College Council
2026 College Council Election - Declaration of Ballot
The College Council carries ultimate responsibility for setting the direction and ethos of the College. It decides on broad policy issues and oversees the structure of the College’s curriculum. Council has: 7 elected parent representatives, 5 staff representatives (including the Principal), 3 Co-option positions and 2 positions filled by representatives from the student executive.
Parent and employee representatives serve for a two-year term before being eligible for re-election. Half of the elected members retire each year, hence the need for annual elections. Any parent of a child enrolled at the College is eligible to stand for election as a parent member of Council.

The number of nominees in the Parent Member category [3] and in the School Employee Member category [2] did not exceed the number of vacancies.
