  1. Australian Curriculum – what is happening re the consultation process with State based Arts associations? At the time of the meeting we are still waiting for information to be disseminated By President Yvonne Wiesse –ACVARA newsletter indicated we are supposed to be having State Arts Associations level discussions and to give feedback during March. Pauline continuing to make contact to determine when this will be.
  1. Other business
  2. Feedback from Management Committee Meeting – by Cheryl & Jane
  3. Journal – request by Dionne to MC members to encourage Primary contributions to the magazine – next issue is on an Indigenous theme. Cheryl to follow up via Dionne and the discussion list.
  4. This led to a discussion re a Primary based Publication – so much out there on interneti.e.Princeton online, Deep Space Sparkle, do we need to do another book? Could we set up a drop box formatting within our own website where we could post our ideas – always the problem then with copyright and permissions for photos of kids work…? Yvonne Wiese as the new Co webmaster may be interested/prepared to look at getting some specialist help to develop the webpage further to enables such options. (NB: Pauline now only doing the Primary connected elements of the website) Idea to be discussed further at coming meetings.
  5. Communication Strategies – Cheryl and or Jane will have a report prepared by Pauline to be tabled and spoken to at each Management Committee Meeting
  6. We want for our Primary members to know that we are out there doing something for them
  7. Keeping current members and spreading the word wider
  8. Get the planned program of events out to them now before the 30 March cut off to encourage m/ship renewals
  9. Supporting our country members
  10. Plan some events for holiday breaks so they can be involved
  11. Plan for weekend PD/Networks if possible – ensure sufficient prior notice so they can organise time to travel, Principal’s permission…
  12. Automatically include them in the network sharing session summaries as they do not have the opportunity to attend mid week sessions in Perth and are too far distant to create their own network group sessions.
  13. Pauline to encourage country members to share via email, contact their other local art teachers, investigate what the new Network Principals are doing to provide specific PD for Specialist Teachers re the roll out of the Australian Curriculum – work as a team!
  14. Close of Business: 11.30am
  15. Next Meeting: date TBC when we know the dates set for future Management Committee Meeting date – i.e. prior to that meeting so that we can generate a report to be tabled (e.g.: Cheryl stated next M/Committee meeting is proposed for Tues afternoon 23 April at which a report from this meeting will be tabled for discussion.)
