School Council
The Prahran High School Council is a legally formed body that has a key governance responsibility to help set, manage and review the strategic direction of our school.
School councils have four main overarching responsibilities:
- Finance: overseeing the development of the school’s annual budget and ensuring proper records are kept of the school’s financial operation
- Strategic planning: participating in the development and monitoring of the school strategic plan.
- Policy development and review: participating in the development and review of policies that reflect our values.
- Community development and engagement: advocating for the school in the community and supporting development of the community with events, fundraising, connections.
The Prahran High School Council meets twice per term on Monday evenings beginning at 6: 00 pm. Our meetings are generally open to the school community and the schedule is published on the Compass school calendar.
The 2024 School Council Annual General Meeting is held Monday 25 March, 2024 at 6: 00 pm. This is an open meeting and all community members are welcome to attend.

Important Student Health and Wellbeing Policies 2024
The health and wellbeing of our students is our absolute priority. These important policies guide our work, our commitments and our responses to various student health and wellbeing needs. These policies are reviewed annually.
Parent Payment Arrangements
Each year the Prahran High School Council reviews our parent payment arrangements and are committed to financial contributions which adhere to DET policy, provide for the very best educational opportunities for students, and are fair and reasonable for families/carers.
