School Council
SCHOOL COUNCIL ELECTIONS 2025 – PARENTS IN PARTNERSHIP
All schools are required to conduct annual elections for School Council during the February/March period.
There are three different categories of members on School Council – Parents, School Employees and a Community Member.
At our 2025 election, we have 3 parent vacancies. The term of office for these vacancies is two years. We also have another vacancy that is tagged Community Member. This person is not required to be a parent and is invited by the existing School Council members to be on school councils. School Councillors provide important viewpoints and have valuable skills that can help shape the direction of the school. Parents who become active on a school council find their involvement satisfying and may also find that their children feel a greater sense of belonging. You do not need any special experience to be on School Council. What you do need is an interest in your child’s school and the desire to work in partnership with others to help shape the school’s future and a commitment to fulfilling the expectations of the role.
School Council meets about two times each term i.e. 8 times over the course of the year. School Councillors are also required to be on a subcommittee of School Council – Finance, Buildings and Grounds or Community Links.
Can I encourage parents who would like to be part of School Council to ensure that they are nominated. Parents may be nominated by another parent, or they can nominate themselves. Nominations open Thursday 13 February and close on Thursday 20 February. Nomination Forms will be available at the Office.
