Governing council

The role of the governing council is to:

  • involve the local community in our school and preschool
  • develop and approve local policies
  • set the broad direction and vision of the school and preschool
  • monitor and review the site improvement plan.

Our governing council consists of sixteen members elected to two-year terms plus the school Principal in an ex-officio role.

Council members are elected, and the executive committee formed, at the start of each year during the council’s AGM. Nomination forms are published in the school newsletter, and electronic nomination forms are published on the school Facebook group.
