Our Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees is responsible for seven key work areas in the school, which are:

• Development and ongoing review of the school charter.
• Monitoring and reviewing your school’s progress.
• Putting in place a policy framework.
• Employing the principal.
• Managing assets.
• Ensuring your school’s legal compliance.
• Implementing the National Education Guidelines.

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 of Trustees 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 of Trustees govern (oversee management) and principals manage the school. It is not the role of the Board of Trustees to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the school, this is the responsibility of the principal and the school staff.
