About Our School

School Board

The role of a School Board is one of setting the long term future of the school and maintaining oversight of the school’s operation. We meet once a term at on a Thursday and meetings usually run for 1 hour. Membership is open to Parents/Carers, Grandparents, Guardians and Community members. Scheduled dates for 2023 are 21st February, 11th May, 3rd August & 26th October.

Some of the responsibilities of an Independent Public School Board are to

  • Contribute to the Business plan
  • Endorse and review the annual budget
  • Create interest in the school within and across the community

Role of School Board members

  • Community members bring a particular skill to the Board. This may include business, accounting or building skills, or some other skill that the school is looking for at the time
  • Department of Education employees bring their educational expertise to Board meetings

The School Board does not
