Be part of our school board

Members play an important role in contributing to good school governance so that school resources are used efficiently, and community expectations and the school’s priorities reflect the needs of our students.

The School Board is a collaborative team working for the benefit of the students, staff and school community. The Embleton Primary School Board’s main role is to be involved in the governance of the school, which means playing a role in shaping and monitoring the school’s objectives, priorities and general directions.

Key functions of a School Board are:

Decision making

Some of the matters councils and board members may make decisions on include contributions and charges, book lists, sponsorship and dress codes. They make these decisions with the principal and others who ensure the decisions meet legislative and policy requirements.

Informing

Principals also seek the perspective of councils and board members to understand local community views. Members also take part in establishing and reviewing the school’s objectives, priorities and general policy directions.

Promoting

Members positively promote the school in the community.
