School Council
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 and action groups:
- Finance
- Education and Policy
- Building and Grounds
- Wembley Parent Group Fundraising and Events
- Out of School Hours Care License Renewal
