School Council Elections 

The Greater Shepparton Secondary College School Council election process has now commenced.

Greater Shepparton Secondary College School Council is calling for nominations for 3 parent members positions available on our School Council. Parents/carers are encouraged to nominate for a position.

If the numbers of nominations is less than the number of vacancies, a notice to that effect calling for further nominations will be posted in a prominent position at the school and communicated via Compass.

How can I nominate?

You can nominate through completing a nomination form and returning the completing form to the college in person, or alternatively, via email to: Madeline.Holmes@education.vic.gov.au

What do you need to stand for election?

Parent members are required to hold a valid Working with Children Clearance (WWCC) to nominate for a position on School Council. The only exception to this requirement is parents who are also teachers and currently hold VIT registration.

How do I get a Working with Children Clearance, and does it cost money?

You can apply for a Working with Children Clearance through the Services Victoria Website.

School Council Members are volunteers which means that applying for a WWCC is free.

When applying for a WWCC, parents must:

• Nominate the Department of Education as the organisation they are working for when applying for a Working with Children Check
• Provide evidence of their Working with Children Clearance as soon as practicable after receiving it (or via the School Council Nomination Form)
