The school has a range of policies
that assist its management and these are supported by the Arbury Park
Outdoor School Council. The Council is strongly involved in management
of the school, and works collaboratively with staff on school
development priorities, land management strategies and staffing issues.
As the school has no permanent parent community, the Council has been
specially constituted, and draws its membership from a range of
organisations, including
Department of Education and Children's Services
Ecologically Sustainable Development Unit (DECS)
South Australian Association of State School Organisations
Local school community
Adelaide Hills Council
Landcare/Water catchment care groups
Sub-committees of council are finance and grounds. All staff have
opportunities to participate in these.
