Our School Board works with the Freshwater Bay Primary School community to achieve the best outcomes for our students. It plays an important role in contributing to good school governance so that resources are used efficiently, and community expectations and the school’s priorities reflect the needs of students.
The functions of our School Board are covered by legislation and include both approval and advisory roles. Some of the matters they may make decisions on include:
- fees and charges
- book lists
- sponsorship
- dress codes
These decisions are made with the Principal and other relevant decision-makers who ensure the decisions adhere to legislative and policy requirements.
The Principal may also seek the advice of the School Board to inform themselves before making management decisions. Board members have the right to understand the Principal’s decisions (except where they involve confidential information and decisions about people or families).
The Freshwater Bay Primary School Board has five parent representatives, four staff, one community representative and the Principal.
