SCHOOL COUNCIL

All government schools in Victoria have a school council. The school council is the group of people who govern the school. It is given the power to set the key directions for the school, and is a legal entity in its own right. A school council directly influences the quality of education that a school provides to its students.

School councils play a vital role in the educational opportunity and outcomes of all students at the school. In essence, the role of school council is one of setting the long term future for the school and maintaining oversight (not management) of the school's operation. It is not about running the school – that is the job of the principal.

Three of the critical roles of school councils are; developing the strategic plan, approving the annual budget, and setting and reviewing policies. Other roles include:

* school maintenance
* sub-contracting
* fundraising
* developing, reviewing and monitoring the Student Code of Conduct and the School Dress Code
* school community engagement.
