The School Council is responsible for assisting the Principal and staff in the organisation and development of the school, in particular it is responsible for offering advice on the school’s educational programs and administration and expenditure of school funds as determined in the annual budget. The overseeing of the long-term development of the school and the current maintenance of facilities is a task that rests primarily with School Council.

The Council of this school comprises 10 members elected by parents of the school and 4 members of staff. The Principal is a member by right of office. Elections for school council are held in February each year.

Council Meetings are held twice per term (advertised in the school newsletter) and all members of the school community are welcome to attend.

Below is the link to the DET webpage with the handbooks that form part of the School Council training package. The Governance handbook provides an overview of the roles and responsibilities of the Council.
