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)
