School Council

The School Council is made up of nine councilors who are specialists in a variety of fields including academia, finance, law, and architecture. Representatives from the Parents’ and Friends’ and the Old Girls and Boys Association are also included in School Council.

The school engages a number of sub-committees which are advisory bodies to the school. They report regularly at School Council meetings and provide advice and make recommendations to the School Council, which has the final responsibility for decisions.

Sub-committees are open to non-School Council members and therefore provide opportunities to involve many people in the school who are not members of School Council. The sub-committees include: Finance Committee, Buildings and Grounds Committee, Berwick Grammar School Foundation Committee, Executive Committee.
