Introduction to the School Council
Your School Council is made up of school staff as well as dedicated parents. The members of the council bring a wealth of knowledge and real life experiences. Past council members have included a Professor, Physiologist, Accountant, IT Specialist, Graphic Designer, Retired Paramedic, University Administrators and Lecturers. Our School Principal is an ex-officio member of Council.
The feedback and contribution from all councillors ensure a valued and well thought through decision.
School Council Responsibilities
School Council is responsible for monitoring and making decisions about many aspects of school operations. Councillors are elected for 2 year terms, with 50% membership renewed each year. The Council may also co-opt additional parents or staff onto Council, specifically to address particular needs.
During monthly meetings, Council discuss important areas of improvement that may be required around the school, incoming correspondence, school policy reviews, reports from sub-committees (Buildings and Grounds, Community Connection and Finance), as well as from Junior School Council, Parent Group, Sophie Giles Centre and working parties as may be convened from time to time.
All parents are invited to attend the meetings of Council and to be actively involved in one or more of the sub committees.
