School Board All government schools inVictoria have a school council. At Castlemaine Secondary College, the school council is called the College Board. The College Board is the group of people who govern the school. It is given the power to set the key directions for the school, and is a legal entity in its own right. The College Board directly influences the quality of education that a school provides to its students. School Board Membership There are three types of membership on school council: - Parent members
- DEECD employee members - the principal is included as a DEECD staff member and has full voting rights
- Community members - this is optional and these positions are co-opted, rather than elected.
The Role of the College Board The role of the College Board is outlined in the Education and Training Reform Act 2006. In essence, the role is one of setting the long term future for the school and maintaining oversight of the schools operation. Our College Board - 2009 Our 2009 College Council is made up of the following councillors: Executive Officer Mary McPherson President Kerry Ashley Vice Chairperson Treasurer Barry Sutton Parent Representatives Ronald Moore Genevieve Cantwell Neal Bethune Terry Duus Daryl Coulthard DEECD Representatives Deborah Harry Anne Bourke Steven Carroll Sue McCallum Co-Opted Members Daisy Berry Henry Paez Jackie Gregory Matthew Lorenz Phil Rowland Emily Hordern (Minute Secretary)
