School Councils are founded in Queensland State Schools for the purpose of:
- establishing strategic direction and priorities of the school
- approval of the school's strategic plan
- facilitating and developing relationships between the school, the community and community organisations,
- operating in a way that achieves the best learning outcomes for the students.
The Pallara School Council comprises of the Principal, P&C President, teaching and non-teaching staff members and two parents. School Council elections are held at the beginning of the year and each appointed member holds office for two years unless the school council decides otherwise. Forms can be found on our school website.
Members attend two meetings per term: 
- Week 2 - Thursday 7:30am at the school
- Week 6 - Thursday 7:30am at the school
Blue card requirements apply to school council members who are not parents, teachers, or students under the age of 18 years. A valid blue card must be obtained before commencing duty for the school council which includes attending council meetings.
Our school engages with members of the community and government representatives.
