All government schools in Victoria have a school council. They are legally constituted bodies that are given powers to set the broad directions of a school in accordance with their constituting Order and the Education and Training Reform Act 2006. In doing this, a school council is able to directly influence the quality of education that the school provides for its students.
Parents on school councils provide important viewpoints and have valuable skills that can help inform and shape the direction of the school. Those parents who become active on a school council find their involvement satisfying and may also find that their children feel a greater sense of belonging. Nominations for School Council are called for in February each year and this is a great way to become involved.

Our Buildings and Grounds committee organise working bees each term to give families the chance to get involved in a practical, yet enjoyable way at Bimbadeen. Working bees help to maintain and improve the gardens and school facilities as well as meet other families to build our sense of community. A BBQ and drinks are provided at the end of the working bee.

An external provider currently runs our canteen.  We offer lunch orders in this way to keep the costs down and make it affordable for families. Canteen is run on Tuesday and Friday and orders can be made through ‘Flexischools’. While we no longer require parent help for our canteen, we do appreciate the support given by our parents to be able to continue this service for our students
