As a result of Vice President Craig Redfern accepting a DEL’s position we had a vacancy on Executive. You were all asked to vote and Returning Officer Mark Pritchard announced the new Vice President at our AGM. We congratulated Stuart Wylie, Principal of Thornton PS. Stuart had been filling in a temporary vacancy on the Executive.

Deputy President Di Robertson has also stepped down from her position due to personal reasons. The constitution dictates that one of the Vice Presidents is to fill that position. Ian Reeson subsequently was voted as Deputy President. This now has triggered another vacancy for Vice President and Returning Officer Mark Pritchard has called for nominations for an election by the membership. This should be all done & dusted ready for Term 4 State Council.

Craig was unable to attend Annual Conference, but we thanked Di Robertson for incredible efforts as Vice President & Deputy President over the last 3 years. Her advocacy, knowledge and passion has certainly focused attention on the plight of our students and staff in our SSPs and quick gains have been made, but there is much more to do to continue her work.
