School Council 

Being a member of the School Council at Keilor Primary School is a rewarding way to be directly involved with your child’s school education. Through the School Council, parents and staff from the school community can be involved in the governance of the school, enabling members the opportunity to shape future directions.

School Council members, together with parents and representatives from the wider school community are welcome to be a part of our School Council Sub Committees. These committees look at different areas of our school and provide recommendations to School Council that will help to improve or benefit our children’s’ learning experiences.  At Keilor PS we run the following Sub Committees;

Finance – Responsible for reviewing and monitoring all of the schools finance’s and budgets. This committee meets on a Monday before the school council meeting to review the previous month’s finances.

Buildings & Grounds – This committee monitors the facilities of the school including the buildings, playground and grounds. As well as looking at the short term maintenance of the school the facilities committee helps to draft long term ideas for our school that will help us to achieve learning outcomes and make the school a better place for our children.

Canteen - Canteen related items are discussed such as staffing, menu, upcoming special school events and revenue/expenditure.

Community Engagement– This committee aims to foster a strong community and school connection, and oversees fundraising events.

Policy – This committee reviews whole school policies and ensures they align with DET expectations and processes.

Being a part of the School Council is rewarding and a great way to ensure that our school is the best it can be for our children and I encourage all parents to get involved.
