Our Board Members
Board members are elected to act on behalf of the school’s community to ensure that the school continuously improves student progress and achievement.
The Board's Role
The Board's Role
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 Board to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the school, this is the responsibility of the principal and the school staff.
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.

Education Review Office (ERO)
Education reviews are reports to boards of trustees, managers of early childhood education services and the Government on the quality of education provided for children and students in individual centres and schools.
We review schools and early childhood services on average once every three years. We review more frequently where the performance of a school or centre is poor and/or education and safety risks to students are identified.
We review less frequently where schools shows a stable reporting history and can demonstrate good self-review processes and use of assessment information.
Education reviews are available on this website. Hard copies are also available from the individual school or early childhood service or from any ERO office.
