Board of Trustees

It is recognised that the Board of Trustees has the overall responsibility for the school, but to enable a school to function effectively, the Board of Trustees and Principal work together in a climate of mutual goodwill, respect, trust and co-operation. Our Board of Trustees works hard to foster good relations with the staff and community and is currently in the process of developing a Strategic Plan/Charter and associated policies.

The four major roles of a Board of Trustees are -

  1. The overall governance of the school.

  2. In its governance role the Board of Trustees is primarily responsible through the charter, for the establishment of goals for this school. This requires the Board to establish school policies after due consultation with the Principal, staff and school community, monitor and evaluate their results and review policies regularly.

  3. To support the Principal in his management role, by providing the delegated authorities in education, administration, personnel and finance matters to allow the Principal to manage effectively.

  4. To select the Principal and approve the appointment of all staff.

Boards of Trustee members are elected for a term of 3 years - all parents and caregivers are entitled to vote and stand for office.
