School Council

Wangaratta Primary School has an active School Council that meets once a month, between February and December.

School councils play a vital role in the educational opportunity and outcomes of all students at the school. In essence, the role of school council is one of setting the long term future for the school and maintaining oversight (not management) of the school's operation.

Three of the critical roles of school councils are; participating in the development of the strategic plan, approving the annual budget, and developing, reviewing and updating policies.

Other roles include:
school maintenance

• sub-contracting
• fundraising
• developing, reviewing and monitoring the Student Code of Conduct and the School Dress Code
• school community engagement.

In 2017, the School Council consists of:
President - Cameron Gillies
Minute Secretary - Merrilyn Dews (Staff Representative)
