Governing Council

草榴社区 Governing Council is comprised of elected parents, student representatives, the Principal and staff members elected by the staff.

The Governing Council ensures that the views of all sections of the parent community are taken into account when setting directions for the school. Sub-committees have been established to focus on specific areas of the Governing Council鈥檚 work. Parents do not have to be a member of the Governing Council to volunteer to be on a sub-committee.

These are:

  • Assets (grounds and facilities)
  • Canteen
  • Finance
  • Fundraising
  • Uniform
  • Wine Centre

  • The Governing Council is committed to engaging with the broader parent community to share information, encourage discussion and collect feedback.

    The Governing Council is a signatory on the schools Learning Plan, sets the schools fees (material and services charges) and approves the school budget. The Council also overseas the management of the canteen and the school clothing shop.

    Parents are elected to the Governing Council at a general meeting held in February of each year. Governing Council meets twice a term on a Monday starting at 7.00pm. Dates for the meetings are provided in the school newsletter or you can contact the front office for details of the next meeting.

    The Governing Council at 草榴社区 serves as a crucial link between the school and its community, ensuring that the voices and needs of students, parents, and local residents are represented. Its primary purpose is to collaborate with the school leadership to set strategic directions, establish priorities, and contribute to policy-making that enhances the educational environment.
