Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees are an elected group of parents and teachers who work co-operatively towards a common aim. The election of the Board of Trustees is held every three years. Additional members can be co-opted onto the Board for various lengths of time.

Board of Trustees members are elected as your representatives. All interested community members are welcome at meetings. The minutes of the Board meetings are available in the Waikouaiti Public Library, and on the notice board in the school office.

Parents / caregivers are able to have input into the schools operation when:

· The School Charter is reviewed

· Policy is formulated / reviewed

In general it is the responsibility of the schools management, i.e. the Principal, staff to action policies. Any enquiries relating to the school programme and progress should be directed to the principal or class teacher.

Enquiries relating to actual policy should be directed to the Board members. Matters for discussion by the Board should be written and sent / given to the Board one week before a meeting to ensure that is included on the agenda.

Notification of Board meetings are included in the school newsletter. Which is sent home every second Wednesday.
