From the Council Chair

What is the School Council?

The PWS School Council is the governing body of the school, defined in section 150 of the School Education Act 1999.  The Council is responsible for:

• maintaining a satisfactory standard of education,
• is accountable for the strategic direction of the school,
• the quality of educational programs provided,
• the safety and welfare of students,
• financial management , and
• legal compliance.

Each member of the governing body is a fit and proper person to operate a school.  We are all volunteers.

Your Invitation to Nominate for the School Council

Continuing to have a diverse and motivated council membership is essential to provide healthy governance of and direction to the school.  The time commitment is for eight two-hour meetings per year, plus specific sub-committee tasks as required.  Any parent can nominate for the council.  The Council roles are:

Every year some Councillors complete their service due to various reasons, and fresh nominations are needed.  With our upcoming Annual General Meeting on June 24, please consider nominating to provide your valuable contribution to the school.  The how-to details are given below.
