Engaging with our community
Our School Council provides an important conduit for the school to engage meaningfully with our community, parents, staff and students. Our principal and our staff are responsible for the programs and day to day operations of Spensley Street Primary School.
The council supports policy development, supports the maintenance of our facilities and grounds, oversees financial operations outside of school staffing, encourages community participation, and manages our Canteen and Out of School Hours Care service.
School Council is structured to represent the joint interests and responsibilities of teachers and parents in the education of our children. Our council comprises 14 members: 9 parent members and five Department of Education and Training (DET) members, including our principal, who serves as the executive officer representing DET. Councillors serve a two-year term, with half the council standing for election each year. Elections are held before March 31 each year.
