Governing Council
Governing councils work with the site leader Principal to help set and monitor the direction of a site.
A governing council meets regularly to talk about the direction for the site. The timing of meetings can be different for each site, but it’s no less than twice a term in week 4 and 8.
Meetings are a big part of being on a governing council, but it’s not only that. In your role on the council, you might:
- need to deal with media in response to an event or a good news story
- be an employing authority of out of school hours care (OSHC) or canteen staff.
In your role on a governing council, you work with the Principal to:
- involve the local community
- develop and approve local policies
- set the broad direction and vision of the site
- monitor and review the site improvement plan
- be the employing authority of some services, including OSHC and canteen.
The Principal works with governing councils to:
- give educational leadership
- carry out the site’s policies
- carry out the site improvement plan.
We meet twice a term & parent representatives are elected at the AGM for a 2 year term.
All meetings begin at 6.30p.m.
