School Council – Meetings

Public Reporting and Extraordinary meetings

Public Reporting Meeting

A school council must call a public reporting meeting at least once each year, and:

• report the proceedings of the council since the date of the previous public meeting
• present the endorsed Annual Report to the meeting, and
• if the school council accounts have been audited, present a copy of the audited accounts

The public reporting meeting can be held during the year at a time that suits the school community and school council activities and commitments.

Extraordinary meetings

An extraordinary meeting of a school council may be held at a time decided by the council if all members are given reasonable notice of the:

• time
• date
• place, and
• object of the meeting

The council president, or in the president’s absence, the principal must call an extraordinary meeting if either of them receives a written request to do so from at least 3 council members by sending a notice to all school council members giving the members reasonable notice of the:

• time
• date
• place, and
• object of the meeting

The business of the extraordinary meeting must only cover the specific matter for which it is called.
