Minutes:
(i) Minutes of the WASACRE meeting held on 22nd March 2013
The Chairman introduced the minutes of the WASACRE meeting which had been held on 22nd March 2013.
The Systems Leader referred to page 19 about the agreed syllabus and said that a discussion had been made at WASACRE for SACREs to postpone their agreed syllabus conference until the results of the agreed syllabus review were known. On being put to the vote, the suggestion to delay the agreed syllabus conference was carried.
(ii) To agree attendance to the WASACRE conference on 10th October 2013 at Ty Dysgu, Cefn Coed, Nantarw, Cardiff
The Systems Leader explained that he would be attending the conference. He provided details of the items for discussion and said that Leighton Andrews, the Education Minister, had been invited to speak at the conference but following his resignation the new Education Minister, Huw Lewis, had been asked to attend. It was not yet known if he could attend on the original date of 10th October 2013 and therefore the date of the conference could change.
Following a discussion, it was agreed that once the date was confirmed, the Committee Officer would email the members of SACRE to ask for the names of those who would like to attend.
RESOLVED:
(a) That the minutes be received; and
(b) That the Committee Officer email the members of SACRE once the date of the WASACRE conference was confirmed to ask for names of those who would like to attend.
