Leadership+Plans

Hi guys, Below is the copies of our ides from leadership day. Feel free to add anything to the plans :)

Communications
Long term goals: Term 4 Goals: Term 1 Goals: Term 2 and 3 goals still undecided, but we will think of ideas J
 * Introduce the idea of mixed year group homerooms
 * Improve college website by:
 * Regularly updating site
 * Making the website more student friendly, so that we are able to communicate with the Nagle community through the website. For example, notify the students about whether the athletics carnival will be on or not.
 * Start lunch time forums for open ended discussion on a certain topic, with the assistance and supervision of a staff member
 * Involve every year group at various stages throughout the year
 * Have the Nagle Lantern sent to parents electronically
 * Advertise ALL college events in ALL aspects of college life
 * Address the issue of how students come to school without Breakfast…Breakfast Club?
 * Improve Lantern:
 * Lantern will only be given to 1 member of the family (save paper, more efficient)
 * A new layout/structure/design
 * Student voice, e.g. have a section with photographs and the works of the students. (this will require a photographer- possibly a designated photographer in every year group)
 * A section for parents, for students and by students
 * Have College Captain and Portfolio updates
 * To really keep in mind that the Lantern is aimed for more than just the present College community; past students, students to be, and wider community
 * Timeline: launch changes by Term 1 2011
 * SURPRISE FLASH MOB to bring back green team (mid Term 4)
 * Have a Nagle leadership (teachers and student leaders) wiki spaces up and running
 * Promote co-curricular activities like public speaking and debating (in assembly) to increase student involvement in 2011
 * Think of ideas for College Newspaper in Advocate (Begin production ASAP…have Newspaper completed by Term 2)
