OUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY AND ALUMNI

School Board

As an Independent Public School Melville SHS now operates under the governance of a School Board. Appointment to the board is open to a wide cross-section of community representatives along with parents and friends of the school. Appointment is via nomination.

The School Board meets at 5:30 pm once or twice per term and provides financial oversight and advice on strategic direction. The School’s Business Plan and Annual Report are submitted for approval at the School Board’s Annual General Meeting.

Parents & Citizens Committee (P&C)

A vital and much-valued member of our school community, the Parents and Citizens Committee provides parents and friends of the school with the opportunity to assist the school in a number of practical and noteworthy ways.

Like the School Board, the P&C meets once or twice per term and assists the school through a dedicated fundraising effort. Through an executive committee and a number of sub-committees, the P&C oversees the operations of the school canteen, the swimming pool and improvements to the school environment along with the promotion of the school to the wider community. The P&C also provides financial support to the school’s chaplain and the Local Drug Action Group.

New members are always welcome and your participation is greatly appreciated.
