The Coburg West Primary School Council is a group of eight parents, four Department of Education employees (including the Principal) and two co-opted members, who represent the Coburg West Primary School Community Group and Out of School Hours Care subcommittees.

The Council is responsible for:

• Developing, reviewing and updating policies that reflect the school’s values and support the school’s broad direction outlined in its strategic plan.
• Raising funds for school-related purposes.
• Maintaining school grounds and facilities.
• Entering into contracts.
• Reporting annually to the school community and the Department.
• Creating interest in the school in the wider community.
• Representing and taking the views of the community into account.
• Regulating and facilitating the after-hours use of school premises and grounds.

The Council usually meets monthly on a Wednesday evening. Parents are welcome to attend school council meetings. If you would like to attend, please contact the office so that we can arrange for a school representative to welcome you to the meeting.
