School Board
The School Board embodies the principle of collaboration between parents and staff, and community partnership in decision-making processes. Its members include three parents (one being the Chairperson), two teachers, a community representative and the Principal. Staggered two-year terms ensure continuity in the Board's work. The Board encourages communication between the school and its community in determining the school's budget, curriculum and education policies as well as its many needs in relation to buildings, facilities, equipment, funds and staff.
Student Leadership at Macgregor (SL@M)
What is the role of SL@M at Macgregor?
Each class selects two representatives for our SL@M meetings which are held once per fortnight. Led by two volunteer staff members, students meet to discuss issues they feel are relevant to the student body. They design projects and fundraisers for our local community as well as for national and international causes.
1. To represent student voices from across the school.
2. To convey class concerns and/or school improvement ideas to the School Leadership Team.
3. To help build a strong sense of community; this could be through fundraising awareness campaigns (like Sorry Day, Anti-Bullying Day, NAIDOC, environmental & sustainability issues, saving electricity, saving water, health, nutrition etc).
Year 5 and 6 students participate in a formal leadership development program each year and have many opportunities to lead their peers throughout the year. These include becoming playground mediators, sport shed monitors and preschool buddies.
