School Council

About

Working Together for Our Students

Our School Council plays an important role in shaping the direction of Alawa Primary School. It is made up of parents, staff and community members who work in partnership with the school to achieve the best educational outcomes for every student.


The council meets eight times a year (meeting dates are published in the Xuno Calendar).


To learn more about how school councils operate across the Northern Territory, visit the NT Government’s School Council Information.


Parents and community members are encouraged to get involved. It’s a meaningful way to have your voice heard and to support the growth of our school.
