School councils have three main overarching responsibilities:
Finance: overseeing the development of the school’s annual budget and ensuring proper records are kept of the school’s financial operation
Strategic planning: participating in the development and monitoring of the school strategic plan.
Policy development and review: participating in the development and review of policies that reflect our values.
The school council plays an important role in Homestead as the decisions made and the activities engaged have a real impact on our school’s community’s confidence in the way we are managed.
School councils set the key direction of Homestead and in doing this, is able to directly influence the quality of education and support that the school provided for its students.
Meetings are designed to ensure that the community has the opportunity to provide direct feedback to the college on its policies, including Child Safe related policies.
Families are welcome and encouraged to provide feedback on College Policies. The college can support this, the best way is to email the college on Homestead.Senior.SC@education.vic.gov.au.
The Homestead Senior Secondary College Council meets twice per term on Wednesday evenings beginning at 6: 00 pm.
Our annual general meeting AGM is held in March each year.
