Governing Council
Cambrai Primary School & Preschool Governing Council is committed to providing a positive, proactive voice on behalf of the school community.
Governing Councils work with site leaders to help set and monitor the direction of the school. The governing council meets twice a term and topics might include:
- the academic achievement of the students,
- the Site Improvement Plan, (that is what the school will be focussing on improving on the current year)
- fundraising
- supporting the community
- facilities and policies
Our role is to:
- set the broad direction of the school after considering student, parent, staff and community input
- develop policies which match the school’s vision
- monitor the school budget
Meeting Schedule
The Governing Council meets twice a term on Tuesday nights in Week 4 and 8. These dates can be found on the school calendar. The AGM is early in Term 1. Elected members serve for two-year terms. All members of the school community are welcome to attend Governing Council meetings, however only elected members have voting rights.

“The Governing Council at Cambrai Primary School & Preschool is proud to work alongside staff, families and the wider community to ensure our children feel connected, safe, respected and valued.
Guided by our Kanyini philosophy of connection to people, place, knowledge and spirit, we support a learning environment where every child is known, nurtured and challenged to thrive. As a small rural school and preschool, we value strong relationships, community involvement and opportunities for children to learn both within and beyond the classroom.
Our Governing Council is made up of dedicated parents and community members who contribute their time, ideas and expertise to support the school and preschool, including initiatives such as fundraising, the Eatery, Meldanda Environmental Education Centre, community events and other programs that enrich learning for our children.
We welcome new members, ideas and community involvement. If you would like to become involved, share a suggestion or learn more about the work of the Governing Council, please contact the school office.”
