The school board is a formal mechanism for parents, carers, and staff to participate in school decision-making.  The Board is responsible for the school’s strategic direction while operational matters are the responsibility of the Principal. 

The functions of the school board include:

• establishing the strategic direction and priorities of the school
• monitoring, reviewing and reporting on school performance
• developing, maintaining and reviewing curriculum for the school
• establishing budgetary policies for the school and approving the school budget
• establishing policies for the efficient and effective use of school assets and the management of financial risk
• developing relationships between the school, the community and community organisations; and
• encouraging parent participation in their children’s learning

More information about the School Board is on the Duffy Primary School site.
