Committee
The School Association Committee joins staff, parents, and community together with the goal to provide the best education for our students.
The committee participates in forming school policy, priorities and strategies. It’s more than fundraising, and involves:
- Supporting the school’s improvement
- Being the parent voice in school policy
- Working with staff and community to enhance student education
What is a School Committee?
Every state school in Tasmania has a School Association.
The School Association Committee (the committee) is an elected group that represents each arm of the School Association. The committee works together for the benefit of the school and association. The committee is responsible for the business and administration of the School Association.
Governance Resources
Constitution
The School Association Constitution is a set of rules outlining how the School Association will operate. It is important that all members of the School Association are aware that the School Association has a Constitution.
Practical Resources for School Association Committees
Volunteer Engagement
Thanks to a small grant through Volunteering Tasmania and funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services, TASSO has developed a new Volunteer Engagement Resource Guide; created with and for School Association Committees.
The Guide explores practical, inclusive, and flexible ways to support and strengthen volunteer engagement aligned with best-practice volunteering.
