As part of the Integration Agreement, the Board is bound to uphold the School’s Special Character. Its role is one of governance and its relationship with the Principal is a supportive one. All education matters are delegated to the Principal.
Copies of the School Charter and Integration Agreement are available for parents to read in the School Office.
School Board Meetings
The Board meets regularly during the school year, twice per term, on a Monday night in the Administration Building. This meeting is advertised in the Grapevine and all members of the school community are welcome. Minutes, the correspondence list and reports to the Board are available in the office for parents to read. This is one way parents can be informed about the school’s activities and issues.
