School Council is the legally formed body that is given powers to set the key directions of a school. It is the major governing body of the school that, within DET guidelines, decides the future directions for the school and oversees the school’s operation. At Sandringham East, we have an active and enthusiastic School Council that meets regularly on Tuesday nights. All Councillors sit on sub-committees that consider issues around Education, Policy and Planning, Fundraising, Finance, eLearning, Community Partnerships and Facilities. The Parent & Friends Association (PFA) is also a committee of School Council.
The objectives of the School Council include:
- Assist in the efficient governance of the school
- Ensure students’ best interests are primary
- Enhance the educational opportunities for students
- Ensure compliance with relevant legislation and regulations
