College Council


College Council President:  Neil Christie

The College Council provides the opportunity for people to take part in educational decision making at the school level. Such participation is consistent with the view that it is the members of the College community who can best ensure that the educational experience provided is effective and takes account of the changing needs of the community.  The College Council is made up of parents, students, staff and the Principal.

The Council meets twice a term, on a Thursday, at 6:30 p.m.

If parents would like more details regarding the College Council, the requirements for participation and any procedures they should contact the Principal, Mr Warwick Beynon via the Principal's EA.
