The Parents Council
The Parents Council is made up of 2 representatives for each year from 1st year to
6th year, plus the two parent representatives on the Board of Management of the School.
Elections to the Council happen every year at the AGM of the Parents Association
in September.
The objectives of the Parents Association, and therefore the objectives of the Council,
as outlined in the Constitution of the Parents Association are:
- To become aware of and embody the ethos of the College and its Ignatian influence
so that all can advance in a spirit of co-operation and mutual support to the benefit
of parents, College and pupils.
- To support and initiate activities which advance the academic, physical, social and
spiritual development of all pupils in accordance with the Mission Statement and
overall objectives of Gonzaga College as approved by the Board of Management.
- To provide opportunity for discussion, information and consultation about matters
of common interest to parents, teachers and pupils of Gonzaga College.
- To submit, as it deems fit, for consideration by the Board from time to time matters
arising from such discussion, information and consultation.
- To consider matters of educational interest; provided always that no reference shall
be made whether by name or otherwise to any specific student, parent, guardian, member
of staff or member of the Board.
