Dear Parents and Community members,
School Council
This week, comprehensive training was undertaken by
Council members to further assist members in be;er
understanding their roles and responsibili/es. The Council is the governing body of the school. It determines
educa/onal policies, within Department of Educa/on
and Training guidelines to ensure that the goals and priori/es of the school are achieved. All School Councils
form sub commi;ees, whose primary role is to advise
and support the school council in their role as a governing body. At Caulfield Junior College we have the following sub commi;ees:
School Council Execu/ve
Finance Commi;ee
Policy Development Commi;ee
Buildings and Grounds Commi;ee
Parent Commi;ee
PR and Communica/ons Commi;ee
FSE Commi;ee
In the coming weeks the Convenor of each sub commi;ee will publish the next mee/ng date. If you would
like to have input into these commi;ees please express
your interest through the Office or contact the convenor
directly.

francophones!
