​​​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.

 

Please download the TBSHS School Council Constitution​​ for more ​information.
