What do Trustees do?

Trustees on a school Board of Trustees work together to make sure every child/tamariki reaches their highest possible standard in educational achievement. As part of that key responsibility, here are some of the things boards do: 

• Work with the Principal and consult with staff, students and the community 
• Set the educational goals and strategic direction of the school
• Monitor progress and let parents know how the school is progressing against its annual targets and how well students are achieving
• Decide how the school’s funding will be spent
• Support the school’s Principal and support the development of all staff
• Oversee the management of staff, property, finances, curriculum and administration
