The School Council meets each term and in comprised of community and staff members. The Councils role is pivotal in supporting school progress and achieving the best outcomes for students.
The functions of the council is covered by legislation and include both approval and advisory roles. Some of the matters councils and boards may make decisions on include:
- fees and charges
- book lists
- sponsorship
- dress codes.
Councils and boards make these decisions with the principal and other relevant decision-makers who ensure the decisions adhere to legislative and policy requirements.
Principals may also seek the advice of councils or boards to inform themselves before making management decisions. Council and board members have the right to understand the principal’s decisions (except where they involve confidential information and decisions about people or families).
The council or board does not intervene in the control or management of the school. This is the role of the principal.
