Why do we have a School Board?

​Generally speaking, a school board is responsible for the Governance of the School.  Basically, this means the board oversees the performance of the school including the school’s management and the school’s financial performance. A school board is also responsible for maintaining the school’s mission, values and objectives.

The Shearwater School Board guides the School management to ensure decisions made are aligned with the School’s mission, values and objectives, whilst ensuring financial viability, educational and legal compliance. Last but not least, as Shearwater is an i
ncorporated not-for-profit organisation, it must by law have a constitution (aka rules) and the
Shearwater Constitution requires our School to have a Board.
