School Council,
Student Representative Council & Deadly Leader

The School Council convenes monthly at the school and serves as the governing body with legal responsibility for managing the school's operations, which encompass finance, buildings, grounds, and equipment. The council comprises three elected parent members, two co-opted members, two Department of Education and Early Childhood Development employee members, and the School Principal.

School Council elections occur every first term.

The Kalianna School SRC is composed of students from all learning centres who are democratically elected by their peers. To be elected, students must give a speech to their learning centre based on the school values. The SRC is headed by Dehne Anstee, with support from Sally Bush and it includes two School Captains, Vice Captains, and representatives from all learning centres.

The primary function of the Kalianna School SRC is to represent the student body and ensure that their voices are heard. The SRC conducts regular monthly meetings, where members discuss matters related to the school and provide input into the decision-making process. The SRC members are also actively involved in school events and activities, ensuring that students' interests are taken into account.

Aside from representing the student body, the SRC serves as a platform for students to develop leadership, communication, and teamwork skills. Through their work with the SRC, students gain valuable experience in public speaking, event planning, and project management.

The Deadly Leaders group at Kalianna School is made up of students from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, who are democratically elected by their peers.

To be elected, students must express their interest in supporting and promoting Indigenous culture and community within our school. The group is proudly led by Wendy Edwards and includes a passionate and proud team of students from across the school.

The primary purpose of the Deadly Leaders is to ensure that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are embedded in school life, events, and decision-making processes. They meet regularly to share ideas, plan cultural activities, and support initiatives that strengthen connections to Country, culture, and community.

In addition to their cultural leadership, the Deadly Leaders develop key skills in communication, teamwork, and advocacy. Through their involvement, students build confidence and pride in their identity, while also promoting respect and understanding throughout the school.
