email at gcann@emtclear.catholic.edu.au
and I will forward the documents on.
