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.
