Governing Council
Bordertown High School Governing Council provides strong leadership around vision, strategy, compliance, risk management and financial sustainability to ensure that the School continues to be a leading South Australian education provider.
What do Governing Council Members do? Governing Council governs. This isn’t the same as managing. It’s more about guiding and setting direction. You don’t work alone when you are on a Council. You and the Site Leader have shared responsibilities. More details can be found at https://www.decd.sa.gov.au/
Areas covered include:
Curriculum–provide advice to the site leader to make sure the curriculum offered meets local community needs
Student Management –consult with the site’s community to assist when policies are made or reviewed
Staff employment –employ canteen staff
Big Picture Planning –work on the site improvement plan and set strategic directions
Finance –review, approve and monitor the site budget
Reporting –endorse the Annual Report and report to the community and the Minister for Education
Vacancies are usually for a two year term, but can be a one year term. Meetings are held twice a term on a Wednesday from 6.30pm.
If you are interested in becoming part of our Governing Council team please contact Alicia Keatley, School Principal or the Governing Council Chairperson.
