Board Functions

The functions of school boards are guided by legislation and include both advisory and approval roles, all focused on helping the school run effectively and efficiently.

As the school’s main governing body, the Board works closely with the Principal and provides advice on the school’s long-term direction.

While it does not get involved in the daily operations of the school—and is separate from the P&C—it contributes valuable perspectives to support school planning and governance.

Membership

If you’re interested in contributing to your school community, we encourage you to nominate for a Board position when vacancies are advertised each year.
