School councils play an important role in all Victorian government schools. The department has developed a range of polices, guidelines and resources to support existing and prospective school councillors to understand their roles, responsibilities, and school council processes. The overarching objective of a school council is to assist in the efficient governance of the school. A well-informed and effective school council strengthens community confidence in the school and helps to build and secure the school’s reputation.
School councils operate under a legislative framework within the Victorian government school system. They play a key role in:
- supporting the principal to provide the best possible educational outcomes for students.
- school accountability and improvement processes, and
- the endorsement of key school planning, evaluation, and reporting documents.
