SCHOOL BOARD
Our school board aims to nurture and celebrate the religious character of our school. It assists with the development of guidelines to support the implementation of Diocesan policies and may also identify specific areas of school life they believe require the development of policies.
Board meetings are held once each month.
AIMS OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
DECISION MAKING
The philosophy and practice of Collaborative Ministry and Sharing Wisdom are the essence of decision making and ministry of Boards.
“To each the Lord gives a piece of the wisdom. To no one does He give all the wisdom of God. We all get different pieces. And as a consequence, we must share our wisdom. We must hear, respect and treasure one another’s wisdom. We must work for a climate that is open and respectful.”
POLICY DEVELOPMENT
Schools adopt polices approved by the Diocesan Education Council. The School Board may need to develop guidelines to support the implementation of these policies. School Boards may also identify specific areas of school life they believe require the development of policies.
MEETINGS
Board Meetings are held once each month. An Annual General Meeting is held once a year. Parents wishing to serve on the School Board must attend an in-service which deals with aims and responsibilities and shared decision making.
