College Advisory Council

The St Edmund’s College Canberra Advisory Council works collaboratively with the Principal, Leadership Team and EREA Executive to ensure faithfulness to the Charter for Catholic Schools in the Edmund Rice Tradition and quality stewardship aimed at offering the best possible learning at the College.

The College Advisory Council provides advice to the Principal and has particular responsibilities for:

Faithfulness to the EREA Charter and Touchstones Collaborating with the Principal on submissions to EREA for strategic planning, budget and annual audited statements and capital works and master planning Endorsement of major policies that are consistent with EREA Support for the Principal in relation to compliance with EREA Risk Policy

The College Advisory Council also provides advice and support to the Principal on any matters referred to by the Principal, and any significant matter that falls within its delegated responsibilities. It is also represented on selection panels for some senior appointments, and participates in school renewal and leader appraisal processes.

Appointed by EREA on the recommendation of the Principal and Advisory Council Chair, Members are chosen to meet the expertise needs of the College Advisory Council, not as representatives of any body. The Principal is an ex officio member of the Advisory Council.
