Governing Council

The Governing Council is made up of a diverse group of parents from both Primary and Secondary families along with community members who volunteer their time to work with the site leader to help set and monitor the direction of the school.

Sub-committees are central to how most Council’s work and at Lucindale we have several committees that operate under the Council.  Some of the committees are mandatory however some are driven by what is happening locally and what our current focuses are.

These sub-committees include:

Canteen

Farm

Finance

Bus

Boarding House

Chaplaincy

Additional members of the school community contribute to the sub-committees with a Governing Council member acting as chairperson for each sub-committee who then reports back to the Governing Council at meetings held twice a term.

We also work alongside affiliated committees who help support the Council to achieve the focus of school and community working together.  Currently these committees include the LAS Parents & Friends Club and the Lucindale Chaplaincy Support Group.

The Governing Council is focussed on building relationships between key stakeholders at the school including families, staff, students and the wider community. The Governing Council is always looking to improve our school through major works such as a shaded area over our Junior Primary Sandpit, increased seating around the school and the transformation of the front of the school.

The Governing Council AGM is held in term one each year and we are always keen for nominations as well as members of each sub-committee. Tim Kiefel is the current Chairperson and he, along with all members of Governing Council, welcome your questions regarding the Council and how you can be involved with it and/or the sub-committees.
