The Manager’s Message

What does ‘Success’ mean to you? Everyone knows success means accomplishing an aim or purpose. Everyone defines success differently such as a job well done or recognition by others for your efforts. If this was a question asked at a job interview how would you answer? In this newsletter reaching 10 years of service is success. Congratulations to Mark and Rebecca! Happy reading Olivia Sorre

Mark’s role encompasses quite a variety of tasks including the general upkeep of the school lawns, watering systems, assorted types of equipment used by both students and staff, scheduled vehicle maintenance, service & repairs and the setting up for numerous functions held at the school. Mark has a very positive attitude and you will always find him working hard and with a smile on his face. Congratulations again Mark on a job well done!

Disability Standards In this edition of the MJP Newsletter we take a closer look at Standard Three of the National Standards for Disability Services. Standard 3: The intent of this standard is to promote the connection of people with a disability with their families, friends and chosen communities. It also requires that services work together with individuals to enable their genuine participation and inclusion. This standard recognizes the role that services can play in enabling the contribution and inclusion of people with a disability and their valued participation in the community including work and learning.

In meeting this standard, services will actively support and encourage individuals to connect with family and friends & to feel included in their chosen communities. This should be based on an individual’s interests, identity, heritage and aspirations.

Importantly, the focus on “valued role” needs to be one of the individual’s choosing.
