Who is on the board

Being on the board allows people from the local community to get involved in the running of their school.

Anyone can be voted on to a board as a parent representative. To qualify, you must be nominated by a parent of a student at the school.

Board membership is not a paid position, but you may receive compensation for your time.

The board is made up of:

• community representatives elected by parents

• a staff-elected representative

• the principal

• a student representative if the school has students in Year 9 and above

• representatives of the school's owners if the board is for a state-integrated school.

The board can add more members to fill a skill gap or to make it more representative of the school's community.

Our current board members are:

• Hayden Cartwright - Presiding Member

• Lorraine Frances-Rees - Principal

• Suze Kelliher - Staff Representative

• Deb Jacobs - Parent Representative

• Khan Adam - Parent Representative

• Rae Gaskin - Parent Representative

• Hamiora Taite - Parent Representative

About board elections

A school holds elections for parent representatives every 3 years. A school may also hold midterm elections 18 months after the last election. All parent representatives are elected for a term of 3 years.

All parents of children attending the school can vote in the elections.

Our next board elections are due for late 2025.

Communicating with the board

The board meets regularly, and meetings are open to anyone to attend as an observer. If you want to speak at a meeting you will need to arrange this with the board in advance. Meeting minutes should be available on request from the school.

If you have a matter you want to raise with the board, contact the office to find out how best to do this.
