ParentNet enews PRINCIPAL S WORDS

Term 1 Week 2 31st January 2018 ParentNet enews PRINCIPAL S WORDS Week 3 will be upon us and I want to extend an invitation to the Parents in the community to meet the Teachers on Tuesday afternoon from 5pm. This is an informal opportunity to meet new and existing staff of our school. There will be a BBQ in the Hall with the event followed by the P&C AGM. The Meet and Greet is a great chance for families to meet staff before the school year is fully underway. Getting positive relationships between families and staff will go a long way to ensure success at school. I strongly encourage you to attend this event if you are able to. The P&C AGM has been placed on this day to allow Parents an opportunity to get involved with a great community. The P&C are always looking at ways to improve the school and the positive relationship between the school and the P&C is certainly important for the school to continue to show great outcomes. If you are unable to attend the meet and greet or the P&C meeting, please contact the school if you would like to be involved. We encourage you to know what is happening in the school and to participate where possible. Scott Whybird Principal WELL DONE YEAR 7! Year 7s are off to a fantastic start in the Performing Arts.

Compliance requirements for vacancies All vacancies must comply with the following guidelines. MEGT reserves the right to ask Gateway users to re-word their vacancy so that it complies with the following guidelines and maintains the right to remove your vacancy at any time at its discretion. State and Federal legislation Job advertisements must not breach any Australian Federal or State laws or the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) and Workplace Relations Act 1996. Job advertisements must not discriminate or appear to discriminate against a person based on their race, colour, sex, sexual preference, age, physical or mental disability, marital status, family or carer s responsibility, pregnancy, religion, political opinion, national extraction or social origin. Sex Discrimination Act 1984 The Federal Sex Discrimination Act applies throughout Australia and contains some provisions that are different to state and territory sex discrimination laws. People and organisations exempt under state and territory laws (such as small businesses) are not necessarily exempt under the Federal Sex Discrimination Act. It is not enough to simply comply with state or territory anti-discrimination laws. You must also meet your obligations under the Federal Sex Discrimination Act. Section 86 of the Federal Sex Discrimination Act makes it unlawful to publish or display an advertisement that indicates, or could reasonably be understood to indicate, an intention to discriminate on the ground/s of: sex, marital status, pregnancy and/or potential pregnancy. This requirement extends to persons or corporations who don t actually publish or display the advertisement or notice, but cause or permit it to be published. The Federal Sex Discrimination Act prohibits direct and indirect discrimination. Direct discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favourably on the basis of their sex, marital status, pregnancy or potential pregnancy. Indirect discrimination concerns policies and practices which appear to be neutral but have the effect of disadvantaging persons of one sex, or of a particular marital status, or pregnant/potentially pregnant women. Sexual harassment is also unlawful. Tips for Job advertisements Avoid gender specific job titles such as girl friday or salesman opting for gender neutral language such as secretary or salesperson. Advertisements should not favour or make assumptions about a particular marital status; for example, asking for a single, fun-loving person who is free to work nights directly discriminates on the basis of marital status. Avoid upper age limits for example, trainee clerk required maximum 28 years as this may indirectly discriminate against female applicants who temporarily left the workforce due to pregnancy and subsequent child rearing. This example may also constitute age discrimination. Note: A recruitment advertisement made in compliance with the Federal Sex Discrimination Act ensures a wide merit-based pool of job applicants, it will help you attract the best, most qualified people. Exemptions There are a number of exemptions in the Federal Sex Discrimination Act in Sections 13, 14 and 30 to 43. These exemptions relate to employment by religious institutions or voluntary bodies, or relate to requirements where gender is a genuine occupational qualification. An exemption also exists for the selection of a person to work in domestic duties at the residence of an employer. Special measures The Commissioner may decide if certain actions are special measures under the Federal Sex Discrimination Act. For further information on temporary exemptions and special measures, refer to the Guidelines for Please return completed form to todd_martin@megt.com.au

Special Measures under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission 1996) https://www.humanrights.gov.au/temporary-exemptions-under-sex-discriminationact-1984-cth The following guidelines complement the Recruitment & Consulting Services Association Code of Conduct: Job advertisers must take care that they accurately describe what, if any, jobs are available and that all information about a job given before or at an interview with jobseekers is accurate and not misleading. Real jobs Do not advertise jobs unless the job is a genuine one. The advertisement must not be misleading or deceptive. No charge Employers posting vacancies on MEGT s site may not charge applicants for their applications.
