What is the school council?

School councils are groups that make decisions that set the direction of the school. They:

  • help create and check the school's budget
  • contribute to the school strategic plan
  • make decisions on policies like investments, payments by parents, dress code.

Councils usually have between 6 and 15 members and include:

  • the principal, who is the executive officer
  • parents who are chosen through an election
  • a school or department staff member
  • a student, if the school has year 7 students and above.

Some councils also have community members who are chosen by the council. These members have special knowledge or experience in the local community.

Some school councils have subcommittees. They are groups that help with the council's work and give advice.
