School Council

At Vineland Public School, we believe that parents are important and make a real difference to children's learning. When parents are involved children do better and achieve more. School Council allows everyone involved in school life - parents, learners, teachers, school staff and the wider community to work together to support the school. It also allows all parents to have a say in their children's education by affording the opportunity to express their views and ideas.

School Council meetings are usually held the first Monday of each month, at 6:30 pm in the Library. Check this month's calendar for specific details. No meetings are held in January, July, or August.

REGULAR MEETINGS ARE HELD THE FIRST MONDAY OF EVERY MONTH.  Check the online calendar link above for more information

COMMITTEE MEETINGS are held the THIRD MONDAY of EVERY MONTH.   Check the online calendar link above.

SCHOOL COUNCIL MEETINGS are open to all!

Nominations and elections for the upcoming year are due in September.  Click here for a copy of the School Council Constitution (Revised June 2011)
