Community Council

The St Clare of Assisi Community Council was established in 2006 through the amalgamation of the School Board and Parents & Friends Association. It plays a vital role in shaping the life of our school by:

  • providing a parent forum
  • building community connections
  • strengthening partnerships between families and staff
  • overseeing and supporting fundraising initiatives
  • advising in policy development

Elected representatives meet regularly to discuss school matters and serve as a voice for our wider school community.
