* Goods, products, services or financial contributions offered by private individuals or organizations can assist the school to achieve its goals. School council needs a framework within which it can access these resources in a way which is both fair and in keeping with overall school policy.
* This policy will be in accordance with the principles expressed in the National Code of Practice for Sponsorship and Promotion in School Education.
* Sponsorships and promotions should be used to enhance educational programs and not to displace other funding arrangements on which the school depends.
* All sponsorship agreements should be reached through negotiation. The agreement must specify the roles and responsibilities of individual parties, and the nature and level of acknowledgement given to the sponsor.
* Sponsorship and promotional activities should be compatible with current educational values and practice. Time and resources allocated to these activities should be consistent with school priorities and the overall educational program.
* Participation in sponsorships and promotions should not generate undue pressure on children, parents or the school to purchase products or services, or to adopt particular beliefs, attitudes or courses of action eg.school endorsement of a particular product or service.
