Scope
King Edward VII College convenes a range of meetings including regular staff meetings, meetings to discuss specific projects or issues, management meetings and client meetings. Such meetings are considered to be formal meetings.

Meeting agenda
The purpose of an agenda for a formal meeting is to inform the staff of when and where the meeting will be, as well as what will be discussed and done at the meeting.
The person organising the meeting must develop the agenda.
The King Edward VII College Meeting Agenda Template must be used ensuring that:
· Each agenda item is numbered
· Each agenda item is allocated an amount of time e.g. 9.00 am – 9.15 am and that this is enough time for the item to be discussed.
· There is a short summary of what will be discussed under each agenda item.
Agendas must be sent by email to each meeting participant at least three working days prior to the meeting.
Notice of meeting
The following procedures should be followed for formal meetings only.
A notice of meeting must be sent to all staff at least ten working days prior to the meeting, except in the case of emergency meetings. This notice must be sent by the person organising the meeting.
The notice should be addressed to participating staff members and must be sent via email. It must identify:
· The type of meeting (for example, face to face or teleconference)
· The purpose of the meeting and any additional requirements
· The place, date and time of the meeting.
· Advice that the agenda will be forwarded within three working days of the meeting.
Where a staff member is required to attend a meeting, but is interstate visiting clients, teleconference arrangements should be made for that staff member in order that they can attend the meeting. Staff members are to be advised that they will be contacted via Skype, and that they must make themselves available on Skype at the appointed time.
Staff members who are unable to attend are expected to respond via email advising that they are unable to attend.
The notice of the meeting should also be used to remind staff of the King Edward VII College meeting code of conduct as follows:
· Everyone is expected to be on time for the meeting.
· Meetings must be entered into all staff calendars to ensure that they are not forgotten.
· Mobile phones must be turned off in meetings.
· Lap tops may only be used during the meeting to make notes or to refer to relevant sources of information.
· Everyone’s point of view must be respected.
The notice does not need to refer to each of the above points, but staff should be reminded to review this code within the Meeting Policy and Procedures.
For informal meetings, a notice of meeting should be sent in the form of an email at least two working days prior to the meeting. The notice should include the date, time and duration of the meeting, as well as a brief summary of the meeting and key items that will be discussed. This replaces the need for a formal agenda.
