Board of Trustees

It is recognised that the Board of Trustees has the overall governance responsibility for MNS, but to enable our school to function effectively, the Board of Trustees and the Principal work together in a climate of mutual goodwill, respect, trust and co-operation. 

The Board of Trustees functions include:

  • Establishing the purpose of the school as set out in the charter.
  • Allocating funds and resources enabling the staff to implement the charter goals, objectives and procedures.
  • Approving the appointment of staff and the purchase of major equipment.
  • Establishing the school's identity in the community and ensuring that consultation takes place.
  • Reporting to both the government and the school community.
  • Ensuring that all legislative requirements are met.

Our Board of Trustees is made up of five parent representatives, the school Principal and a staff representative elected every three years. Meetings are held in the school staffroom at 7-30pm. These are open meetings and everyone is welcome, with community input invited for the first 15 minutes.
