PublishingPageContent
​​​​​​​​​​​​MacGregor State School became an Independent Public School (IPS) in 2014 and established a School Council in that year. Our School Council was gazetted on 27 February 2015. School Councils are established to enable greater involvement of our school community and other stakeholders in setting the strategic direction of our school.
The role of our School Council is to:
·         Monitor our school's strategic direction;
·         Approve strategic plans and policies of our school;
·         Approve the annual estimate of revenue and expenditure for our school;
·         Advise our school Principal about strategic matters;
·         Work with others to continue to position MacGregor State School as a school of choice in the years ahead.
Our School Council elected members meet four (4) times a year. Elections for new members are advertised in our school e-Newsletter.

Dedicated, Passionate, and Motivated – designate Happy Rahman. I live a simple life embracing full of happiness with my wife and a six-year-old son, Manar.

" I'm Sammy, a dedicated kindergarten worker and a passionate volunteer in our local community. I have the joy of nurturing young minds at the kindergarten, where every day is an adventure filled with laughter and learning. 

In addition to my work, I run my own small business, allowing me to pursue my entrepreneurial dreams while balancing family life. I'm a proud mum of two wonderful daughters, ages 3 and 7, who inspire me every day with their curiosity and creativity. Together, we love exploring the arts, attending theater performances, musicals, and visiting museums. Our family also enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring parks, and embracing the beauty of nature.

I believe in the power of community and creativity, and I'm always eager to connect with others who share similar passions."

“My experience with Education Queensland extends from classroom teacher, regional curriculum advisor, Pedagogical Coach, small school Principal in the Darling Downs and Metropolitan region and now, Deputy Principal, MacGregor SS. I am passionate about knowing where learners are, what their next steps are and how to ensure they are accessing the curriculum commensurate to their ability. Working alongside teachers to enhance their capability and wellbeing is an integral part of this and something I am equally passionate about."​
