College Council
The Forest Hill College Council is a legally formed body that has been given powers to set the key directions of the college within centrally provided guidelines. The College Council is able to directly influence the quality of education that the college provides for its students.
There are three categories of membership:
A mandated elected parent category. More than one third of the total members must be from this category. Department of Education and Training employees can be parent members at their child's school.
A mandated elected Department of Education and Training employee category. These members may make up no more than one third of the total membership of the council. The Principal is automatically included as one of these members.
An optional community member category. Its members are coopted by a decision of the council because of their special skills, interests or experiences. Department of Education and Training employees cannot be community members.
All parents of students at the college are eligible to stand for election to the council.The term of office for members is two years, with half the members retiring each year.
Parents on the council provide important viewpoints and have valuable skills that can help to shape the direction of the college. Parents who become active on the council invariably find their involvement a rewarding one, finishing each year with a sense of accomplishment.
Parent members of council usually attend one or more of the following College Council sub committees:
