School Council

 

Government schools in Victoria operate within the policies and guidelines set by the Department of Education (DET), while maintaining responsibility for delivering their educational programs.

 

Each school is governed by a School Council, which supports the strategic direction and effective operation of the school. Parent representatives are elected by the school community and typically serve two-year terms, with elections held annually in March. The President is always a parent member.

 

School Council meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday of each month during the school year and are open to all members of the school community.

 

We encourage all families to take an active role in school life, whether by joining the School Council or contributing to one of its sub-committees. Your involvement helps strengthen our community and enrich the experience for all students.

 

 

 


School Council Sub-Committees

 

Sub-committees support the work of the School Council in specific areas of school operations. They provide an opportunity for parents, carers and members of the wider community to contribute to school planning and activities. You do not need to be a member of the School Council to join a sub-committee.
