The School Board consists of representatives from parents/guardians, staff and the community. The Board works with the school community to achieve the best outcomes for students.
Some of the roles of the School Board are to:
The Board makes these decisions with the Principal (who is an ex officio member of the School Board) and other relevant decision makers, who ensure the decisions adhere to legislative and policy requirements.
It plays an important role in contributing to good school governance ensuring school resources are used efficiently, and community expectations and the school’s priorities reflect the needs of students.
The Board does not intervene in the control or management of the school. This is the role of the Principal.
