School Council Elections

As an Independent Public School our School Council plays an integral role in the governance of our school. It is important that every parent understands the work the council will undertake in this year as it will have significant impact on the strategic direction of our school.

The School Council is responsible for providing strategic advice to the Executive Principal and overseeing the governance of the school. Training is provided to new members.

School Council members serve a two year tenure and we would like to acknowledge the following members who have recently completed their time on the council:

• Elaine Braniff – Non-teaching Representative
• Tom Pasley – Teaching Representative
• Amanda Sutherland, Philip Follent and Jane Clancy – Parent Representatives

Accordingly, vacancies exist for:

• 1 x Non-teaching Representative
• 1 x Teaching Representative
• 3 x Parent Representatives

This year the School Council will be responsible for providing advice about the implementation of PBC's 2022-2024 Strategic Plan. Members of the council will play an essential role not only in shaping this plan but keeping key members of the school's leadership to account on the key agendas and strategies.

If you are interested in being involved in this work, I encourage you to nominate for the School Council. I also encourage those staff members who are not interested in joining the council to have their say in who represents them by voting in the school council elections.

Details of the nomination and election process are as follows:

• All self-nominations close on 27 March 2023
