School Council is a team of parents and staff members who assist with setting the long-term future of the school and maintaining oversight of the school’s operation. It is responsible for a variety of areas of the school’s operation and is the official conduit between the school and the community. School Council is not responsible for running the school – that is the job of the principal.
The School Council must meet 8 times a year. This usually works out to be two meetings per term. Last year, meetings were held on the third Monday of the month commencing at 6:00pm.
