College Council

This College community is made up of families and school staff and it is supported by the Parish and the wider community.

Together, those stakeholders constitute the ‘educating community’ of the Catholic school. Each member brings particular and special knowledge, skills and capacities which play an important role in enriching the Catholic school community. Parents have a particularly important role as the first and primary educators of their children.

The College Council provides the opportunity for members of the College and broader Diocesan community to support our mission.

Working with the Pastor/Chaplain, Principal and staff, the School Council members support and assist the Principal on matters of policy relating to the holistic education of their children and the direction of the School.
 
The Diocesan School Council Guidelines set out the way in which the College Council is to operate and their responsibilities. These Guidelines are provided to new school councillors at the beginning of their term as a part of their induction and to existing members annually.
