Governing Council

Our Governing Council is made up of members of the school community, representatives of the teachers, and the leadership team.

The 2024 Council compromises of:

The Governing Council and its sub-committees represent the school community, and after consultation make decisions on local issues, strategic planning and the allocation of resources.

All Governing Council members (except for the Principal and Deputy Principal), are elected for a two year period. Nominating members are elected each year by ballot from the school community.  Two staff representatives are also elected each year by peer ballot.

The Governing Council holds a minimum of 2 meetings each school term.

Parents also have an opportunity to become involved in Governing Council sub-committees. There are a range of sub-committees including Finance, Education, Grounds and Facilities, Out of School Hours Care, Canteen, Parents and Friends and After School Sports.

Governing Council endeavours to keep parents informed of their activities through the School Newsletter.
