School Governance Committees (SGCs)
Each SCE school has a School Governance Committee (SGC).
The purpose of the SGC is to enable parents and the wider service community to contribute to the strategic direction and governance of the school. The aim of this involvement is to improve the educational provision and outcomes for pupils and families.
Unlike school governing bodies in the UK, SCE School Governance Committees do not have responsibility for the school budget nor do they act as the employer of staff. Nevertheless, the intention is that SGCs should, as far as possible, mirror the role of UK school governing bodies. Anyone wishing to join their school governance committee should in the first instance talk with the headteacher. A copy of the SGC leaflet can be accessed by the link.
