There are four categories of membership – The Principal (Executive Officer), DET Employee (staff) members, Parent members and Community members. School counsellors are elected for a two-year term. Members are unpaid volunteers elected by the school community. Participating as a school council member is a rewarding and challenging experience. The School Council supports the principal to provide the best possible educational outcomes for students.
