School accepted for program

Ettalong Public School principal Mr Colin Wallis attended a workshop on the implementation of the Empowering Local Schools National Partnership on Friday, August 17, along with Ms Helen Denning and Ms Jes Zammit.

The school has been accepted into the program for next year, which would afford the school financial support as well as intensive training in the initiatives being undertaken by the NSW Department of Education and Communities in 2014 and beyond under the Local Schools Local Decisions initiative.

The initiative aims to put decision making for schools at the local level.

"Although the changes within the department are at times challenging, they are also very exciting and ultimately advantageous for our students' learning outcomes," said Mr Wallis.

"It will be a journey for the entire school community," he said.
