Minutes of the School Advisory Council meeting ESK - 13 January 2011
The draft agenda is approved.
Agenda Point 1: Annual School Development Plan
•Mr Pialoglou introduces the attached proposal for the Annual School Development Plan. It is based on document 2000-D-264-en-2 “Quality and Development in the European Schools” (also attached). The proposal is the result of a working group composed of Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary teachers, members of the PA and Directors.
•The plan is to be introduced during the next Administration Board meeting on 27 January 2011 and will come into effect in September 2011.
•Mr Høyem thanks the working group for their input and special thanks go to the Deputy Heads for setting up the framework for the plan.
SAC accepts the first Annual School Development Plan of the European School Karlsruhe, as presented.
Agenda point 2) Web site Mr Roosegaarde informs SAC on the latest developments concerning the web site of the school.
•The new web site is now in Phase 1. The German text, which was reviewed in November, is being translated into English and French. Mr Voorneman has begun putting the French text onto the site. Around 25% of this has been completed. The English text still needs to be completely done. A very tedious task.
•Phase 2 of the development of the web site will incorporate a link called “My ESK”, a platform for the whole school community where information can be exchanged (house for sale, babysitting needed, etc.).
•Mrs Krijnsen points out that a new library system has been installed in both libraries (Primary and Secondary). On the new web site there will be a link to access this new system.
•It is suggested that the Jean Monnet quotation should be visible on the web site and the colours of the icons to be displayed in the European colours.
•Mr Roosegaarde points out that, once the web site is structured, a number of persons will have to be responsible for the various sections of the site in order to continually update and renew them.
•Mr Høyem thanks Mr Roosegaarde, Mr Voorneman and their team for all the work they have put into the web site project.
Agenda point 3) Other business
•Mr Høyem informs SAC that the school momentarily has only 948 pupils. Financially, around 1.000 pupils are necessary. In order to increase the number of pupils, the Direction has decided to be more flexible admitting families as category 3.
•Mrs Brun is here every Monday to work on increasing the number of French pupils in the school. She has created an internet platform where ideas and thoughts on the subject can be exchanged. NATO Heidelberg has contacted the school to announce that 35 French families will be moving into the area and would like to send their children to ESK.
The next SAC meeting will take place sometime before the summer holidays (around June). The date will be announced at a later time.
