Overview
School Council consists of nine elected parent representatives, four elected Department employee representatives and one co-opted community representative. Council meets at least twice each term, with at least eight meetings held in any year.
The Sub-Committees of School Council are:
Education Committee - Currently meets on the first Monday of the month at 7.00pm in the staffroom.

These subcommittees and working parties assist Council to complete the work that needs to be done. They report regularly at School Council, provide assistance and make recommendations to school council.
