Tranby College Council

Tranby College is an independent school which operates under the auspices of the Uniting Church in Australia, Western Australian Synod. The management of Tranby is vested in the Tranby College Council. The Council sets policy and delegates to the Principal responsibility for the management of the College. In this role the Principal receives advice on financial matters by the College Administrator and on educational matters by the Heads of the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools.

The Chairperson of the College Council is appointed by the Synod. Seven members are appointed by Synod, three by the Rockingham Parish of the UCA and two by the Tranby College Parents' and Friends' Association.

The Council Committees are Finance & Property, Childcare, Governance and Education. Opportunities are provided for parents and staff to be members of these committees. Expressions of interest are called for from time to time.

The College Council reports to the annual Synod of the Uniting Church of Australia (WA) and to the Tranby College Parents and Friends Association at their Annual General Meeting in October.
