Governing Council
Aldgate Primary School Governing Council is committed to providing a positive, proactive voice on behalf of the school community.
Governing Councils work with site leaders to help set and monitor the direction of the school. The governing council meets twice a term and topics might include:
- the academic achievement of the students,
- the Site Improvement Plan, (that is what the school will be
focussing on improving on the current year) - fundraising
- OSHC
- facilities and policies
Our role is to:
- set the broad direction of the school after considering student,
parent, staff and community input - develop policies which match the school’s vision
- monitor the school budget
Governing Council is comprised of 10 elected members of the school community, plus the principal and a staff representative. Meetings are held twice per term and our AGM is held every February. Elected members serve for two-year terms. All members of the school community are welcome to attend Governing Council meetings, however only elected members have voting rights.
Governing Council has the following sub-committees
- Finance
- Communication (including policies)
- Out of School Hours Care
- Natural Play Spaces
- Fundraising
Again, members of the school community are welcome to attend sub-committee meetings.
