School Advisory Council
In Catholic schools the school governing body is the Canonical Authority who has jurisdiction over the school. The Canonical Authority has responsibility for authorising the governance structure and process for management.
At St Brigid’s College, Horsham our Canonical Authority is Parish Priest, Fr. Peter Hudson.
The Principal of St Brigid’s College is advised by the College Advisory Council. The Advisory Council is not a canonical authority; its role is to support the spiritual and educational development of our students and share responsibility for guiding the school toward continuous improvement. The Advisory Council does this through its contribution to school plans and policies and its participation in activities that uphold the mission of St Brigid’s College as expressed in the Vision and Mission statement of the school. The Advisory Council meet monthly in the College Boardroom.
The St Brigid’s College School Advisory Board Members comprise of:
| Chairperson – Parent Representative | Mr Dean Winfield |
| Deputy Chairperson – Parent Representative | Mr Kingsley Dalgleish |
| Parent Representative | Mrs Allison Lord |
| Parent Representative | Mrs Penelope Manserra |
| Staff Representative | Mr Tony Nield |
| Canonical Administrator | Fr Peter Hudson |
| Principal | Mr Peter Gutteridge |
| CEO Representative | Mr Bill Slatter |
| Minutes Secretary | Mrs Sharon Fedke |
