Staff Social Evening

With so many new staff joining Sale College this year it was a priority to organise an event early in the school year where all staff had a chance to get to know each other in a social setting. The venue chosen was The Lakeside Bowls Club in Sale where staff were able to enjoy some friendly Bowls competition and take the opportunity to relax in good company on a warm summer's evening.

Swimming Carnival Staff

It was great to see the Sale College staff particpating in the Whole College House Swimming Carnival. The teachers were decked out in some great outfits which added a great deal of colour and fun to the day's events. Well done to Teagan for doing such a fantastic job as organiser for the House Swimming Carnival.

Sale College Magazine Folder 2018

To publicise the great things we do at Sale College we need your help. Please ensure you put copies of photos of all College related activities into the 2018 Magazine folder.

The term "Magazine Folder" is a historical term and all photos put into this folder are used for a variety of publicity purposes including the Buzz, the Sale College Website, the Gippsland Times, the End of Year Awards Presentation, various slides shows to promote College Activities as well as the Annual Sale College Magazine.

How to find the 2018 Magazine Folder on the Server

The 2018 Magazine folder is located inside the Staff Shared folder. Look for the title official _college_publicity and when you open this folder you will see a folder called magazine_photos_current_year. Please put copies of all college related images into this folder.

You will see there is a folder set up for each term. If you have more than one photo (very likely), please put them all into a folder before you upload them and give this folder a descriptive name so that its contents can be easily recognised.

How to find Sale College Photos from Previous Years

The publicity folder has several folders in it, one of which is called magazine_photos_previous_year. This contains all 2017 photos. If you are looking for pre 2017 photos they are no longer on the server and have been archived to CD. The CDs may be borrowed from the Sale College Library.

Sale College School Improvement Team (SIT) 2018

In 2017, Sale College embarked on a journey to bring about positive and sustainable change to make the school the best it can be. The premise is to build a dynamic, fully functional system from within. This group has representatives from both campuses, teaching and educational support staff plus the school principal to provide a link with the College Leadership Team.

SIT Team Representatives

Representatives on the SIT are Nicole Sherriff, Sarah Mangan, Beth Lanigan, Teagan Cox, Kara Martin, Megan Welfare, Debbi Daff and Brendan Staple.

Action Teams

Action Teams will be elected early in 2018 to give both staff and students a voice.

Action team 1: Staff Voice. The focus will be on how we, as a community, can support staff to excel. Key areas of consistency, collaboration and wellbeing will be addressed, and there will be an emphasis on professional excellence and what this looks like.
Action Team 2: Student Voice. (One per campus) Focus will be to conduct an in-depth inquiry of students and parents to ascertain the value of education and what we value at Sale College. The students involved will showcase their findings publically and using the media, to staff and parents to build school pride and ownership of their own education.
