School review letter light on detail says expert

A senior officer of the NSW Department of Education and Training has criticised the letter sent home to parents by Neil Moon informing them of the forthcoming school review. The expert claims that the letter doesn't specify what type of review is being conducted nor the terms of reference.

The expert, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of reprisals said "Neil Moon needs to be frank and open with parents and tell them exactly what the review is. You can't say there is going to be a review, it will be transparent and not give the detail."

The expert told Carenne Gate reporters that the NSW Department of Education and Training has three types of reviews under its School Development Policy.

"The SDP allows for Education Support Teams, School Program Reviews and Management Reviews. ESTs are usually used to develop programs, SPRs to repair existing programs and management reviews are used where the management of the school is malignant,"

"Carenne is facing a Management Review," he said.

According to the department's policy, management reviews are used where "there is substantial evidence of significant dysfunction in the operation of the school as identified by the school education director."

This indicates that the department is well-aware of the poor management of the school by executive staff and the plethora of issues at the school.

The expert then said that the terms of reference of the review should be communicated to the school community.

"Why hasn't Neil Moon told parents what the terms of reference are, it is a transparent review, they should know what is being looked at."

He claimed that reviews do not guarantee confidentiality but anonymity, of which there is a significant difference. He went on to say:
"Neil Moon has made a right proper mess of the communication surrounding this review and parents have every right to be concerned, it shows the issues with the management team at Carenne."

Parents should be concerned about the lack of information Mr Transparency (Neil Moon) is giving about this school review. Parents should be concerned about the inaction of Verity Firth and Gerard Martin on the issues at Carenne, when even the school education director believes there is 'significant dysfunction in the operation of the school'.

What angers me about this review is that Christine Porter is telling people what she is going to suggest/say/do. She is not a Carenne Public School employee but her views will be held in higher regard than the rest of us.

I appreciate the work she does but I don't appreciate the special treatment she is given. She is treated like a department employee but has none of the responsibility.

Libertarian said...

Mr Martin, how do you feel knowing that even the department thinks there is substantial evidence of significant dysfunction in the operation of the school as identified by the school education director.

I'm sure this will be great in March 2011 at the election - Gerard Martin claims there are no problems at Carenne and supports corruption.

Christine Porter doesn't bow to you simonne you are jealous of her.You should have know say how the school run but you do.Your only the office worker.

Just because she is protecting you. She needs to stop acting like she is a school employee and realise that she is not.

People need to remind Mr Harvey's boss, education minister Verity Firth that Mr Harvey is responsible for Carenne Special School and the published concerns which first surfaced on Sydney Indymedia.

Simone did no such thing. The principal always signed the bus and escort forms so it must have been Lyn who did this, just like signing cheques for an account that didn't exist.

Can a transcript be posted of the review? As the copy cant be read even if lifted and enlarged as the pixilation is just too low!

carennetruth said...

It is the new staff which have come to Carenne that have dragged the school down. The school has been ruined by its growth and the appointment of snitches.

I just want for Carenne to return to the beautiful house of learning it once was. Is that too much to ask

carennetruth said...

Neil Moon is doing everything right with this review and it is not a management review as Carenne does not have problems apart from snitches.

Anonymous said...

The arrival of employees who would not accept the KLAN mismanagement style is what began the exposure of abuse. To get a return to "your" beautiful school Carennetruth all you, KLAN members and hangers on should do the right thing and try and find some work where the special skills in evidence are much more suited. Special needs children dont need people working there who think it is OK for teachers to alledgly have sex with students. Informed parents and teachers and people in the Bathurst community with perhaps the exception of Gerard Martin and some others, know just how wrong it is no matter the age of the student. When it happens it is an abuse of the teacher student relationship prima facie the teacher is abuseing their position, a breach of trust when considering the parents right to expect their children to be safe on so many levels.

It looks like Neil Moon is not telling the truth about this review. He is saying in the newsletter that it is a 'routine cyclical review of some of the school administrative and management practices and policies', it sounds like this management review. If it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck then it probably is a duck Mr Moon.

He is also saying 'there will be no names placed on the surveys'. He must be reading this site.

Hope he is might learn the truth how corrupt the klan are.

The newsletter made me lose any respect I had for the man. It's all about making out there is nothing wrong at Carenne when in fact there is. BRING IN A STRONG PRINCIPAL NOT A FOLLOWER.

Terry Neal did a better job as principal, at least he told the truth and didn't lie to parents.

Terry Neal was a good principal, I felt as though I could talk to him and he wanted to listen. He was similar to Terry Mahony like that.

Who says who can and cant do RDA, when I spoke to Nola about it last year she told me the school decided who can go.

Michael Auld and Lee Churches has all the say what happens at carenne school that is why only a select few students get therapy and horse riding ,The klans supporters kids.

There have been plans to sack Jenny for sometime, Housler, Knight and Salmon are pushing for it. They say she is a snitch and a trouble-maker. They have been looking for a new driver for sometime and have submitted approval forms for Steve Minshull.

If they sack Jenny, the drivers should go on strike. If the buses can't run with approved drivers then they can't make money.

They want to sack Jenny for daring to make complaints about Carenne Support.

jennys number has been up since she complain about jereme

carennetruth said...

Your expert, no doubt Brian Carter is completely wrong and full of rot as always. The review is not a management review under the School Development Policy it is just a routine review to look at how the management of Carenne can be improved (if at all). The review team is very impressed with what they have seen and heard so far so it looks like this website is going to be shown to be full of rot.

I can't wait to see you charged for slander.
