• • Providing a focus and forum for involving the parents and school community
  • Setting the broad direction and vision of the school
  • Being involved in the development, monitoring and review of the strategic plan

Parents are elected for a two-year term to the Council at the Annual General Meeting held in the first term of each year. All members of the school community are eligible to attend the Annual General Meeting and to vote on any matters proposed for resolution.
