School Government

The instructional program of the school is the responsibility of the Principal and staff, working within the Department of Education & Early Childhood Development (DEECD) guidelines and aimed towards a general education policy formulated in consultation and in co-operation with the School Council. The school’s goals and priorities are set in our four year Strategic Plan which is available to parents on request.

The finances of the school are governed by the School Council in consultation with the Principal.

The Council asks parents to assist the school financially on an annual basis through the payment of a voluntary school levy, which is currently set at $20.00 per annum per child attending the school. These payments are used to enhance school programs across the curriculum.

School Council

Our School Council is currently made up of parents and teachers. Term of office is normally for two years with half the numbers retiring each year. The Council meets on the second Tuesday of each month, or as close to this date as possible.

Our current Council consists of 8 parent members, the Principal as the Executive Officer, a Department of Education & Early Childhood (DEEC) representative, and a seconded member if required. It has formed sub-committees in the areas of:

• Finance

• Buildings and Grounds

• Policy

Absences

All absences from school must be explained. Please assist with this by sending a note to school after or before absences. A supply of absence notes are available from the school.

Parent Club

This group meets regularly throughout the school year. The school relies heavily on parent support and new members are always welcome. The Parent Club assists the school financially by raising funds towards school programs. Your children benefit from such contributions. Each year, the Parent Club also financially supports school camps.
