College Parent Groups

The College Parents, Teachers and Friends (PTF) is a dynamic group of people who support all aspects of College life. The group meets monthly rotating the meeting venue through the three Campuses.

Guest speakers are a highlight of the meetings and the PTF are a source of reference for the Principal team. Fundraising activities include carboot sales, electionday BBQs, second hand uniform shop and second hand text book sales. Money raised from these events is targeted to various educational and facilities projects – current projects are air conditioning and computer technology across the College. Campus Working Bees are also well supported by our parent, teacher and student community. At the Sandringham 7-10 Campus the 'Reading Mums' assist everyday with the Campus Reading program listening to students read.

School Council

Sandringham College is a legally formed body that sets key directions of the College in accordance with Government and Department of education and early childhood development (DEECD) policies and guidelines. In carrying out this role, the Council has a direct influence on the quality of education that the College provides for its students.

Who is on School Council?

There are three possible categories of membership:

• A mandated elected Parent category
• A mandated elected DDECD employee category
• An optional community member category

Why is Parent membership so important?

Parents provide important viewpoints and have valuable skills that can help shape the direction of the College. Those parents who become active on council find their involvement satisfying in itself and may also find a greater sense of belonging to the College.
