School Council


School Council meets once a month, usually on the fourth Tuesday night.

 

School Council plays an integral part of the operations of our school. Our School Council is made up of six Parent Representatives, one Community Representative, three Staff Representatives and the Principal as Executive Officer. While School Councils operate on a March-to-March cycle, Councillors are elected for 2 years, with half of the council representative positions open for election on an annual basis. Nominations for 2024/25 School Council will open on Friday 16th February and close on Thursday 29th February. Nomination forms will be available from the office from next Friday. Nominees can self-nominate or be nominated by others. Nomination forms will be available from the office from Friday 16th February. If a ballot is required, it will be conducted in the first week of March. New office bearers will be elected at the first meeting of the newly formed council.
