From the School Council President

Dear Glen Eira College Community,

As we begin Term 4, I would like to share an update on School Council's current priorities and opportunities for our community to get involved.

School Council brings together parents, students, staff and community representatives to contribute to the College's strategic direction, governance and long-term development.

Current School Council Priorities

Facilities and Sustainability

We are strengthening our Facilities Subcommittee to support planning for the maintenance, safety and future development of our buildings and grounds. Sustainability remains a priority, building on the College's investment in solar energy.

Booran Road – Traffic Safety

School Council continues to advocate for improved traffic and pedestrian safety around the College. Following discussions with Glen Eira City Council and the Department of Transport and Planning, a Safety Around Schools (SAAS) assessment has been proposed to review traffic conditions and identify potential improvements.

Caulfield Commons

The College is exploring opportunities to access Caulfield Commons during school hours to provide additional space for physical education, sport and outdoor activities.

Financial Governance

Council continues to oversee financial planning, including the 2027 budget and parent contributions, while reviewing governance processes to strengthen accountability and community participation.

Get Involved – School Council Subcommittees

We welcome parents and community members interested in contributing to our Finance, Facilities, Sustainability, Uniform and Building Our Community Identity (BOCI) subcommittees.

You don't need to be a School Council member to participate. Your experience, ideas and enthusiasm are valued!

Democracy Sausage BBQ – Volunteers Wanted!

Saturday 28 November 2026 | 8:00 am–12:00 noon

Glen Eira College will be a polling booth for the Victorian State Election, and we're hoping to host a traditional Democracy Sausage BBQ.

The democracy sausage has become an Australian Election Day tradition, bringing communities together while raising funds for local schools and organisations. The term was even named Word of the Year in 2016!

We are seeking a parent or community member to coordinate the BBQ, along with volunteers to assist with cooking, serving and set-up. Even an hour of your time would be appreciated.

Interested in Helping?

Whether you'd like to volunteer at the BBQ or join a School Council subcommittee, please contact:

Thank you to everyone who contributes to making Glen Eira College a welcoming and connected school community.

Fiona Murrie

School Council President
