College Council

All government schools in Victoria, apart from the Distance Education Centre Victoria, have a school council. A school council is the group of people who assist in governing a school. It is a legally formed body that is given powers to set the key directions of a school. It is the major governing body of the school and plays an important role in school accountability and improvement processes. A school council also endorses the key school planning, evaluation and reporting documents.

A College Council:

  • Establishes the broad direction and vision of the school within the school’s community
  • Participates in the development and monitoring of the school’s strategic plan
  • Develops, reviews and updates school policies
  • Develops, reviews and monitors the Student Engagement Policy and the School Dress Code
  • Raises funds for school-related purposes
  • Approves the annual budget and monitors expenditure
  • Maintains the school’s grounds and facilities
  • Enters into contracts (e.g. cleaning, construction work)
  • Reports annually to the school community and to the DEECD
  • Generally stimulates interest in the school among the wider community

College Councils also have sub-committees, which meet prior to council meetings. These are:

  • Finance and Resources
  • Uniform (as required)
