Toora Primary School

From The Hills To The Sea – Being The Best We Can Be

School Council

Working Together for Our School Community

At Toora Primary School, our School Council plays a vital role in shaping the direction of our school. It brings together parents, staff, and community members to ensure that every decision we make reflects the needs and aspirations of our students and families.

The Council is about more than governance, it’s about connection, collaboration, and creating the best possible learning environment for our children.

What the School Council Does

The School Council works closely with the Principal and staff to:

  • Set the broad direction and vision for the school
  • Approve and monitor the school budget
  • Develop and review school policies
  • Support fundraising and community events
  • Strengthen ties between the school and the wider community

By combining different perspectives and skills, the Council helps ensure Toora Primary continues to thrive.
