WHAT IS A 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.
