We need an authentic Marymount voice on the taskforce. A(nother) new principal cannot adequately represent the voices of the staff. Too much has already happened without adequate consultation and communication with Marymount staff.

When will we know which campus we are sent to?

When can we preference which campus/subject areas?

When does the transfer actually occur? Term 2 2017?

Who approves leave (eg LSL) requests for Terms 2, 3, 4 that have gone through Marymount but not CESA?

Are the Marist brothers on the same EA as us?

Will our POR for terms 2-4 2017 be honoured?

Who is paying the staff who will remain on the Colton avenue site? What happens to those staff when there are no students on site in 2019?

What then happens to those of us on maternity and child rearing leave who are entitled to full time permanency but aren't/won't be working at that capacity for a number of years? Will the current arrangement be honoured by the new employer?

When we will see the new employment contracts so we have adequate time to read them and question any conditions? Is there a summary of the implications of signing a new contract?

How can Marists/CESA guarantee there will be no job losses when enrolment numbers are unknown, and what protection do staff have if the Marists later turn around and say there are no jobs for us (or not at the time allocation we currently have)?

In term 2 will our structures (eg POR) remain in place until the end of 2018 so it's business as normal for Marymount?

Will the charisms continue until the end of 2018?

Considerations

Staff need to be actively consulted in any building plans for new learning space.

Staff need to be provided the opportunity to preference subject areas & campuses

Staff need to be actively consulted in how we will be housed in any new campus e.g. Staff study, staff space, baby wall etc
