Our School Council oversees the school’s governance as directed by the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 and regulations set by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD).
The School Council consists of elected parents, community members, staff members, and the Principal. Meetings are held at least eight times a year.
As the official management body, the School Council is responsible for:
Finance – Overseeing the school’s annual budget and ensuring proper financial record-keeping.
Strategic Planning – Contributing to the development and monitoring of the school’s strategic plan.
Policy Development & Review – Creating, reviewing, and updating policies that reflect the school’s values and long-term goals.
Elections are held annually, with approximately half of the Council members retiring each year. Members are typically elected for a two-year term.
To support its work, the School Council operates several sub-committees, including:
Management
Communications
School Grounds & Environment
Parents & Friends
Parents do not need to be a School Council member to join a sub-committee. However, at least one School Council member must be present at all sub-committee meetings.
