The council or board of a public school works with the school community to achieve the best possible outcomes for students.
It plays an important role in contributing to good school governance so that school resources are used efficiently, and community expectations and the school’s priorities reflect the needs of students.
The functions of councils and boards are covered by legislation and include both approval and advisory roles. Some of the matters councils and boards may make decisions on include fees and charges, book lists and dress codes. Councils and boards make these decisions with the principal and others who ensure the decisions adhere to legislative and policy requirements. Principals may also seek the advice of councils or boards to inform themselves before making management decisions.
The council or board does not intervene in the control or management of the school. This is the role of the principal.
All meetings are open to be viewed by the public however, this does not include any participation or involvement with the meeting.
