Coolamon College Council

The national body that oversees Coolamon College’s work as an Agency of the Uniting Church Assembly is called the College Council. Its members represent all synods and regions of Australia, and gather for at least one face-to-face meeting each year. National teleconferences are also held as needed (up to three per year) in order to monitor the needs, plans, and performance of the college and its staff.

Members of the College Council come from many backgrounds but have in common both expertise and interest in theological education and the processes of the church.

Chairperson of the College Council is Dr Marelle Harisun; and Rev Jo-Anne Fulton (Dean of Students / Education Developer) is Secretary. The Principal, Lee Levett-Olson, is a member ex officio. Full current membership is available on request.
