A School Representative Body (school council or school board) enables parents to provide relevant input into student outcomes and the long-term strategic vision of the school. Meeting once per month during the school year, they must not meet less than eight times in a calendar year. Establishing good governance processes achieves a balance between formal meeting procedures and a friendly atmosphere of inclusion, cooperation and participation. To function effectively there must be a good working relationship between the Principal and its members based on mutual respect and a shared vision for the school.
