Every three or four years the school undergoes a Department of Education and Training (DET) School Self Evaluation (SSE). Our School Strategic Plan is developed following our SSE and an Annual Implementation Plan is written to set guidelines for the year’s Curriculum and to direct the work of the Leadership Team, staff and School Council.
Our School Council makes a very significant contribution to the school by managing our Uniform Shop, Outside School Hours Care (OSHC), Canteen and special subcommittees as required e.g. Fete. We meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month during the school year and our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held annually in March (public meeting).
A document outlining the specific roles and responsibilities of School Council is available at the Office.
