School Council

Picture
All government schools in Victoria have a school council. The school council is an elected group of parents and teachers who govern the school. It has given the power to set the key directions for the school, and is a legal entity in its own right. A school council directly influences the quality of education that a school provides to its students, makes decisions on educational policy, and oversees the school’s finances and employment of non-teaching staff.

The Overport School Council meets twice per term and comprises 8 parent members, 3 department members and the executive officer, the principal. At the beginning of the year, prior to the Annual General Meeting, which is held in March, elections are held to determine the new councillors for that year. All members of the Overport school community are eligible to nominate.  Once elected, all council members are encouraged to abide by the Overport School Council code of practice and constitution. In this way no one member represents a sectional interest and all decisions made reflect the philosophy of “Success for All” at Overport.

All members of the Overport School Community are welcome to attend the subcommittee meetings of Buildings and Grounds and Education. These subcommittees generally meet in the staffroom on the third Thursday of the month; Education subcommittee at 3.45pm and Buildings & Grounds subcommittee at 6.00pm. Both sub-committees report to school council.
