sec.86 Elected members
The elected members of a school council are— the elected parent members; and the elected staff members; and if the school for which the council is established offers secondary education for year 10, 11 or 12—the elected student members. A poll for the election of an elected student member of a school council may take place at the same time as, or be combined with, other elections at the State school for which the council is established involving students, including, for example, the election of the school’s captain and vice-captain. Subsection (4) applies if, at the time of closure of nominations for the elected members of a school council, the number of nominations is less than the number of elected members required to be elected. The person who, under the council’s constitution, is responsible for conducting the election for the elected members must declare the persons who are properly nominated under the constitution to have been elected.
