The School Association is made up of the parents, staff, and community members of a school. The School Association is an important part of the school, working with the Principal to achieve shared outcomes for learners attending the school and for the benefit of the whole school community. The purpose of the School Association is to provide members with a way to participate and support the school. The following people are automatically members of the School Association:
- parents (parents or guardians who have children or young people enrolled at the school). Should you wish to be exempt as member please notify the School Association in writing.
- staff (permanent and fixed-term employees at the school)
- the Principal who is an automatic member of the School Association.
- community members can apply to be accepted as a member.
All members of the School Association can nominate to be involved in the Committee.
Nominations for the School Association Committee are now open.
Please complete the attached nomination form and return no later than 3:00pm on 17th May 2022.
Nominations can be forwarded to the Returning Officer, Debbie Chancellor, School Business Manager via email to prospect.high@education.tas.gov.au or the school office.
The School Association Constitution provides further information on the election process and the timings of the School Association Year. ** A member of the Committee who is to retire, or who has retired, may nominate for re-election as a member of the Committee. What is the School Association Committee?
Being part of the Committee also provides an opportunity to be actively involved and engaged in the school.
