We encourage community members to nominate for the School Advisory Council so they can bring their experience as parents and community members to the school.
As we have a significant number of Aboriginal children attending Holy Rosary, we especially encourage Aboriginal parents to nominate for the council.
The council meets once a month during school term at a time agreed on by council members. These meetings are around 1 hour in length.
The School Advisory Council :
- assists the school to comply with Department of Education and Catholic Education requirements;
- contributes to the school strategic plan;
- endorses and reviews the annual budget;
- creates interest in the school within and across the community
- liaises with other committees within the school
- sits on interview panels for staff
- holds one AGM each year to report to the school community
The school council does not run day to day operations of the school, discuss individual issues relating to teachers, staff or parents, represent special interest groups or intervene in the educational instruction of students.
