Governance
At Bethany, governance is led by our School Council—a committed group of volunteers who work in partnership with the senior leadership team to guide the strategic direction of the school. The School Council operates under the Constitution of Lutheran Education Queensland and is responsible for ensuring strong governance, financial oversight, risk management, and alignment with our school’s mission and values.
Our School Council plays a vital role in supporting Bethany’s growth, stewardship, and long-term vision, helping to create a Christ-led learning community where love and learning transform lives. Through collaboration, faith, and wise decision-making, the Council ensures that Bethany remains a thriving, future-ready school for all students and families.
