School  Advisory Council

Purpose of the School Advisory Council 
Purpose of the School Advisory Council
● The work of the School Advisory Council is a work of the Gospel. It is a work of service – a ministry of the church. School Advisory Councils are not directly concerned with the day to day management.
● It is a representative body, bringing together in a formal way all parties connected with the school.
● The professional area of curriculum development, teaching and day to day management of the school are the responsibility of the Principal.

Expanding on the role, the Advisory Council is asked to:

✔ assist with stewardship of the Catholic vision, ethos and culture of the school
✔ regularly review the school’s vision and mission
✔ offer ongoing advice around the alignment of the school vision with the school’s
plans for improvement and growth
✔ provide strategic advice and support to the principal on matters relating to school
operations and ongoing improvement
✔ participate in the appointment of the principal and staff, as requested
✔ monitor and offer advice in relation to the school’s budget
✔ assist with planning for the present and future operating of the school
✔ participate in regular school advisory council formation activities
✔ fairly represent the views and needs of the school community
✔ be available to listen to and represent the suggestions and concerns of members of
the school community
✔ advocate for those in need
✔ assist with promoting the school and Catholic education generally in the local
community
✔ participate in Catholic Education Week activities
✔ assist the school in securing an ongoing viable level of enrolments
✔ be the voice of the school in the community
✔ have what is best for the students at the heart of all advice it offers
✔ develop, monitor and recommend school policy in line with the school vision
