College Council
The College Council is the formal governing body of Wellington Secondary College. Working in partnership with the Principal, Council plays an important role in setting the strategic direction of the College and supporting continuous improvement. Council’s responsibilities include strategic planning, policy approval, financial oversight, and facilities planning to support the best possible outcomes for students.
All government school councils in Victoria operate under the Education and Training Reform Act 2006. Each council is established through an Order of the Minister for Education, which outlines its membership, responsibilities, powers, and accountabilities.
Parents, carers, students and community members are invited to become involved in the College Council. Membership provides an opportunity to contribute to the ongoing success and future direction of Wellington Secondary College while strengthening the partnership between the College and its wider community.

College Community Voice
The College Community Voice is a parent volunteer group that helps create a welcoming and connected school community. Members organise and support social events, coordinate fundraising activities, and contribute to initiatives that benefit students and the College.
The group also represents the views of the parent community to the Principal and through its parent representative on College Council. Funds raised by the group help provide equipment, facilities, and prizes that support College events and activities.
The College Community Voice meets once each term on a Wednesday evening from 6.00 pm. New members are always welcome. To get involved, please email wellington.sc@education.vic.gov.au.
