Echuca East Primary School

SCHOOL COUNCIL

Call for nominations

We are now calling for nominations for parents to join our school council. Our school council meets once per month, remotely using Webex.  

 

Parents on school councils provide important viewpoints and have valuable skills and a range of experiences and knowledge that can help inform and shape the direction of the school.

 

Those parents who become active on a school council find their involvement satisfying and may also find that their children feel a greater sense of belonging.
