Join IPS School Council

We still have two vacancies.

There are five parent category vacancies and three Department of Education vacancies to be filled. Nomination forms are available from the office or can be downloaded below. 

There are two types of parent member category nomination forms – Form 3 ‘Self Nomination’ form or Form 4 ‘Nomination form’.  Form 4 is used when a school parent nominates another school parent.

The election timeline is as follows: 

Monday 29th January 2024  Notice of Election and call for nominations. 

Friday 9th February 2024 (4pm) Close of nominations. 

Monday 16th February  Display list of nominees.

There are two council meetings per term (Three in Term 2 for the presentation of the Annual Report). Every council member is asked to serve on one of the sub committees of School Council.

Every council member is required to attend school governance training. (This can be completed online). It's not particularly onerous.
