MECS+Promotional+Material

=** MECS Banners **= Train Karen to take the photos at our schools so we can update the banners and brochures as required without being reliant on DET Media Unit. We use a teacher so we do not have any issues with supervision e.g. Karen can supervise a small group of students taking the photos while the classroom teacher remains with the rest of the class. Purchase the software - ADOBE for MECS that Karen can use to create the banner templates in Adobe. This software will be hosted at Aldavilla as we only have the licence for two machines at this stage. In the future it may be available to more schools with additional licence purchases. By tomorrow Karen will have taken photos for 7 schools Bellimboppinni, Bellbrook, Millbank, Smithtiown and Willawarrin, Kinchela and West Kempsey. She has the banner template as a draft format, containing a variety of photos from the schools. Karen will make 5-6 new banners and send them back to the all of the MECS schools as a draft for them to look at and approve the layout etc. At the same time Karen will get quotes from the "Banner shop" for the printing of them and also ask Jabiru if they can make the banners, in case we can obtain them locally. Karen will provide copies of individual school photos to each school and retain a full set for MECS future promotions. But doing work for individual schools will have to wait at this stage When we get the banners we will recall some of the older ones e.g. the faded one. East Kempsey and South Kempsey are booked in for next week At the next MECS meeting David will confirm what happens next. He will confirm the process of Karen doing MECS work first and make decisions about what happens for individual schools, the next round of schools who need updated photos, etc ( do we have enough money) and next year. There have also been requests for brochures as well and the MECS booklet is on its last legs. Suggestions would be to do a new brochure for MECS not a booklet with a limited print run and update it each year or every second year. How many do we really need? About the same number as the ASR. Then schools could negotiate with Aldavilla PS about employing Karen to do individual school work or
