School Council

Have you thought about joining School Council? I joined in our first year at ENPS and I love connecting with other parents and teachers to make ENPS a great place for our kids. I’m encouraged to be bold and share my thoughts and ideas, which means I can influence important activities and decisions that are discussed by council. 

We all lead busy lives, but there are many ways you can contribute within the time you have available. As I learnt more about council, I got more involved with school policy and community engagement activities. You will probably find there are activities that align with your skills and hobbies which makes the role very enjoyable!

It might feel daunting joining council, but I found that the training options and support from other members put me at ease. 

So, be brave, and give school council a go! If you’re tempted but have some questions then please don’t hesitate to contact the council via email at essendon.north.ps@education.vic.gov.au.
