HUME VALLEY SCHOOL COUNCIL
School Councils play a vital role in Victorian government schools and are established and operate under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006 (Vic), the Education and Training Reform Regulations 2017 (Vic) and a constituting Order.
If you are interested in becoming a member of the Hume Valley School Council, or would like to communicate with the School Council, please contact Marnie Cooper at marnie.cooper2@education.vic.gov.au
From the 2026 school year, school council members, except VIT registered teachers and students, are required to hold a Working with Children Clearance (WWCC) (either a volunteer WWCC, or employee WWCC), when nominating for a role on school council. Current school council members are not required to obtain a WWCC until they nominate for re-election/co-option. This policy, guidance and resources will be updated by 10 February 2026 to reflect this change and other changes made to Ministerial Order 1280 (Constitution of Government School Councils) 2020.
Meetings will be held in 2026 on:
