Centralian Senior College Council
The Centralian Senior College Administration is supported by The College Council. 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.
This membership structure ensures that The Council is composed of a range of key stakeholders.
The College Council meets monthly (during school terms) in the College’s Conference Room. Dates for meetings are published in the College newsletter. Election of parent representatives occurs at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in March each year.
Membership is for a period of one or two years.
Parents are welcome to contact members of The Council or to attend meetings to discuss issues.
New College Constitution
With the new Education Act in place, all School/College Council Constitutions have required updating. Using the new model provided by the Department of Education, Councils were invited to make changes in the area of the composition of the Council as well as Council Objectives.
The Constitution will be ratified at the next Council meeting (Tuesday 27th Sept) at 5.30pm – it will be a Special General Meeting for this purpose.

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.
