The OLGC School Advisory Council encourages partnership and participation of school, parish and the wider community in the life of the school and parish.

While the provision of a school environment that supports the Catholic ethos is largely the responsibility of the parish priest, principal and school staff, the Advisory Council plays a significant role in supporting the spiritual and educational welfare of students.

Purpose

The purpose of the School Advisory Council is to: 

• act as an advisory body to the parish priest and principal, on matters concerning education in the parish 
• act as a forum for discussion on matters concerning education in the parish primary school 
• provide a link between the parish priest, principal, teachers and parishioners in relation to the provision of Catholic education in the parish community
• promote community development by fostering a strong interrelationship between parish and the parish primary school, Catholic secondary colleges and pre-schools
