All government schools in Victoria have a School Council. They are legally formed bodies that are given powers to set the key directions of a school within the centrally provided guidelines. In doing this, a School Council is able to directly influence the quality of education that the school provides for its students.
There are three possible categories of membership: A mandated elected Parent category; a mandated elected DET employee category and an optional Community member category. The term of office for all members is two years. Half of the members must retire each year, creating vacancies for the annual School Council elections.

Our School Council members provide important viewpoints and have valuable skills that can help shape the direction of our school. Both parents and staff who become active members of School Council find their involvement satisfying, and parents may also find that their children feel a greater sense of belonging.
