School Council is the governing body of the school made up of parents, teachers and members of the community. School Council meets to discuss and decide on a range of issues relating to school governance. It is supported by the work done by its subcommittees. The Fitzroy Primary School Council has nine members.

The council has four committees – Education, Buildings Grounds and Environment, Finance and Fundraising. Each committee meets regularly and meetings are open to all parents and carers.

French Bilingual subcommittee

This subcommittee works in partnership with the French Bilingual Association to lead the establishment of the school’s French Bilingual Program. By setting a clear vision for growth of the program in the coming years, the subcommittee supports the school and provides local families, as well as families from the French community across the Northern and Western suburbs, the opportunity for children to be immersed in French language and culture throughout their Primary School years at Fitzroy Primary School.
