The School Board is composed of  parent/community members, Principal and Staff Representative. 

The members are responsible for governing this school through:

• Developing a Charter and Strategic Plan in partnership with the community

• Establishing school policies

• Reporting to and consulting with the community

• Oversight of resourcing including finance, buildings and grounds maintenance

• Principal appointments

Meetings are usually held twice a term in the school library.  Any items for discussion must be brought to the attention of the Presiding Member or Principal at least seven days prior to the meeting day.  Meeting days and times are notified in the newsletter and on our parent calendar.

Minutes of all meetings are kept in the School Office and are available for perusal.

Board members are elected to act on behalf of the school’s community to ensure that the school continuously improves student progress and achievement. 

Board work is primarily about governance of the school. Governance involves setting strategic direction through our vision, core values and strategic goals. Core work of the board includes setting targets and tracking student progress. This also includes regular review of curriculum areas. The board monitors financial expenditure of the school and sets a yearly budget. We also establish long term property plans and prioritize property projects with allocated funds.

The Board is responsible for ensuring the school complies with all legal directives made by the government and the Ministry of Education. This is done by ensuring we have robust policies and procedures in place. There is a clearly documented line between board work and management work. Boards govern (oversee management) and principals manage the school. It is not the role of the School Board to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the school, this is the responsibility of the principal and the school staff.
