Berry Springs School Council

The School Council meets during the third week of every month during the school year. The current School Council meets on Thursday at 6:30pm.

Role

Berry Springs School Council is elected from parents and staff at the Annual General Meeting each year. Community members with special skills may be invited to be members of the Council. Council members work together to promote the educational opportunities for the students at our school. The Council has input into many of the decisions made at the school.

Being on council provides the opportunity to gain a better understanding of school management issues. You are also able to have a say on issues you feel relevant to your own child/children’s education. As members, parents gain experience in meeting procedures and develop confidence in their own self and therefore are better able to contribute to all aspects of community life. Together we all contribute to make Berry Springs Primary School the exciting learning place that it is today.

Other staff and parents are very welcome to attend any of the meetings which are held each month. Non members may join in discussions but do not have voting rights. The School Council has a number of sub committees e.g. Fundraising, Finance and Facilities, Parents as Partners in Education. Parents do not have to be a member of council to assist on these committees.
