School Advisory Committee

The School Advisory Committee is a forum for parents and teacher representatives to discuss ongoing educational issues and also give the School's Leadership Team their input on school development matters, providing insight and perspective from different members of the school community into our priorities.

Members put themselves forward to be a part of the group and they serve a two year term. The advice and guidance they provide is invaluable for the school and has led to improvements to many developments the school has made, including communication procedures, curriculum enhancements and school uniform discussions.

Throughout our meetings we are guided by our Mission, and Vision and our commitment to work in partnership with one another to realise our core Values.
