The Role of School Council

In Victoria, School Councils currently have a variety of roles. Wembley Primary School Council's roles include:

• determining the general educational policy of the school
• developing the School Strategic Plan (a document that sets the 4 year direction for schools)
• reporting annually to the School community which, at Wembley, occurs at the Annual School Community meeting
• acting as a conduit regarding whole school issues, policies and practices
• approving and monitoring the school budget
• developing the student code of conduct
• appointing the Principal and
• generally stimulating interest in the school

What the School Council is not responsible for includes:

• the day-to-day operations of the school, (such as staffing arrangements),
• concerns relating to individual students,
• complaints about teachers,
• implementation of policies.

At Wembley Primary School, School Council is supported in its work by various sub-committees:

• Education
• Finance
• Grounds & Maintenance
• Out of Hours Care
• Wembley Parents Community Group
