The Council is fully incorporated under the Northern Territory Education Act with a nominated membership of a minimum of six parents, with two students, one teacher representative, the Business Manager as Treasurer and the Principal as Executive Officer. A number of community members may also be seconded.

The Arrernte people are the traditional owners of Mparntwe, which we know as Alice Springs. They have been here since time began. Arrernte people continue to live in Mparntwe, where they look after the country and teach children the Arrernte language and the importance of culture. According to the traditional owners, this place was shaped by caterpillars, wild dogs, travelling boys and many other ancestral figures. Some of the first Dreaming stories ever recorded were those of the Arrernte people of Central Australia. As a College we acknowledge that we are meeting on the traditional country of the Arrernte people, and we pay respect to Elders past and present. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land, which continue to be important to the Arrernte people living here today.
