School Council Elections 2019

Interested in getting involved in School Council?

Nominations are now open for vacant parent spots on the school council. This is a great way to get involved in the wonderful community that we have at MPW.

What is School Council?

With members drawn from both parents and staff, Council has a role in setting and monitoring the school's direction. It does not run the school, that remains the responsibility of the principal.

Council is a significant voice for the community with regards to the type of school we want to be, and as such, benefits from having members drawn from a diverse range of backgrounds and with kids across the year levels.

What am I signing up for?

Terms last for 2 years and there are typically 8 council meetings during the year, held at 7 pm on Monday evenings. Council members also contribute to one or more of the sub-committees of Education, Environment, Community Connections or Resources (Finance).

Councillors are a great conduit to Council of what the community is thinking, so staying in touch with a range of opinions is a good idea.

Sounds great, where do I sign?

Nomination forms are available from the General Office and are due in by 4 pm Thursday 28th February. Get cracking!!
