Abstract
This paper reports on findings related to the perceptions held by members of school communities with respect to the tasks and role of effective schools. The data are from a study conducted in Melbourne, Australia in 1990‐91. Findings from this research indicate that members of school communities: principals, teachers, school council members, parents and students believe that the tasks of an effective school are more than those related to the academic program and include the development of citizenship and self concept, personal development and employment skills and a concern for the educational development of all members of the school community.Keywords
