Hi all,
Your network has been provided access to some free resources for 'National Walk to School Safely day' which is on Friday 7th October. Thought we'd share the link with you...

Upcoming Professional Development Session 20th June!
Hi All
Professional Development Session
Date: Monday 20th June 2011
Time: 4.15 to 6.15pm (Registration from 4pm)
Venue: Community Room, Somerville Rise Primary School, Black Camps Road, Somerville, Melways p148 D1
Subjects: Duty of Care; Occupational Health and Safety; General discussion/networking
I hope you had a good Easter holiday break and are finding the work you want this term. It seems it as a slow start to Term 2 for lots of us, so let's hope it picks up soon!
We at the CRT Network have been trying very hard to organise PD sessions on some of the topics you have requested, with limited success. Certain topics, such as VELS, appear to be difficult to find a presenter for, due to the new National Curriculum that is in the pipeline. We will, however, keep on trying and will of course let you know when more dates are confirmed.
This term, we will be running a PD on Monday 20th June. It will be presented by James Rankin, who is the CRT representative for the AEU (Australian Education Union). He will be presenting on 'Occupational Health and Safety' and 'Duty of Care', which are important topics for teachers to be aware of. He will also be briefly updating us on the AEU's campaign to improve pay and conditions for CRTs; I have included below further information on this campaign. You need to be aware that the AEU are providing this PD free of charge to us, but you will not be under any obligation to join the union (although it will be possible to do so on the night if you would like to).
James' session will start at 4.15pm and run for an hour, plus a general question session afterwards; followed by professional networking between us, finishing by 6.15pm at the latest. There will be an attendance certificate provided by us at the end of the session, which can be used towards your VIT PD required hours.
If you would like to attend this PD session, please reply by Monday 13th June, to this email address. If you are on our mailing list, but no longer wish to receive emails from the Somerville CRT Network, please reply with a request to unsubscribe you.
Best wishes
