Our School Council is made up of parents, teachers, the school principal, staff and community representatives. This collective supports and enhances our students' learning. Our School Council has three main responsibilities:
- finance: overseeing the development of the school's annual budget and ensuring proper records are kept
- strategic planning: participating in the development and monitoring of the school's strategic plan
- policy development and review: developing, reviewing and updating policies that reflect our school's values
Key functions of the school council include:
- raising funds for school related purposes
- maintaining school grounds and facilities
- entering into contracts
- reporting annually to the school community and the Department
- creating interest in the school in the wider community
- representing and taking the views of the community into account
- regulating and facilitating after-hours use of school premises and grounds
Detailed information about the role and functions of School Council can be found in the Standing Orders
