College Council

Phoenix P-12 Community College operates under, and adheres to, the democratic principles of Australian and Victorian law.

Our commitment is to model in learning, teaching, organisation, practices and governance the requirements under which government schools are registered. As such, a duly elected School Council provides community voice and accountability to ensure all aspects school operations remain focused on the student. School Council ensures that inclusive practices and policies guide school decision making.

The College encourages parent participation in a range of activities and provides many opportunities for parents to be involved. The College Council consists of fifteen representatives including the College Principal and Business Manager. There are seven elected parent members and four Department of Education and Training (DET) employees. The College Council is the governing body that determines, within guidelines issued by DET, the general education policy of the College; management of the College finances; maintenance and development of buildings, grounds and equipment. Much of the College Council’s work is organised through a range of sub-committees.

The School Annual Implementation Plan can be found on the College Website. The annual meeting of the College Council is held in March each year where the annual report is tabled and elections are held to fill vacancies.

Our College School Council President, Jarrod Page, was returned as President in March 2021.
