School Council

The School Council is the mandated governing body of Wales Street Primary School. All government schools have a school council that is represented by parents, community and Department of Education and Training staff.  Our School Council serves an integral role in school accountability and improvement processes, enhancing the educational opportunities for students and ensuring compliance with relevant legislation and regulations.

School Council functions include:

• Establish the broad direction and vision of the school within the school’s community
• Participate in the development and monitoring of the school  strategic plan
• Develop, review and update school policies
• Raise funds for school-related purposes
• Enter into contracts (e.g. cleaning, construction work)
• Approve the annual budget and monitor expenditure
• Maintain the school’s grounds and facilities
• Report annually to the school community and to DET

Each member of school council plays a leading role in a nominated sub-committee: 

Finance and Governance
Policy and Strategic Planning
Wales Street Social
Facilities and ground Sub-Committee ( incorporating Master Planning)
