We believe that parents are a vital part of our school community and warmly welcome parents to further participate in the life of our school.

There are many ways parents can play an active role in our school:

GOVERNING COUNCIL
Who is the Governing Council, what do they do and how can I join?
​
The Governing Council is comprised of the Principal, Assistant Principal for the Centre of Deaf Education staff representative and parent representatives who are elected for two year terms. Elections for the Governing Council take place at the Annual General Meeting, which is held early each year.
​
The Governing Council is responsible for overseeing the financial management of the school and for advising (as the representatives of the whole school community) on matters such as facilities, policies and priorities.
Governing Council meetings are held twice a term, usually in Weeks 3 and 8.
Most meetings are open and any parent may attend as an observer/visitor.
The Governing Council is the forum through which all members of our school community can have a say in the direction of the school.
The Governing Council has a number of subcommittees which all deal in more detail with specific areas of school management. All subcommittees report back and make recommendations to the Governing Council.
Involvement is open to all parents and staff. You do not need to be on the Governing Council to be on a subcommittee.
Please contact either Governing Council Chairperson or Principal for information.
