Call for Nominations for Parent and Staff Representatives on School Council
Dear CNPS Parents, Carers and Staff,
Please see the official notification below for the Notice of Election and Call for Nominations for School Council. Please email the nomination forms if you would like to self-nominate or nominate a Parent/Carer or Staff Member.
Vacancies:
This year we have 2 vacancies for Parent Membership and 1 vacancy for Staff Membership.
We also have 2 vacancies for Community Members. The community member category is an optional category for school councils. Community members are co-opted onto council, usually at the first meeting of the newly elected council and cannot be Department Employees. Community members typically bring special skills, interests, or experience to the council such as:
- members from parent clubs
- accountants
- digital technology skills and/or
- project management skills.
Community members generally have the same rights, responsibilities and terms of office as elected members unless otherwise provided in Ministerial Order 1280.
