Principal's Appraisal

As previously advised to families by email on 14 May (copy below), please note that all parents/carers of students at the College have been sent an email by the Diocese of Lismore Catholic Schools (DLCS) with their individual invitation and link to complete the Principal's appraisal survey. The invitation email from DLCS was sent to parents on 17 May and a further follow up email was sent on 5 June.  If you have not received these emails and/or are having any difficulties completing the survey please email Alys Farley alys.farley@lism.catholic.edu.au by 3pm Tuesday 9 June. 

Dear Parents/carers

During Term 2 on Monday 17 June, the Principal of St Paul's College, Mr David Johns will be involved in a Principal appraisal process as part of his contract of employment. The appraisal process seeks information from a variety of people associated with the school and uses a number of tools to ensure effective consultation. The process aims to highlight the positive aspects of the leadership offered and identify areas for further development.
A timeline is currently being arranged to suit the needs of the school community. The appraisal will be conducted by an External Chair nominated by the Catholic Schools Office.

The full Principal appraisal process involves:

• a survey and self-appraisal statement completed by the Principal
• an interview with the Principal
• input as arranged with the Parish Priest
• surveys of parents, school staff and Catholic Schools Office personnel
• interviews with the College's Leadership Team
• interviews with a random selection of staff who request an interview with the Chair
• interviews with a random selection of parents/carers who request an interview with the Chair.

The preferred method of survey completion is by the online survey form. A link to this form will be forwarded to your email address. Please ensure your current email address is registered at the College as this survey link will be sent to you prior to the appraisal. Parents/carers may express their interest to be interviewed via this electronic form. Not all those who express an interest to be interviewed will be contacted. If not contacted, then parents/carers may wish to email their comments. Anonymous comments and emails will not be considered.

In writing the appraisal report, use of the information gathered will remain confidential and not identify sources. Every family in the school is encouraged to complete a survey.

Your support of the appraisal process is appreciated.

Yours faithfully

Mr Michael Mullaly
Chair
