The St Anne’s College Advisory Council is a team of representatives from the school parent community, St Mel’s Parish, Catholic Education Sandhurst, and St Anne’s Leadership and Administration faculty, brought together through a vision to support the growth of the school and learning outcomes for all those who attend. We aim to provide a voice for the school community and stakeholders.

Advisory Committee members volunteer their time to meet formally twice each term with the view to discuss the issues that shape the vision and strategic direction of the college, and to support the work of our Principal, Sue Carroll. We also come together outside of these times where the need arises. 

Advisory Committee Members share a motivation to be involved in our beautiful College and to support the growth and development of the facilities. Whilst there is no requirement to have a specific skill set, we each have a passion to ensure the best outcomes for the college students.

Members come from a range of backgrounds in the hopes that we may represent the school community in a fair and balanced manner. When nominations are open for new members, we welcome nominations from all who feel they could contribute in a meaningful way.

Whilst members don’t have to be of the Catholic faith, we are guided by the college’s Catholic principles and expect members to be supportive of the college’s Catholic identity.

We are an advisory group for the Principal and we are in no way there to make operational changes to the school. Our consultation is sought in the view to provide support and advice in areas of strategic planning and school improvement.

Advisory Council members are elected for a three year term and governed by our Terms of Reference. A member of the parent community resides in both the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson role.
