Governing Board

​

A school's Governing Board is a body established according to the Education Act. It is composed of the principal, parents, teachers, and representatives of non-teaching professionals and support staff, as well as community representatives. All decisions made by the governing board must be in the interest of the school, the students, the parents, the school staff, and the community. All committee members work in partnership to ensure that every student receives the best possible learning opportunity.
