Woodroffe School council
What School Council's Do

The main job of the School Council is to make sure the school has good governance. Good governance means seeing that everything to do with the running of the school is done properly,according to the right processes and for the right purpose. Governance is not about making day-to-day decisions - that’s called management and is the job of the Principal (who also provides leadership for the school community), the Business Manager and senior staff.

Our School Council is responsible for the overall governance of the school. The Council is a statutory body incorporated under the Education Act and consists of parent members elected by the school community, staff members elected by the school’s staff and appointed members such as a local Member of the Legislative Assembly in an electorate of Palmerston.

The Council meets on the third Tuesday of each month. All members of our school community are welcome to attend and raise matters as required.

Details of meeting times appear in our regular school newsletters and through our School Star App. Please feel welcome to attend Council meetings.

The Annual General Meeting and election of officers is held in February / March of each year on a date set by the current Executive, and circulated by newsletter, giving at least 21 days clear notice.

A copy of the Council’s Constitution is available upon request from the school.
