School Advisory Council

The Sacred Heart School Advisory Council is the official community body set up by the Catholic Archbishop of Perth in collaboration with the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia to assist in the financial management and future planning aspects of the school.

The School Advisory Council has a constitution and is bound by the policies and directions of the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia.

It meets on a bi-monthly basis to review the school’s financial position, review capital development planning, and to consider reports from representatives of the Parents and Friends Association, the Parish Pastoral Council and the Principal.

The work of the School Advisory Council is reported annually at the Annual General Community Meeting, held in conjunction with the P&F Association’s Annual General Meeting, in November.

The School Advisory Council comprises the Principal and Parish Priest as Ex-Officio members, Elected Parents, and a Nominee of the Parents and Friends Association. School Advisory Council Sub-Committees operate in the areas of Finance, Marketing, Planning and Maintenance and other areas as appropriate.

Membership of the School Advisory Council is an opportunity for parents to become involved in a service role to support the organisation of, and future planning for the School.
