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.

Important Student Health and Wellbeing Policies 2022
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 schedule of school charges for families and charges are set for the year ahead. The School Council are committed to a schedule of school charges which adheres to DET policy, provides for the very best educational opportunities for students and is fair and reasonable for families.
