School Council
Trinity Bay State High School is an Independent Public School. We are a member of a group of 250 State school across the Queensland who work together for the improvement of school governance and outcomes for students which are governed by a School Council.
School councils enable greater involvement of the school community and other stakeholders, such as industry, in setting the strategic direction for the school.
Role
The School Council monitors the school's strategic direction, which includes:
approving plans and policies of the school of a strategic nature and other documents
affecting strategic matters, including the annual estimate of revenue and expenditure for the school
monitoring the implementation of plans, policies and other documents
advising the school's Executive Principal about strategic matters.
The Council must have regard to the documents listed in Schedule 1 of the School Council Constitution in performing its functions.
