School Board
The School Board plays an important role in supporting the strategic direction and governance of our school. Board members include parent representatives, staff members and the Principal, who work together to help ensure the best possible outcomes for our students.
The Board provides input into the school’s strategic planning, reviews school policies and financials, and supports the school in building strong connections with the wider community. While the Board does not have input into the day-to-day operations of the school, it works closely with the Principal to provide guidance and oversight.
Board meetings are held each term and all meetings are open to the public unless otherwise stated (although only Board Members may speak or vote during meetings). Nominations for membership are called when a vacancy arises – typically towards the end of the year.
