The School Council at Scaddan Primary School consists of elected parent, community and staff representatives, with parent and community members holding the majority of positions. Council members generously contribute their time, skills, knowledge and perspectives to support the ongoing growth, direction and success of our school.

The School Council plays an important role in supporting strategic decision-making and strengthening partnerships between the school and wider community. Working collaboratively with the Principal, the Council assists in:

• Establishing and reviewing school objectives, priorities and general policy directions
• Supporting the planning of financial arrangements aligned to school priorities
• Reviewing and evaluating school performance and progress
• Contributing to the development and review of student behaviour expectations and codes of conduct
• Promoting the school and fostering positive community engagement

The School Council operates within the guidelines set by the Department of Education and supports the school in an advisory and governance capacity.

The School Council does not:

• Intervene in the educational instruction of students
• Exercise authority over school staff
• Intervene in the day-to-day management or operation of the school or school finances

All members are committed to working respectfully, collaboratively and professionally in the best interests of the students and school community.
