It is a requirement of the school that children wear sun safe hats at all times when they are outdoors. This includes coming to and from school. Ross Park hats are available from the front office, or any bucket hat can be worn. Children without approved hats will be confined to undercover areas during play sessions. Caps do not meet the sun safe guidelines. Ross Park School follows the recommendations of the Northern Territory Cancer Council.

The School Council is comprised of an elected body of eleven parents and five teachers, the School Principal (ex officio), School Business Manager, Council Secretary and up to two invited members. The Council supports and promotes the school in accordance with its philosophy and constitution. The School Council contributes to the management of school finances and school property, and supports strategic planning and school direction, as well as involving parents in school events wherever possible. The Council AGM is held in March. Parents meet to elect approximately half their Council members for a two-year term. Active parent participation is essential to the development of the school. The Council Chairperson is elected from the parent councillors for a term of two years. Subcommittees operate within Council on a need’s basis and report to Council. If you are interested and can help in any of the subcommittees, it is not necessary to be a member of School Council to join a subcommittee. During school terms, the Council meets on the third Monday of each month at 5:00 pm in the staffroom. Virtual access is also available via an email link invitation. All parents are welcome to attend Council meetings.
