What We Do

Glen Eira College is very proud of our school Council and the work it does. Our school council members are always happy to talk with current and prospective parents.

A school council:

• Is a legally formed body that is given powers to set the key directions of a school
• Is the major governing body of the school
• Plays an important role in school accountability and improvement processes
• Endorses the key school planning, evaluation and reporting documents

Its functions include:

• Establishing the broad direction and vision of the school within the school’s community
• Participating in the development and monitoring of the school strategic plan
• Developing, reviewing and updating school policies
• Developing, reviewing and monitoring the Student Engagement Policy and the School Dress Code
• Raising funds for school-related purposes
• Approving the annual budget and monitor expenditure
• Maintaining the school’s grounds and facilities
• Entering into contracts (e.g. cleaning, construction work)
• Reporting annually to the school community and to DE&T
• Generally stimulating interest in the school in the wider community
