School Council President
Ivanhoe Primary School
School Council President Report
Ivanhoe Primary School Council met for the first time on Wednesday 25th February. We are privileged to start 2026 with a School Council that truly reflects our broad community.
Our ten parent members have children across the year levels, from our newest Preps to our graduating seniors, providing a fantastic range of insights to help our school thrive.
This year’s office holders are:
President: Jenna Milligan
Vice President: Anthony Sekulov
Treasurer: Naomi Ewington
Secretary: Pam Wright
Our Council is further strengthened by the diverse skills and perspectives of our wider membership:
Parent Members: Meilana Lukman, Justine Convery, Andrew McDonald, Catherine Granger, Jane Dowling, Marta Kondarios, and Phoebe Downing.
School Employee Members: Mark Kent, Liz Kennedy, and Emily Chau.
The Student Voice
One of the highlights of our recent meetings has been the contribution of our Junior School Council. We are excited to continue hearing from our young leaders throughout the year about the various initiatives they are raising. It is fantastic to see "student voice" in action, ensuring that the people who use our school most, the students, have a direct line to the Council.
Get Involved in 2026
While our parent representative positions are filled, there are still plenty of ways for you to contribute to our school’s success. You don’t need to be a Council member to lend your expertise! Our sub-committees are the engine room of our governance, and we are always looking for fresh perspectives.
If you have an interest in any of the following areas, we would love to have you join a sub-committee:
- Education: Shaping our learning policies.
- Facilities and Grounds: Helping maintain and improve our physical environment.
- Finance: Oversight of the school’s budget and resource allocation.
- OSHC: Supporting our Out of School Hours Care program.
