School Info - School Council

Introduction
Each Government school in Victoria is governed by a school council. These are corporate bodies (legal bodies) constituted under the Education Act 1958 - amended to provide for School Councils, 1975.

The Caulfield Junior College council consists of 8 parents, 4 teachers and the Principal who is the senior executive officer of the school. The School Council's role and responsibility is to share in decision making concerns in areas such as curriculum, finance, facilities, buildings and grounds, community relations and the selection and employment of certain non-teaching staff.

Pupil welfare, classroom management, pupil - teacher relationships and curriculum programs are the responsibility of the Principal and staff.

School Council elections are held at the beginning of each year. Members are elected for a two year period.

The School Council meets at least twice per term at 7.00PM - non members are welcome to attend any meeting. Committees of the Council also meet to devise policy for Council approval. These meetings are open to interested members of the school community.
