The Board comprises of parent representatives, who are elected every three years by the parent community, along with the Principal, and a staff representative.  It co-opts members as needed to maintain an appropriate mix of relevant skills and experience.  As a Board, we have responsibility for the governance of the school, we have delegated to the Principal and Senior Leadership Team the responsibility for the overall management of the school on a daily basis.  The Board sets the long and short term objectives through the strategic and annual plans.

The Board monitors performance - including student achievement - against the objectives and national guidelines.  It determines major policies, sets the budget and ensures that the School is financially sound.

We meet twice a term, minutes are available at the School Office or online. Parents are welcome to attend.
