Who's Who
on Bell Primary School Council
And it's various subcommittees
While School Council is primarily responsible for the key decisions
regarding school policy, it relies heavily on recommendations put
forward by the specialist sub-committees that operate in support
of our school community. Getting involved on a committee provides
an excellent training ground for parents aspiring to join school
council and new members are always welcome to join. Parents are
invited to nominate for election to School Council in term one of
each year, coinciding with the school’s annual general meeting.
