Governance and Student Leadership
Student Voice
The Student Executive group will work collaboratively with all members of the Le Fevre High School community to ensure that each year the relationship within our school, internally and externally, will grow and develop. Our number one goal is to make sure that students have a voice that is heard by teachers to build our school spirit, support our school’s values.
Governing Council
The governing council plays a critical role in ensuring our continued success – which naturally translates into our students’ successes.
The governing council is the formal parent body of Le Fevre High School. It is highly regarded and recognised for its pro-active involvement in the educational advocacy and achievements of the school

- Principal (ex-officio)
- staff members (nominated to the council by election at a general staff meeting)
