School Council

The School Council has an active, vital and on-going role in the Victorian Education System. Within statewide guidelines, School Councils provide local communities with the forum to determine school policy in a range of educational and resource areas. Our School Council is a particularly committed and hard working group.

The main responsibilities of the School Council are:

Representing the school community in the development of the School Charter
Determining the educational policy, goals and priorities of the school within the framework of the Charter and statewide guidelines
Approving the school budget
Maintaining and improving the school buildings and grounds
Reporting annually to the school community and Department of Education and Early Childhood Development(DEECD)
Making a recommendation to DEECD on the appointment of the school principal
Developing the student dress code
Developing the School Code of Conduct

Our School Council has 10 members:

6 Elected parent representatives
1 DET (Department of Education and Training).
1 Principal

All parents are welcome to assist without actually being on School Council eg: fund raising, gardens, parent helpers.

Council meetings are held twice a term, usually on a Monday 5.30 pm. A School Council report will be included in the newsletter following a meeting informing you of Council’s actions and decisions.

Elections for School Councillors are held in March each year if you would like to get involved.
