What do Board members do at St Francis Xavier School?

Our Board assures the Ministry of Education that:

The students in the school are receiving a high-quality standard of education

National priorities for school education are being addressed in the school

The resources are being used prudently to ensure the highest possible quality programmes are provided for students

To accept this responsibility requires the Board to provide sound governance for the school as a professional institution. 

This means:

  • Ensuring staff have a clear sense of purpose
  • Setting priorities and goals for the improvement of learning and achievement in the school, particularly for Māori and Pacific Islanders
  • Seeking assurances from the management (principal and senior staff) that the programmes being implemented in the school can achieve goals
  • Evaluating information on the outcomes that the school's students are achieving in respect of the goals that have been set
  • Seeking assurance from the school's management that the school's resources are being used optimally to deliver the agreed outcomes, ensuring, for example, that resources are available to ensure the knowledge and skills of the teacher/support are up to date
  • As Board members of a Catholic School, they also ensure that students are educated within an atmosphere of Christ's love, which permeates all that occurs in the school.
