Governing Council
The Governing Council is accountable to the school community and to the Minister for Education for representing the views of the community about the priorities and educational needs of its students and children, and for supporting the principal in their role.
The Governing Council of a school is a representative group of at least five members who meet twice a term.
This is an important partnership between Blakeview Primary School’s local community as represented on its Governing Council, and the school Principal who work together to develop the future directions for the school.
Membership includes:
- Parent Members who form the majority of the Governing Council membership.
- Community Members may be appointed (up to three). These may be from business, industry or community groups; they may be people with particular skills relevant to the current goals of the council, or they may be members of local or state government.
- The Principal
- Two staff members are elected to council by a meeting of all site staff.
