Principal's Report
March 2021
School Council
School Councils play a key role in Victorian government schools, and being a member of the school council is a rewarding and challenging experience. Acting as a team, council supports the Principal to provide the best possible educational outcomes for students.
Each councillor brings their own valuable life skills and knowledge to the role. Councillors participate in developing the broad direction and vision for the school, interpreting data or financial statements, and understanding legislative and policy requirements.
I am very pleased to announce that the following parents, student and Department of Education (DET) staff have been successful in their nomination to school council and will be duly appointed.
- Kelly Smeath (Parent)
- Silvia Zuzek (Parent)
- Stella Ramos (DET)
- Mischa McKay (Student)
There are two vacancies remaining for School Council. An extension of time of three school days has been applied for nominations to the positions. The vacancies are:
- Parent vacancy (2 Years)
- Student vacancy (1 Year)
Please see nomination forms attached and return to the College by 4.00pm Wednesday 10th March 2021.
