The Werribee Primary School council is a group of interested parents, school staff and co-opted community members who volunteer to oversee the planning of the school's future. School Council positions are occupied for two-years at a time and elections are held early each year.
The Council usually meets on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30pm in the staff room. Members of the school community are welcome to attend any or all school council and sub-committee meetings. If you would like to attend a school council or sub-committee meeting, please contact the office so that we can arrange for a school representative to welcome you to the meeting.
Council members are keen to represent the whole school community, and are always interested in any thoughts or feedback that will help improve Werribee Primary School, to ensure our children have the brightest future possible.
